Bitget has made AI a core strategic pillar of its Universal Exchange (UEX) model. Rather than releasing AI as a standalone chatbot or trading tool, Bitget has built a broader product stack that applies AI to market analysis, trading workflows, developer infrastructure, and platform engagement.
Bitget’s AI Stack consists of four layers: GetAgent (analytics), Agent Hub (infrastructure), GetClaw (execution), and Gracy AI (strategic interface), all integrated within Bitget’s centralized exchange environment.
GetClaw extends the stack into autonomous execution by allowing users to define trading tasks in natural language and delegate monitoring and execution within Bitget’s platform. It represents Bitget’s primary consumer-facing implementation of agent-based trading.
Agent Hub provides the infrastructure layer that connects AI models directly to exchange-native trading functions. Through support for MCP, APIs, Skills, and CLI-based access, it enables programmatic interaction with market data, accounts, and execution systems.
GetAgent has surpassed 450,000 users, while Gracy AI reached more than 460,000 users and processed over 2.6 million replies within weeks of launch. These early adoption metrics demonstrate the strong demand for AI-native trading interfaces.

Kite’s mainnet is live, transitioning from testnet to its own blockchain tailor-made for agentic payments.
Mainnet’s first product is Kite Agent Passport, a programmable wallet and identity system designed for AI agents. Kite Agent Passport lets your AI agent spend money on your behalf while you stay in control by setting the rules, limits, and who it can pay. Passport enables your agents to access funds and pay for e-commerce and services across any LLM (like Claude).
Kite enters mainnet with a broad launch partner roster spanning stablecoins, wallets, bridging, commerce, and identity. Partners include Google (AP2), PayPal (PYUSD), Avalanche, Coinbase (x402 integration), and more.
Kite serves as a unified hub for different payment standards, including Coinbase, Google, Stripe, and Visa, each of which has backed different agent payment standards, and Stripe’s Tempo has also launched a payments-focused Layer-1. Those efforts each target a single layer of the stack: a protocol standard, a wallet, or a chain. Kite bundles all three into one vertically integrated system.
KITE has outperformed amid broader market volatility, breaking into CoinMarketCap’s top 100 and climbing to a top-7 position on Upbit as agentic commerce gains traction, with KITE emerging as a beneficiary of that narrative.
