The cryptocurrency exchange, Bitget, has announced the launch of U.S. stock options, enabling users to engage in trading options on companies listed in the United States.
In a communication to Bitcoin Magazine, the company characterized itself as the world’s largest Universal Exchange and asserted that it is the sole significant cryptocurrency exchange providing U.S. stock options, alongside markets for cryptocurrencies and contracts for differences in gold, forex, commodities, and indices.
The initial offering introduces long call and long put strategies for qualifying users. A call option permits a trader to adopt a bullish stance on a stock, whereas a put option offers the opportunity to take a bearish position or manage downside risk.
Buyers’ risk is confined to the premium paid, and it is worth noting that an option may expire worthless if the anticipated price movement fails to materialize.
This launch is part of Bitget’s effort to broaden its stock product lineup.
Prior to this release, the company offered tokenized stocks and pre-IPO access to private market opportunities. The introduction of stock options enhances the Stock+ offering, which is positioned as a venue for direct access to U.S. equities, tailored for traders familiar with conventional stock market products and regulatory frameworks.
Bitget emphasized that this addition aligns with its objective of integrating cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, and various other assets within a singular trading environment.
Bitget: The U.S. Options Market is Experiencing Growth
The demand for listed options has reached unprecedented levels. In 2025, the U.S. options market processed over 15.2 billion contracts, averaging approximately 60 million contracts per trading day. These figures suggest increased participation in options trading among both retail and institutional investors for purposes such as directional trading, hedging, and capital management.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated, “We have taken the initiative to connect stock opportunities with our users. From tokenized stocks to now options, we are actively pursuing convergence. Our products offer advanced trading access to stocks, gold, cryptocurrencies, and global assets.”
The initial release is concentrated on single-leg options buying to provide users with an accessible entry point. The company intends to introduce additional features, including multi-leg strategies, as the Stock+ options product evolves.
To promote the launch, eligible users who complete their first U.S. stock options trade may receive $15 in NVIDIA stock, subject to campaign terms and regional availability.
Bitget claims to serve over 125 million users and provides access to more than two million cryptocurrency tokens, alongside over 500 tokenized stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), commodities, foreign exchange, and precious metals, including gold.
The company has established partnerships with MotoGP and UNICEF, the latter aiming to facilitate blockchain education for 1.1 million individuals by 2027. Bitget asserts its leadership in the tokenized traditional finance market across 150 regions.
