Bitget has announced a major new partnership with blockchain security company BlockSec to create the UEX Security Standard, which will be the first benchmark by which we can measure how secure both physical and digital financial assets are. This new standard draws on the notion that as digital assets expand, cybercrime evolves to become more complicated, requiring not only disclosures but also system-wide resilience.
By working together, Bitget and BlockSec want to develop progressive new standards for how to protect users and provide institutional grade levels of protection across crypto and traditional finance.
A New Benchmark for Resilience – The Five Core Standards
The UEX security standard consists of five key pillars intended to provide an overall security solution. The first pillar is asset protection by designing an architecture that restricts illegal access and prohibits unauthorized usage of the assets. The next pillar is multi-asset risk isolation, which protects each asset classification from having its vulnerabilities cause the failure of the entire ecosystem.
Additionally, the framework focuses on Data Security and Privacy Protection through enhanced encryption technologies. The remaining two pillars emphasize on the technical environment by securing Applications, the Cloud and the Infrastructure to secure Servers and by developing AI-Driven Security and using Responsible AI.
AI-Driven Security uses Machine Learning to monitor anomalies in real-time while adhering to high standards for ethical deployment. The combination of these five areas will allow Bitget to move from a reactivity-based environment to a proactivity-based environment in order to eliminate threats prior to reaching a user.
The 2026 Security Standards Report
In conjunction with the launch of the UEX Security Standards Report 2026, Bitget provides transparency and insight into the efficacy of each of these new safeguards through this report that details how they have been processed by Bitget (8,000+) and how they were addressed (more than 2,000).
Most importantly, the report shows a 163% Proof-of-Reserve ratio, providing a strong indicator of being well capitalized in an environment where many feel like retail and institutional players question the future viability of many companies based on their ability to provide proof of solvency. Developing reserves above 100% creates a tremendous amount of confidence for investors needing to bridge the trust gap between DeFi and the bracing, traditional oversight standards that other Fintech firms provide as part of their strict governance and compliance standards.
Bridging the Gap Between Crypto and TradFi
Working together with BlockSec has proven to be a very wise decision on the part of the exchange. BlockSec is known for being a leading expert in conducting smart contract audits as well as providing comprehensive security audits of blockchain networks. The BlockSec team regularly provides critical information about weaknesses found within decentralized finance platforms.
Recent industry security analysis performed by Chainalysis states that crypto hacks continue to be more sophisticated, with very specific targeting. The nature of this type of sophistication requires the entire assurance of total system resilience that the UEX standard is designed to provide.
Conclusion
The UEX Security Standard launch represents great progress in supporting Bitget’s vision of a secure trading ecosystem. Using BlockSec as a partner to create an innovative framework for future financial security, Bitget is not just meeting a compliance requirement – they’re establishing the foundations of regulation on which the next phase of economic growth will take place as the evolution between cryptocurrency and traditional currencies continues to converge.
