Bitget Launches U.S. Stock Perpetual Futures With Up to 25x Leverage

Crypto exchange Bitget has rolled out perpetual futures contracts for 25 leading U.S. stocks, expanding its product suite beyond digital assets.

The launch allows traders to gain leveraged exposure to companies like Tesla, Apple, Nvidia, and Amazon directly on the platform.

Stock futures meet crypto-style trading

According to Bitget, the new instruments support up to 25x leverage, operate 24/5 to match stock market hours, and feature transaction fees as low as 0.06%. Settlement occurs in USDT, creating a seamless bridge between traditional equity markets and crypto-style derivatives trading.

The supported lineup spans major tech and internet firms, including Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), and Coinbase (COIN), alongside semiconductor leaders like Nvidia (NVDA) and ASML. The contracts also cover industrial names such as GE Aerospace, consumer giant McDonald’s, and alternative assets like iShares Silver Trust.

Positioning for crossover traders

Bitget’s move reflects a broader trend of exchanges integrating tokenized or perpetual equity products, offering retail and institutional traders a single venue for stocks and crypto exposure. By anchoring settlement in stablecoins, the exchange reduces complexity for users accustomed to crypto-native markets.

The feature could appeal to crossover traders looking to hedge or speculate across multiple asset classes without leaving the crypto ecosystem. With equity volatility rising ahead of U.S. earnings season, the timing of Bitget’s launch may spark significant adoption.
