Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of zero maker fees and ultra-low taker fees for its stock perpetuals and precious metal perpetuals, effective from February 10 through April 30, 2026. This move positions Bitget as the lowest-cost venue in the market while offering one of the broadest selections of stock and metal perps.
Fee Reduction Details
Under the new pricing structure, maker fees for stock perpetuals have been reduced from 0.02% to zero, while taker fees have been lowered from 0.06% to as low as 0.0065%. For precious metal perpetuals, including gold-linked contracts, maker fees have also been set to zero, with taker fees discounted by up to 70%, subject to a minimum of 0.0065%.
Strategic Timing for Earnings Season
The fee adjustment comes as global markets enter earnings season, a period marked by heightened volatility and frequent position adjustments. In such environments, trading costs and asset availability play a decisive role in execution efficiency. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated: "Earnings season is when trading costs and access really start to matter. Traders need the flexibility to move quickly without worrying about fees eating into every decision. Our job is to remove friction and give people the tools they need to trade stocks and metals anywhere from the world 24/7."
Broad Asset Coverage and High Leverage
Bitget currently offers 33 stock perpetual trading pairs, spanning micro-caps to mega-cap equities, including major global technology stocks, alongside four precious metal perpetuals. The platform also supports one of the highest offerings of up to 100x on selected stock perpetuals, including pairs such as NVDAUSDT, TSLAUSDT, and GOOGLUSDT. Beyond cost efficiency, stock perpetuals lower the barrier to participation by allowing traders to gain exposure without purchasing full shares, enabling more flexible position sizing and capital allocation for short-term earnings or macro-driven price movements.
Universal Exchange Model
The update reinforces Bitget's Universal Exchange model, which brings crypto, stocks and traditional market exposure together under a unified interface. By combining low fees, broad asset coverage, and capital-efficient structures, Bitget continues to position itself as the trading venue for traders moving across asset classes and market cycles. Serving over 125 million users, the platform offers access to over 2M crypto tokens, 100+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and precious metals such as gold. The ecosystem also features an AI agent to co-pilot trade execution. Bitget drives crypto adoption through strategic partnerships with LALIGA and MotoGP™, and has joined hands with UNICEF to support blockchain education for 1.1 million people by 2027.
