Bitget said it has adopted official Nasdaq market data for the infrastructure supporting its US-equities-related products, describing the change as an upgrade for professional users while emphasizing that it affects market data only and does not create a new way to trade stocks on the platform.

The exchange announced the change on September 10, 2026, saying it had replaced third-party aggregated feeds with official Nasdaq market data across the systems supporting those products, according to a Bitget blog post. Bitget said it supplements the Nasdaq feed with its own monitoring, validation and anomaly controls.

What the announcement establishes

Bitget said the upgrade applies specifically to market data and does not change how orders are matched or executed on the exchange. It explicitly stated that trades are not executed or settled directly through Nasdaq.

That distinction is significant because “official” describes the source of price information, not a trading venue. The announcement does not establish a Nasdaq listing or securities-trading access for Bitget users and should not be interpreted as doing so.

Bitget also did not specify which Nasdaq product it licensed. Nasdaq offers several equity-data feeds, including Nasdaq Basic for real-time best bid, offer and last-sale information; Nasdaq Last Sale for last-sale data and consolidated volume; and Nasdaq TotalView for full order-book depth, according to Nasdaq’s product documentation. Without a named feed, the announcement does not establish the delivery format, order-book depth, real-time availability or specific securities coverage.

Bitget said the upgrade is intended to support periods such as the US market open, earnings announcements and major macroeconomic releases. These are stated intended benefits rather than independently measured results.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, linked the change to the exchange’s institutional ambitions. “Official Nasdaq market data gives our users a more reliable view of US equity markets while strengthening the foundation for professional and institutional participation,” she said in the release.

Bitget’s social-media post made a broader first-mover claim. That assertion remains uncorroborated and is presented as an issuer statement rather than an established fact:

Bitget is the first crypto exchange to adopt official Nasdaq market data, bringing exchange-sourced US equity market information directly into the institutional-grade market infrastructure.

The exchange said users do not need to take any action to access the upgraded market-data infrastructure. Bitget also described the integration as providing more accurate, stable and dependable data, although the release disclosed no latency, uptime or before-and-after benchmarks supporting those intended benefits.

Details that remain unclear

The supplied announcement material does not specify exactly where the data will appear across Bitget’s products, when it will become available, which users can access it or whether access will carry a cost. These details may be absent from the supplied material rather than necessarily undisclosed by Bitget. Those points, along with the specific Nasdaq feed and any independently reported performance measures, are the main details to watch when assessing the integration’s practical scope.

No evidence of measured user outcomes was provided. As a result, claims involving improved execution, lower trading costs or new stock-trading capabilities are not supported. Bitget’s explicit distinction between market data and trade execution makes that limitation particularly relevant.

The announcement comes as exchanges continue exploring connections between crypto platforms and equity-related products. Bitget was among the venues that recently cancelled tokenized SpaceX IPO allocations. OKX has moved to offer pre-IPO access in Europe, while Backpack has brought more tokenized stocks live on Solana. Nasdaq has also entered crypto-adjacent markets through a partnership with Polymarket to list private-company contracts.

As market context, Bitget Token (BGB) traded at US$1.97, down about 1.28% over 24 hours, with a market capitalization near US$1.38 billion and 24-hour volume of approximately US$9.96 million at the time of the snapshot, according to CoinGecko. The move cannot be attributed to Bitget’s Nasdaq data announcement.

Broader crypto sentiment was described as optimistic, with the Fear & Greed Index at 69, in “Greed” territory. The index measures overall market mood and does not indicate a specific reaction to Bitget’s data upgrade, according to Alternative.me.
