Bitget TradFi: when a crypto exchange opens the door to traditional CFD trading (Forex, gold, oil, US stocks)

I often come across discussions about the crypto–TradFi convergence, and recently I stumbled upon something that genuinely caught my attention: Bitget is launching a private beta product called Bitget TradFi.

In short, it allows users to trade traditional assets, such as major Forex pairs, gold (XAU/USD), crude oil, global indices, and even US stocks via CFDs, using USDT as margin, without opening an account with a traditional broker.

A few points that stood out to me:

Leverage up to 500x (yes, that’s very high…),

Very low fees (around $0.09 per lot for some instruments),

Smooth integration with existing crypto tools (copy trading, etc.),

A limited beta phase (invite-only for now), with an official launch planned for Q1 2026.

I find the idea interesting. On one hand, it could attract crypto traders who want to diversify into traditional markets without leaving their platform. On the other hand, it raises legitimate questions around regulation, execution reliability, and the risks associated with such high leverage.

Has anyone here already had access to the beta, or tested similar products offered by other exchanges?
Do you think this could meaningfully change how we view hybrid crypto/TradFi trading, or is it just another short-lived gimmick?

Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences.
