BIT Brokerage Launches U.S. Stock Options Trading with Competitive Fees
BIT Brokerage has launched U.S. stock options trading, offering zero-commission trades and a per-contract fee below the market average, with a phased rollout of services.
GELEPHU MINDFULNESS CITY, Bhutan – BIT Brokerage announced on Wednesday its official launch of U.S. stock options trading. The new service includes zero-commission trading on both buy and sell orders as a standard feature. The platform fee is set at a competitive $0.30 per contract, approximately half the market average charged by major retail brokerages. The minimum transaction fee is $0.99 per order.
The introduction of options trading follows BIT Brokerage's earlier expansion into equity derivatives with its U.S. margin trading services. The initial phase of the options offering will cover approximately 2,000 U.S. equities, focusing exclusively on options buying strategies – long calls and long puts. Options selling will not be available during this initial launch.
BIT Brokerage intends to progressively expand its options ecosystem to include options selling and complex trading strategies in the future. The company stated that decisions on further development will depend on market conditions, user demand, and validation of risk control systems. Options trading involves risk and may result in the loss of the entire premium paid.
The brokerage aims to provide global investors with a comprehensive U.S. stock investment service. BIT Brokerage offers trading in over 10,000 listed U.S. stocks and ETFs. The platform also supports deposits and withdrawals in stablecoins (USDT/USDC) alongside traditional USD wire transfers.
