Bitget, the Universal Exchange (UEX), achieved US stock-linked futures trading of over $300 million.
Moreover, global volume doubled in just two weeks, signalling rapid adoption by crypto users.
Consequently, users fund accounts in USDT and easily switch between crypto and stock-linked markets.
“Crossing $1 billion quickly shows traders embrace stock futures as part of a unified experience,” said CEO of Bitget, Gracy Chen.
Furthermore, she added, “This development shows the line between traditional markets and digital assets disappearing.”

Initially, Bitget launched USDT-margined perpetual futures on 25 US stocks, including Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft.
Later, the exchange added contracts such as NFLXUSDT, JDUSDT, and QQQUSDT for broader exposure.
Thus, the product targets traders wanting stock exposure with a 24/7 crypto-style trading interface.
Bitget’s Universal Exchange combines crypto, tokenised, and stock-linked markets in a single platform.
This model especially benefits traders, including Africans, who convert local fiat to USDT via P2P.
Consequently, stock-linked futures allow them to trade Apple, Nvidia, or Tesla without leaving the app.
In short, one app provides multiple markets, eliminates brokers, avoids spreads, and reuses the same USDT.

Trading Mechanics And Risks
Chen explained, “Perpetual stock futures track US equities but do not grant shares or dividends.”
Furthermore, users can go long or short with defined margin, low fees, and up to 25x leverage.
Trading remains available 24/7, unlike the traditional US stock market timetable.
Moreover, African users fund via P2P, trade in USDT, and convert back to local fiat easily.
Simultaneously, trading occurs alongside BTC, ETH, SOL, and DOGE, while following trending US tech names online.
Bitget linked this activity to the AI-driven equities rally and a strong US earnings season.
Therefore, a single app reduces platform switching and allows users to leverage USDT across strategies.
Chen highlighted the UEX idea, which combines centralised, decentralised, and tokenised markets on one platform.
For instance, traders can long NVIDIA or short Apple to express price views, not own shares.
However, leverage magnifies gains and losses; derivatives provide no voting rights or dividends.
Finally, 24/7 trading may create gaps versus US markets; prices remain highly volatile.
Bitget advises traders to understand risks, volatility, and seek independent financial guidance.
