Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget on April 2, 2026, launched dedicated accounts for its artificial intelligence agent, GetClaw, enabling it to execute trades autonomously within live markets around the clock.

"This move represents a structural shift from traditional AI-assisted trading toward fully automated market participation," a Bitget spokesperson said. "We are positioning Bitget as a frontrunner in next-generation exchange infrastructure by giving our AI agent direct market access."

The introduction of standalone AI accounts means the GetClaw agent is no longer just a tool for suggesting trades but is an active participant executing its own strategies. This separates it from the AI-powered assistance tools offered by competitors, which still require manual confirmation from the user.

The innovation could attract a new wave of users and increase trading volume on Bitget, particularly from traders who rely on automated strategies. The move puts pressure on other major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase to accelerate their own development of fully autonomous AI trading features, potentially acting as a positive catalyst for Bitget's native ecosystem and its BGB token.
