The report outlines a system-level security framework designed for exchanges operating across crypto, tokenized assets, and traditional financial markets within unified account environments.

As trading platforms evolve into Universal Exchanges, first coined by Bitget CEO Gracy Chen at its 7th year anniversary, security challenges extend beyond single-asset custody and on-chain safeguards.

Unified margin systems, shared settlement infrastructure, and cross-market access introduce new risks, with failures at the account, data, or permission layer capable of rippling across products and asset classes.

The report addresses these challenges by shifting the security conversation from isolated controls toward continuous, verifiable resilience.

The UEX Security Standard defines five core benchmarks for the next generation of exchange security: verifiable solvency, multi-asset risk isolation, data security and privacy protection, AI-driven dynamic monitoring, and resilient application and infrastructure defense.

Together, these standards aim to ensure that risks can be contained, correctness can be verified, and trust can scale alongside platform complexity.

The framework is grounded in measurable safeguards already in place at Bitget, including a regular Proof of Reserves reporting and a strong Protection Fund.

These measures are reinforced through collaboration with BlockSec, spanning real-time monitoring, offensive security testing, incident response readiness, and compliance-grade controls such as AML screening and fund tracing.

“The transition to Universal Exchanges changes the nature of security risk,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Security can no longer focus on individual assets or reactive disclosure. It must operate at the system level, where risks are identified early, isolated by design, and verified under real-world conditions.”

From BlockSec’s perspective, the report reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated security architectures.

“UEX is not just a product upgrade. It is a structural shift in how trading infrastructure and security must work,” said Yajin Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of BlockSec. “When you combine crypto-native assets with stocks, ETFs, and other off-chain instruments, the security boundary expands dramatically. Platforms must prove asset transparency, ensure pricing integrity, and secure off-chain dependencies to the same standard as on-chain systems. UEX demands a unified, verifiable security framework that can protect multi-asset trading at scale.”

Beyond technical architecture, the report also emphasizes transparency, emergency response readiness, and user education as part of a comprehensive security model.

It positions security not as a static feature, but as an operating discipline that must evolve alongside market structure and product complexity.

The UEX report is intended to serve as a reference point for exchanges, regulators, and market participants navigating the next phase of multi-asset trading infrastructure.

This pioneering product allows users to trade tokenised traditional assets, starting with selected RWA products including TSLAUSDT (RWA), NVDAUSDT (RWA), and CRCLUSDT (RWA).

The RWA Index Perpetual Contract is built on a composite of tokenised stock indices already circulating in the market. Each index contains one or more RWA tokens to track prices from different third-party issuers. 

For example, the AAPL RWA Index Perpetual Contract may represent a composite of AAPL tokens issued by a couple of different third-party issuers.

Similar to how existing crypto perpetual contracts derive their index prices from multiple major crypto exchanges, Bitget’s innovative RWA Index Perpetual Contract can dynamically add or remove index sources depending on measurable factors such as market activity, trading volume, and liquidity conditions. 

Bitget may adjust and disclose the index weighting from time to time. This approach guarantees both flexibility and fairness in pricing.

To maintain fair pricing and risk management, the RWA Index Perpetual Contracts will be traded on a 5X24 schedule, closing on weekends and stock market holidays. 

During closure periods, the market price will remain frozen to prevent liquidation; however, users may choose to add margin in anticipation of sharp market moves upon reopening. 

Order cancellations will be allowed during these closures, while new orders will not be accepted. Funding fees will also pause during market closures, with settlement resuming on an hourly cycle when trading is active.

In terms of trading experience, the Bitget RWA Index perpetual contracts share the same mechanics and liquidation process as existing crypto perpetual contracts, reducing the learning curve for users.

To mitigate early-stage risks, Bitget will cap leverage at 10x, support only isolated margin mode, and apply open interest position limits across the platform.

“Bitget thrives on innovation that stems from the emerging cryptospace,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “With the world’s first RWA Index Perpetual Contract, we are slowly transitioning into a comprehensive ecosystem of all things finance.

“This product shows the platform’s advancement as compared to other players, as it enables traders with exposure to a modern and traditional range of asset classes, bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.”

At launch, Bitget’ s index pricing will draw from stock tokens issued on the xStocks platform, with plans to onboard additional trusted issuers in the near future. Support for a broader range of RWA perpetual contracts on Bitget Futures is also scheduled for later this quarter.
