Crypto is still the core asset for Bitget users, yet the portfolio around it is expanding. This shift echoes a wider market trend, where AI-linked finance and tokenized access are becoming part of the crypto narrative.

According to Bitget, 86% of surveyed users hold crypto assets, while 52% now hold equities alongside crypto and 51% already use AI tools to support investment decisions.

That detail matters. It does not mean retail investors are leaving digital assets. It means they are refusing to trade with tunnel vision. Bitcoin, Ethereum, stocks, gold, macro signals, and AI models now sit on the same screen.

Regional patterns make this clearer. In East Asia, users point to currency conversion and account-opening barriers. In Latin America, the focus is inflation and currency depreciation. The same product therefore answers different problems depending on the local economy.

Bitget’s report captures a larger transformation. The crypto investor of 2026 is not disappearing into Wall Street. He is bringing Wall Street, commodities, stablecoins, and AI into a crypto-native toolbox.

This also explains why the Universal Exchange model is gaining traction. Retail traders want one account, fast execution, stablecoin settlement, broader asset access, and decision tools that keep pace with global markets. The exchange is no longer just a place to buy tokens. It is becoming a financial cockpit.

The trend also connects with a broader question already visible in the market: AI agents could become a new engine for crypto adoption. If that thesis holds, the next retail trading battle will not be won only by the platform with the most assets. It will be won by the one that helps users understand them faster.
