Bitget has launched a new avenue into the traditional financial landscape by launching the trading of US stocks. The launch will enable those who are eligible to trade US-listed stock options on the same platform that they currently use to access cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, forex and indices, commodities, and contracts for difference (CFDs). The launch makes Bitget the only significant cryptocurrency exchange to provide all these asset classes in one place.
Bitget Reveals New Trading Opportunities For Users
The service is new and it currently offers the possibility of executing long call and long put strategies. Long calls are used to bet on an increase in the price of a stock and long puts are used to benefit from a decrease or to act as a hedge in case the stock they own goes down. The maximum loss to the buyer is the premium paid, but a contract may go bust if market expectations are not met.
The new offering further enhances Bitget’s Stock+ platform, which already consists of tokenized stocks and access to some pre-IPO opportunities. The listing of the stock options provides the exchange with additional tools for traders to profit from earnings announcements, market volatility and risk management strategies.
Growing Demand for Options Trading
Moreover, the expansion is in line with the increasing popularity of options trading in the United States. According to industry data, in 2025, over 15.2 billion options contracts were active. Further, it boasts an average of almost 60 million contracts traded per day.
The increased activity has been driven by increased participation by retail and institutional investors. It comprises activity both for speculation and for hedging and portfolio management purposes.
“We have consistently moved first to connect stock opportunities with our users,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. She added: “This has been rewarding to us and users alike. From tokenized stocks to now options, we are executing on convergence. This is innovation crypto was born to push, our products are way ahead of its time in providing advanced trading access to stocks, gold, crypto and worldwide assets.”
Bitget stated that more sophisticated multi-leg options strategies will be added in the coming days. Eligible users who place their first stock options trade in the United States can get $15 worth of NVIDIA stock, subject to availability and promotions.
