Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has become the first centralized exchange to enable onchain trading across the Monad blockchain, the company announced today. The integration lets Bitget users trade Monad-based assets directly from their Bitget spot wallets using USDC, removing the need to jump between platforms or manage external wallets.
The move is part of Bitget’s wider Onchain expansion, which aims to fuse centralized liquidity with fast, Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 environments. Monad, a fully EVM-compatible chain built for high performance, promises up to 10,000 transactions per second through a combination of parallel execution, an optimized database structure, and an advanced consensus design. By supporting Monad at launch, Bitget is extending its multi-chain Onchain offerings and giving users direct access to a growing ecosystem designed for low-latency, high-throughput trading.
“Onchain trading should feel fast, intuitive, and reliable, not fragmented,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Monad brings serious performance to Ethereum-compatible infrastructure, and integrating it directly into Bitget Onchain gives users access to that speed without changing how they trade. This is exactly how UEX is meant to work.”
Bitget’s Onchain Push
The integration aligns with Bitget’s strategy to unify centralized and onchain markets under a single account structure, reducing friction for traders who navigate multiple blockchain environments. It also builds on the exchange’s recent Onchain developments, which include multi-chain support, AI-assisted trading tools, and exchange-level safeguards applied to decentralized markets, features Bitget says will help maintain a consistent user experience across both centralized and decentralized venues.
Founded in 2018, Bitget serves more than 120 million users and offers access to millions of crypto tokens, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other tokenized real-world assets. On the decentralized front, Bitget Wallet, described by the company as an everyday finance app, serves over 80 million users and aims to bridge blockchain rails with conventional finance by offering on- and off-ramping, trading, earning, and payments in one platform.
The Monad partnership also dovetails with Bitget’s broader push into brand partnerships and global outreach. The exchange is the Official Crypto Partner of LaLiga in several markets, has announced educational initiatives with UNICEF targeting 1.1 million people by 2027, and is the exclusive cryptocurrency exchange partner of MotoGP™. With Monad now live on its Onchain rails, Bitget positions itself as an early integrator of next-generation blockchain infrastructure at a time when speed and interoperability are becoming decisive for onchain trading.
