Bitget: Enables Stablecoin US Stock Options Trading

Bitget rolled out stablecoin settlement for US equity options, marking the first time traders can execute calls and puts on names like TSLA, NVDA, AAPL and SPY directly inside the app without fiat rails. The feature arrived on 2 July 2026 and immediately drew attention from crypto-native users seeking 24/7 access to traditional derivatives. Steps include selecting the underlying, opening the options chain, choosing expiration and strike, then paying 100 percent premium upfront with no leverage on long positions. Key metrics to monitor remain direction, implied volatility crush after events, theta decay and bid-ask spreads on high-volume strikes. The integration completes Bitget’s push to merge crypto liquidity with equity option flow and positions the exchange alongside platforms already offering similar products.
