BG now supports US stock options trading—another investment channel unlocked! Bitget has rolled out trading for over 540 stock options, covering individual stocks from major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, as well as popular ETFs. More options will gradually be added. The biggest perk? Zero commission for all users! Just update your app to version 2.87.0 to try it out. Trading hours align with the US stock market, and it supports limit orders, market orders, and conditional orders. Plus, there’s a profit/loss estimate before placing an order, making the experience more user-friendly than expected. Currently, it mainly supports buying call/put options, which is great for hedging risks or executing directional strategies. What really catches my attention is Bitget’s consistent innovation in US stock products. From being the first to support tokenized stocks, to becoming the first mainstream CEX to launch Pre-IPO trading, then upgrading to US Stocks 2.0 with rToken, and now being the first to introduce stock options trading. They’re steadily building out their product ecosystem. If they continue to excel in liquidity, capital efficiency, and compliance, Bitget could very well become one of the most comprehensive and efficient platforms for crypto users to trade US stock assets. For us retail investors, options provide a practical tool: they can amplify capital efficiency with leverage, hedge portfolio risks, and enable more flexible asset allocation. Being able to complete the full cycle from stocks to options using stablecoins on a crypto platform feels like a key piece of the US stock trading puzzle has been added. Of course, options come with risks. Newbies especially should take the time to understand concepts like premiums, time value, and implied volatility. If you’re interested, give it a try!
