Bitget said it has adopted official Nasdaq market data to power the infrastructure behind its US-equities-related products, a move the exchange frames as an upgrade for professional users while stressing that the change touches data only and does not create any new way to trade stocks on the platform.
The exchange announced on September 10, 2026 that it replaced third-party aggregated feeds with official Nasdaq market data across the systems supporting its US-equities-related products, according to a Bitget blog post. Bitget said it supplements the Nasdaq feed with its own monitoring, validation and anomaly controls. For related coverage, see OKX Launches Smart Portfolio With Automatic Rebalancing.
The bull framing is straightforward: cleaner, exchange-sourced data. The bear counterpoint is equally clear from the release itself, which draws a firm line between market information and trade execution, leaving several practical rollout questions unanswered in the material Bitget published.
What the Nasdaq market data announcement establishes
The upgrade applies specifically to market data and does not change how orders are matched or executed on Bitget, the exchange said. Bitget explicitly stated that trades are not executed or settled directly through Nasdaq.
That boundary matters because “official” describes the source of the price information, not a trading venue. The announcement does not establish a Nasdaq listing or securities trading access for Bitget users, and it should not be read as one.
Bitget also did not specify which Nasdaq product it licensed. Nasdaq sells distinct 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, per Nasdaq’s product documentation. Without a named feed, real-time delivery, order-book depth and specific securities coverage cannot be inferred from the word “official.”
Bitget said the upgrade is designed to support periods such as the US market open, earnings announcements and major macroeconomic releases. Those are stated intended benefits, not independently measured outcomes.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, tied the change to 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 own social post went further, claiming a first-mover position. That claim remains uncorroborated and is presented here as an issuer statement rather than established fact.

The exchange said users need take no action to access the upgraded market-data infrastructure. Bitget also frames the integration as producing more accurate, stable and dependable data, though the release disclosed no latency, uptime or before-and-after benchmarks to support that intended benefit.
What remains unclear for Bitget users
Several practical details are absent from the supplied announcement material rather than necessarily undisclosed by Bitget. These include exactly where the data will appear across Bitget’s products, when it becomes available, which users can access it and whether access carries any cost.
No evidence of measured user outcomes was provided, so claims of improved execution, lower trading costs or new stock-trading capabilities are not supported. The line Bitget drew around execution and settlement makes that caution especially relevant.
For readers tracking how exchanges are edging toward equities exposure, the context is active. Bitget was among the venues that recently cancelled tokenized SpaceX IPO allocations, while rivals such as OKX have moved to offer pre-IPO access in Europe and Backpack has brought more tokenized stocks live on Solana. Nasdaq itself has also stepped into crypto-adjacent markets, partnering 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 around US$9.96 million as of the snapshot. That move cannot be attributed to the announcement.

Broader crypto sentiment leaned optimistic, with the Fear & Greed Index reading 69, in “Greed” territory. That gauge measures the overall market mood, not any specific reaction to Bitget’s data upgrade.
