BIT has officially launched a securities lending and short selling function for U.S. stocks, following the recent rollout of margin financing trading. The company said the upgrade makes BIT one of the few platforms in the industry operating under a real U.S. equities framework that can support margin financing, securities lending for short selling, and options preparation at the same time.
Elio Cui, head of BIT Brokerage, said the product roadmap was built from the outset to mirror a full traditional brokerage investing experience. He said users can manage long and short positioning and hedging within a single account, aiming for higher capital efficiency across different market cycles.
Under the new feature, BIT margin account users who meet the initial margin requirement can short designated U.S. stocks through securities lending. The platform said it will update key risk control indicators in real time, including margin ratios, borrowing interest rates, and available securities lending pool quotas. Alongside the launch, BIT Brokerage has also introduced a limited-time zero-fee campaign, with terms and conditions applying. Further details are available through BIT’s U.S. stocks channel on X.

Our product plan was designed from the start to match a complete traditional brokerage investment experience. Within the same account, users can switch between long and short allocations and hedging strategies with greater capital efficiency across different market cycles.”
