Bitget, the Seychelles-based crypto exchange, has significantly expanded its traditional finance offerings by deploying AI-driven trading agents to tokenized US equities and launching US stock options trading for eligible users. The move, announced on July 2, 2026, underscores the exchange’s push to converge crypto and stock markets under one roof.
The AI expansion builds on GetAgent Playbook, an industry-first structured AI strategy library introduced in June 2026. Through Playbook, users can browse, subscribe to, and deploy pre-built trading strategies with a single tap. The system is powered by Bitget’s proprietary execution framework, Agent Harness, which enforces multi-step reasoning, risk boundaries, and isolated fund and API management—moving AI trading beyond simple chat interactions into a repeatable, defined experience. In its first week, Playbook attracted over 30,000 unique users and saw more than 100,000 USDT in cumulative principal deployed, with over 600 users building custom strategies.
Separately, Bitget’s Stock+ platform now supports US stock options trading, initially offering long call and long put positions. This allows traders to take directional bets or hedge downside risk while limiting losses to the premium paid. The exchange noted that the US options market processed a record 15.2 billion contracts in 2025, averaging 60 million daily. More advanced multi-leg strategies are planned for future updates. The options rollout follows Bitget’s existing tokenized stocks and pre-IPO access products. “From tokenized stocks to now options, we are executing on convergence. This is innovation crypto was born to push,” said CEO Gracy Chen.
The expansion comes amid a broader industry trend: in June 2026, Coinbase announced extended options trading for stocks and crypto, while Binance added over 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs and outlined plans for tokenized equity products. Bitget’s dual launch of AI agents and options positions it at the forefront of the crypto-traditional finance integration wave.
