Bitget and BlockSec Introduce the UEX Security Standard, Setting a New Benchmark for Universal Exchanges
Bitget, in collaboration with BlockSec, has introduced the UEX Security Standard, a comprehensive framework aimed at enhancing security for Universal Exchanges that operate across various asset classes. This new standard addresses evolving security challenges by implementing continuous, verifiable resilience and defining five core benchmarks for exchange security, which are crucial as trading platforms become more complex. The initiative reflects a proactive approach to risk management in the crypto space, potentially boosting user trust and platform integrity.
Victoria, Seychelles, February 9, 2026 — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced the release of The UEX Security Standard: From Proof to Protection, a joint research report authored with blockchain security firm BlockSec. The report outlines a system-level security framework designed for exchanges operating across crypto, tokenized assets, and traditional financial markets within unified account environments. As trading platforms evolve into Universal Exchanges, first coined by Bitget CEO Gracy Chen at its 7th year anniversary, security challenges extend beyond single-asset custody and on-chain safeguards. Unified margin systems, shared settlement infrastructure, and cross-market access introduce new risks, with failures at the account, data, or permission layer capable of rippling across products and asset classes. The report addresses these challenges by shifting the security conversation from isolated controls toward continuous, verifiable resilience. The UEX Security Standard defines five core benchmarks for the next generation of exchange security: verifiable solvency, multi-asset risk isolation, data security and privacy protection, AI-driven dynamic monitoring, and resilient application and infrastructure defense. Together, these standards aim to ensure that risks can be contained, correctness can be verified, and trust can scale alongside platform complexity. The framework is grounded in measurable safeguards already in place at Bitget, including a regular Proof of Reserves reporting and a strong Protection Fund. These measures are reinforced through collaboration with BlockSec, spanning real-time monitoring, offensive security testing, incident response readiness, and compliance-grade controls such as AML screening and fund tracing. “The transition to Universal Exchanges changes the nature of security risk,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Security can no longer focus on individual assets or reactive disclosure. It must ope...
