Bitget eliminates stock perps fees for makers, offering boost ahead of earnings season

• Bitget will charge zero maker fees and ultra-low taker fees for its stock perpetuals and precious metal perpetuals until April 30, 2026. 
• Maker fees for stock perpetuals have been reduced from 0.02% to zero, while taker fees have been lowered to as low as 0.0065%. 
• Maker fees for precious metal perpetuals, including gold-linked contracts, have been set to zero, and taker fees have been discounted by up to 70%, subject to a minimum of 0.0065%.

Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), 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. 

The move positions Bitget as the lowest-cost venue in the market while offering one of the broadest selections of stock and metal perps.

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.

Bitget enters low to zero maker fee period

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%.

“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,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Our job is to remove friction and give people the tools they need to trade stocks and metals anywhere from the world 24/7.”

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, offering one of the highest leverage ceilings available in the market.

Bitget extends UEX lead

Beyond cost efficiency, stock perpetuals lower the barrier to participation by allowing traders to gain exposure without purchasing full shares. This structure enables more flexible position sizing and capital allocation, particularly for users navigating short-term earnings or macro-driven price movements.

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.
