Sign InIn a move reflecting the accelerating integration between digital assets and traditional finance, Bitget has launched USDT-settled quanto perpetual futures to provide traders with access to global stocks. According to reports, these contracts allow for the settlement of positions using USDT, offering crypto-native investors a direct way to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated equities. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between traditional and digital markets by enabling 24/7 trading of stock-linked products.
This expansion comes as major exchanges seek to bolster their offerings; peers like Binance and OKX have previously introduced similar tools to link traditional assets with digital wallets. Per market data, providing access to stocks without the need for foreign exchange (FX) conversion reduces friction costs for international traders. Experts suggest that these types of derivatives enhance liquidity within the hybrid finance sector, especially as demand for cross-asset hedging continues to grow.
Looking ahead, market participants will monitor how recent US inflation data impacts risk appetite, with the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) hitting 3.5% as of July 14, 2026. While specific instrument price data is currently unavailable, traders are looking toward upcoming Fed official speeches to gauge monetary policy directions that could influence the valuations of the global stocks accessible via Bitget’s new platform.
Update: Bitget has strengthened its technical capabilities by integrating the Siebly.io SDK, providing algorithmic traders with faster access to spot and futures systems. This move aims to improve execution efficiency and copy trading through an enhanced market data infrastructure.
Update: The exchange has officially debuted its first contract under the ticker MINIMAXHKDUSDT, tracking the Hong Kong-listed AI firm MiniMax. According to official reports, these new contracts offer traders leverage of up to 20x exclusively on the Bitget platform, significantly increasing flexibility for investors looking to trade tech equities.
