Bitget, one of the biggest names in crypto trading, has announced a new partnership with Hummingbot Foundation, the open-source platform that helps anyone run automated trading bots. Together, they’re rolling out a new bitget_perpetual connector, making it easier than ever for traders to run market-making, arbitrage, and derivatives strategies directly on Bitget all without needing to code from scratch.
Bringing Open-Source Power to Perpetuals
For years, algorithmic trading has mostly been a game for pros with technical skills and deep pockets. This partnership aims to change that. With Hummingbot’s plug-and-play framework and Bitget’s deep liquidity, traders everywhere can now automate their strategies in a reliable, transparent, and affordable way.
The new connector is fully supported and maintained, so users don’t need to worry about constant API updates or connection issues. It’s designed to give traders a smoother experience and tighter spreads, while strengthening the overall health of Bitget’s markets.
“We believe open-source algorithmic trading is key for crypto to really mature,” said Michael Feng, Co-Founder and Board Member at Hummingbot Foundation. “Partnering with Bitget brings our community access to high-quality infrastructure and helps raise the bar for liquidity and execution across the industry.”
“Bitget’s goal has always been to make professional-grade tools available to everyone,” added Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Working with Hummingbot means we can empower more traders to experiment, automate, and innovate not just institutions.”
Part of Bitget’s Bigger UEX Vision
The collaboration is part of Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) vision a long-term plan to connect centralized and decentralized liquidity under one roof. Open-source partnerships like this one fit perfectly into that framework, giving traders more ways to access multiple markets and products through a single account.
Next up, Bitget and Hummingbot plan to co-host community hackathons, strategy bounties, and educational programs to encourage innovation and collaboration among algo traders worldwide.
