Bitget since September has said it is much more than a centralized cryptocurrency exchange.

Dragonfly General Partner Rob Hadick and Bitget CEO Gracy Chen peel back Bitget's universal exchange branding to reveal the trends driving the company's expansion and really that of other exchanges both in TradFi and crypto.

The main takeaway? “Users want a place to trade everything.”

Gracy also teases Bitget's U.S. market entry plans and lets slip the real reason the company transferred ownership of BGB. 

Plus, why Gracy is not so optimistic about AI agents materially impacting the crypto market and what Rob says needs to happen for altcoins to accrue value again. He says it is no longer a market where everything goes up and down together.
