How Bitget Stock Perpetuals Track Tokenized Stock Indices
Summary
The document describes Bitget’s USDT-settled perpetual contracts tied to composite indices of tokenized U.S. stocks. Each index may combine tokens from multiple issuers, with components and weights adjusted for trading activity, liquidity, and exceptional events. The contracts use isolated margin, up to 25x leverage, and a 24/5 schedule; the document contrasts these terms with standard crypto perpetuals, including differences in index sources, open-interest limits, and funding intervals.
It also outlines trading access, supported stock categories, and risk controls. Traders can set take-profit and stop-loss orders, while trading suspensions can prevent new orders and pause mark-price updates and liquidations. The article explains that positions may face liquidation after a price gap when trading resumes, and that the contracts confer no ownership, dividends, or voting rights in the referenced companies. It is a product overview rather than an independent performance analysis; contract parameters and supported assets may change, and leverage can magnify losses.
Key ideas
- The contracts reference composite indices of tokenized stock assets rather than directly holding shares.
- Index components and weights may be updated regularly or after liquidity and market changes.
- The product uses USDT, isolated margin, up to 25x leverage, and a 24/5 trading schedule.
- Trading suspensions can pause price updates and liquidation, leaving positions exposed to gaps when markets reopen.
- Contract holders receive no stock ownership rights, dividends, or voting rights.
