Bitget Melancarkan Dagangan Opsyen Saham A.S. Pertama dalam Industri Kripto

Bitget launched U.S. listed stock options on its platform, adding long call/long put functionality that limits option buyers’ downside to the paid premium and enables direct trading in U.S. equities alongside crypto and CFD markets. The article cites record U.S. options market activity in 2025 (15.2B+ contracts; ~60M/day), suggesting broad uptake by retail and institutions. As an initial promotion, eligible users may receive NVIDIA stock worth $15 upon completing their first U.S. stock option trade (campaign terms apply).

Analysis

This is primarily a distribution story, not a fundamental equity catalyst. The economic value accrues to the platform capturing higher-frequency, higher-churn users; the underlying U.S. listed names are mostly just inventory for retail speculation. For NVDA, the only plausible market impact is a marginal lift in retail call activity and short-dated implied vol, but that is far smaller than the options flow already driven by U.S. platforms and earnings-cycle positioning.

The second-order effect is competitive: crypto-native venues are trying to own the entire retail risk budget, which pressures traditional brokers on engagement rather than P&L immediately. If this product actually scales across jurisdictions, the beneficiaries are option-market-making venues and brokers with strong margin/derivatives monetization; if it stays single-leg and offshore, the flow likely remains small, fragmented, and highly promotional. The NVDA giveaway is a user-acquisition subsidy, not evidence of structural demand for the stock.

Contrarian view: the market may be overestimating how much incremental demand this creates for U.S. equities. Single-leg access without full multi-leg sophistication tends to attract speculative churn, not durable asset migration, and regulatory gating can change overnight by region. Over 1-3 months, the key falsifier is whether offshore access translates into visible, sustained changes in NVDA options open interest or retail participation; absent that, this is noise for the stock and more relevant as a signal for platform competition.
