• Initial features support long calls and long puts, with buyer risk limited to premiums paid.
• Bitget said future updates will add advanced multi-leg options strategies for active traders later users.

Bitget has launched US stock options trading, adding another traditional market product to its Stock+ lineup for eligible users.

The exchange said the launch gives users direct access to options linked to leading US-listed companies, alongside crypto, tokenized stocks, CFDs, gold, forex, commodities, and indices.

Bitget described the product as the crypto industry’s first US stock options trading service offered by a major crypto exchange within a multi-asset platform.

The rollout begins with long call and long put strategies, while more advanced multi-leg options features are expected to be added in later product updates.

Bitget Expands Stock+ With US Options

Bitget said the new product allows eligible users to trade options on selected US-listed companies through its Stock+ offering. The exchange has been expanding beyond crypto spot and derivatives markets by adding products connected to equities and other traditional assets.

The initial launch supports long calls and long puts, which are commonly used to express bullish or bearish market views. For buyers, risk is limited to the premium paid, although the contract can expire without value when the expected price move does not occur.

The product is being positioned as part of Bitget’s wider Universal Exchange model. That model brings crypto, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, indices, and other tradable assets into one trading environment.

Stock Options Add Wall Street Access

US stock options are widely used by retail and institutional traders for directional trades, hedging, and portfolio management. According to the data provided, the US options market processed more than 15.2 billion contracts in 2025, equal to about 60 million contracts per trading day.

Bitget said the options launch follows earlier moves into tokenized stocks and pre-IPO market access. The addition gives Stock+ users another product tied to traditional financial markets while keeping it inside a crypto-focused platform.

The exchange also announced a launch campaign linked to the new service. Eligible users who complete their first US stock options trade may receive $15 worth of NVIDIA stock, subject to campaign terms and regional availability.

Bitget Links Crypto and Traditional Markets

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the company has worked to connect stock opportunities with its users, moving from tokenized stocks to options as part of its broader product strategy. The statement presented the options launch as part of a continued effort to combine access to crypto and traditional assets.

The exchange said additional functionality will be introduced as the Stock+ options product develops. Planned updates include more advanced multi-leg strategies, which are commonly used by experienced options traders for structured positions.

The launch places Bitget among crypto trading platforms expanding into products beyond digital assets. Its Stock+ product now includes access to tokenized stocks, US stock options, crypto markets, CFDs, gold, forex, commodities, and indices for eligible users.

Bitget said it is offering the product through a direct-access venue built for users familiar with traditional stock market instruments. The company has framed the launch as part of its goal to provide a broader trading environment across crypto and global market products.
