In recent years, in the U.S. stock market, options trading volume has far surpassed that of regular stocks, becoming one of the key factors driving stock price movements. Similarly, in recent years, contract trading volume in the crypto market has far exceeded spot trading volume. Just saw that Bitget launched U.S. stock options trading a couple of days ago—looks like it’s the first mainstream CEX to roll out U.S. stock options trading. This time, Bitget directly opened up trading for 540+ options, covering individual stocks from major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, as well as popular ETFs. They’ll continue to add more options in the future. From now on, you can trade U.S. stock options directly on Bitget, which is super convenient for crypto market users. Gotta say, when it comes to embracing U.S. stock trading, Bitget seems to be the earliest and fastest mover. Starting last year, they were the first to launch tokenized stocks, the first Pre-IPO channel, rToken upgrades, and now the first to roll out options. Step by step, they’re bringing all U.S. stock asset types and trading experiences onto a crypto platform.
