Bitget launched four stock perpetual pairs—FCXUSDT, BHPUSDT, RIOUSDT and VALEUSDT—on September 9, 2026, at UTC+8. Stock perps (perpetual contracts tracking stock prices) are settled in USDT, offer up to 20x leverage and trade around the clock, with funding fees settled every eight hours. The contracts provide price exposure to Freeport-McMoRan, BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Vale without conferring ownership of the underlying shares, dividends, voting rights or other shareholder entitlements. Bitget warned that the products can be highly volatile, that leverage increases risk exposure and that it may adjust trading parameters according to market conditions.
