GELEPHU MINDFULNESS CITY, Bhutan, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BIT Brokerage today
announced the official launch of U.S. stock options trading, offering zero-commission
trading on both buy and sell orders as a standard feature rather than a temporary
promotion. Platform fees are set at an industry-competitive $0.30 per contract —
approximately half the market average charged by major retail brokerages. The minimum
transaction fee is $0.99 per order, aligning with BIT Brokerage’s standard U.S. 
equity trading fees, imposing no additional surcharge for options.

This launch marks the platform’s latest expansion into equity derivatives following
the earlier introduction of its U.S. margin trading services.  

BIT Brokerage is rolling out its options offerings in phases, initially covering
approximately 2,000 U.S. equities. The initial phase focuses exclusively on options
buying strategies — long calls and long puts. Options selling (short positions) 
will not be available during this initial launch.

Long options positions allow investors to hedge existing portfolios or participate
in market volatility with defined, downside-protected exposure. Unlike margin trading,
fully paid long options provide market exposure without borrowing, with the maximum
loss limited to the premium paid even during sharp market moves.

"Options are, at their core, a risk management tool rather than a purely speculative
one," said Elio Cui, Head of Brokerage at BIT. "From margin trading to options, 
what we want to build for users isn’t a single trading feature, but a comprehensive
toolkit of U.S. equity products tailored to different risk appetites and stages 
of an investor’s journey. Starting with options buying reflects our commitment to
helping users fully grasp the underlying risk dynamics before moving into more complex
strategies, fully aligned with the disciplined, iterative approach we take across
our business."

BIT Brokerage will continue to progressively expand its options ecosystem to include
options selling and complex trading strategies, subject to ongoing market conditions,
user demand, and further validation of the platform’s risk control systems.

Disclaimer: Options trading involves risk and may result in the loss of the entire
premium paid. Please use investment and financing tools appropriately based on your
own investment objectives and risk tolerance.
