Global, September 16, 2026 — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has expanded its Open API infrastructure to support Contracts for Difference (CFDs), giving quantitative, algorithmic and API traders programmatic access to global markets including gold, forex, stock indices and crude oil alongside crypto.
The expansion addresses a practical challenge for multi-asset traders, where strategies operating across crypto and traditional markets often rely on separate systems, data flows and execution workflows. Existing Bitget API users can now extend their strategy frameworks into CFD markets without building a separate connection for those assets, bringing more of their research, monitoring and execution into the same API environment.
Through the CFD Open API, users can automate order execution, access account and real-time market data, transfer funds, and manage trading parameters including take-profit and stop-loss settings. This enables API users to manage programmatic strategies across crypto and CFD markets through Bitget’s broader trading infrastructure.
“Adding more markets is only one part of building UEX. Traders also need the infrastructure to interact with those markets in the way they already work,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Multi-asset trading is about giving traders the tools to interact with those markets in the way that works for them. By extending API access to CFDs, we are enabling developers, quantitative traders, and other API users to incorporate global markets into the systems and strategies they already use.”
CFD Open API supports multiple CFD account modes. When placing orders, users are required to use the instrument code corresponding to their current CFD account configuration.
The API expansion comes as Bitget increases its investment in infrastructure for professional and institutional trading, as the platform continues to broaden access beyond crypto. By extending API connectivity alongside its growing multi-asset offering, Bitget is building an ecosystem where users can access and manage crypto and traditional-market exposure through a more unified trading experience.
