Bitget, in collaboration with Block Scholes, released a research report stating that cross-asset hedging has become a mainstream strategy.

Bitget, in collaboration with data research firm Block Scholes, released a report analyzing the correlation between crypto assets and traditional financial markets driven by macroeconomic events, based on market data from the first quarter of 2026. The report points out that as the correlation between Bitcoin and major stock indices rises to its highest level since the end of 2025, traders' demand for real-time cross-market allocation is increasing. Data shows that Bitget's CFD trading volume has shown a continuous growth trend: daily trading volume was approximately $2 billion in the early stages, subsequently increasing to $4 billion, and exceeding $6 billion during periods of increased market volatility. The report believes that this change reflects that some users are gradually incorporating crypto assets, stocks, and commodities into a unified trading framework for overall management, rather than treating them as completely independent trading strategies. The report further points out that against the backdrop of continuously increasing multi-asset correlations and increasingly prominent macroeconomic-driven trading characteristics, the Universe Exchange (UEX), which integrates crypto assets and traditional financial instruments into a single account system, is attracting increasing attention from active traders and is gradually becoming an important trading scenario for cross-asset allocation.
