Bitget Adds US Stock Options Trading to Expanded Stock+ Platform

Bitget has expanded its Stock+ platform to include US stock options trading for eligible users. The Seychelles-based crypto exchange initially launched this feature on July 2, 2026, allowing users to take directional exposure or manage downside risk through long call and long put positions.

The initial release focuses on single-leg options buying, with more advanced multi-leg strategies planned for future updates. Users' risk is limited to the premium paid, though contracts may expire without value if expected price moves do not materialize.

Bitget cited the growth in demand for listed options as a reason for the rollout, noting that the US options market processed over 15.2 billion contracts in 2025, averaging roughly 60 million contracts per trading day.

'From tokenized stocks to now options, we are executing on convergence,' Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said. 'This is innovation crypto was born to push.'
