Bitget Stock Futures Fees, Trading Hours, Liquidity & Slippage
Bitget stock perpetual fees (0.02% maker, 0.06% taker), 24/7 trading hours, and how liquidity, funding and slippage differ by contract, from market data.
The short answer: Bitget stock perpetuals charge a base fee of 0.02% for makers and 0.06% for takers; since 7 February 2026 they trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; and funding settles roughly every hour. Liquidity varies enormously. Of the 333 Bitget stock contracts we track, the 23 busiest account for almost 80% of all volume, while about three quarters trade less than $1 million a day — on those, market orders can slip noticeably.
Below we cover how fees are calculated, when you can trade, which contracts are liquid and how to keep slippage down. Market figures come from Bitget's public data as collected by this site (a 19 October 2026 snapshot plus the previous 30 days of funding records); official rules were checked on 5 November 2026.
What are Bitget's stock futures trading fees?
Bitget stock contracts are USDT-margined perpetuals with symbols such as TSLAUSDT and NVDAUSDT. Fees are charged on the traded notional value, regardless of leverage:
- Maker 0.02%: a limit order that rests on the book and is filled later by someone else.
- Taker 0.06%: a market order, or a limit order priced to fill immediately.
All 333 stock contracts we read from Bitget's public API carry this base rate, matching Bitget Academy's stock futures FAQ. VIP tiers and promotions can lower it — for example, Bitget ran zero maker fees and heavily discounted taker fees on stock futures from 10 February to 30 April 2026. Promotions have end dates, so check Bitget's fee and campaign pages before you trade.
| Example: a 1,000 USDT position | Open | Close | Round trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market orders both ways (taker) | 0.60 USDT | 0.60 USDT | 1.20 USDT |
| Resting limit orders both ways (maker) | 0.20 USDT | 0.20 USDT | 0.40 USDT |
| Same 1,000 USDT position at 10x with 100 USDT margin | Fees are unchanged (still on 1,000 USDT) — 1.2% of your margin | ||
The higher the leverage, the bigger fees are relative to your margin — an easy cost to overlook when trading short-term at high leverage. On top of fees you pay funding (below) and slippage. For a venue-by-venue view, see our trading fee comparison.
Bitget stock futures trading hours: nights and weekends
Bitget announced on 30 January 2026 that stock futures would move to continuous 24/7 trading from 7 February 2026, unaffected by weekends or holidays. Before that they traded 24 hours a day, five days a week (Monday 08:00 to Saturday 08:00 UTC+8 during US daylight saving time) and closed at weekends.
Bitget's 24/7 US stocks explainer splits the day into four sessions:
| Session | US Eastern time | UTC+8 (US daylight saving) | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overnight | 20:00–04:00 | 08:00–16:00 | Thinnest; the stock itself is not trading |
| Pre-market | 04:00–09:30 | 16:00–21:30 | Picking up |
| Regular | 09:30–16:00 | 21:30–04:00 | Busiest; tracks the stock most closely |
| After-hours | 16:00–20:00 | 04:00–08:00 | Thinning out |
At weekends and whenever the stock market is shut, contracts keep trading but there is no live share price to anchor them. According to Bitget's upgrade announcement, the mark price is then limited to within ±3% of the index price, so a handful of thin trades cannot drag it far enough to set off a chain of liquidations. That cap applies to the mark price, not to your fill: with a thin order book a market order can still fill well away from fair value. Bitget itself notes that liquidity is usually lower and spreads wider in pre-market, after-hours and overnight sessions.
Holidays: the stock futures upgrade announcement says trading continues through holidays, while Bitget's separate 24/7 US stocks explainer mentions closures on major US holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Independence Day. Thanksgiving falls on 26 November 2026, so check Bitget's current announcements if you plan to hold through it. For more on off-hours pricing, see trading stock tokens on weekends.
How liquid are Bitget stock perpetuals?
Large in total, but highly concentrated. In our 19 October 2026 snapshot, Bitget's 333 stock contracts did about $1.1 billion in 24-hour volume with about $760 million in open interest, ranking 4th of the 9 stock-perpetual venues we track (behind Binance, OKX and Hyperliquid). By volume per contract:
| 24h volume | Contracts | Share of Bitget stock futures volume |
|---|---|---|
| Over $10M | 23 | About 79% |
| $1M–$10M | 57 | About 17% |
| $100k–$1M | 110 | About 3% |
| Under $100k | 143 | Under 0.5% |
So roughly three quarters of the contracts trade under $1 million a day, and the quietest (NVSUSDT, BHPUSDT) see only one or two thousand dollars. The most active contracts are not necessarily the best-known companies but volatile names such as leveraged ETFs, memory-chip makers and Korean stocks. A few common contracts compared:
| Contract | 24h volume | Open interest | Max leverage | 30-day cumulative funding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOXLUSDT (3x semiconductor ETF) | ~$196M | ~$66.7M | 20x | +6.50% |
| MSTRUSDT | ~$29.7M | ~$35.5M | 25x | +11.66% |
| QQQUSDT | ~$18.0M | ~$10.4M | 20x | +4.48% |
| TSLAUSDT | ~$15.2M | ~$16.6M | 100x | +8.56% |
| NVDAUSDT | ~$13.2M | ~$12.8M | 100x | +5.38% |
| CRCLUSDT | ~$8.6M | ~$19.7M | 25x | +11.62% |
| AAPLUSDT | ~$2.0M | ~$6.3M | 100x | +0.56% |
Volume and open interest are from the 19 October 2026 snapshot; cumulative funding adds up every settlement from 19 September to 19 October 2026, where a positive figure means longs paid shorts. For live figures, sortable by volume, open interest and funding, see the Bitget venue page.
Funding: the main cost of holding overnight and over weekends
Funding is a periodic payment between longs and shorts that keeps the contract close to the index price; the exchange does not keep it. Our records show Bitget stock contracts settling funding every hour, weekends included. (Bitget Academy's FAQ says every 8 hours — go by the settlement countdown on the trading page.)
The table shows how much holding costs differ. Over the same 30 days a long AAPLUSDT position paid only about 0.56% in total, while MSTRUSDT and CRCLUSDT longs paid more than 11% and TSLAUSDT about 8.6%. On a 1,000 USDT position, a month long TSLAUSDT cost roughly 86 USDT in funding alone — far more than the 1.20 USDT round-trip fee. Funding is charged on notional, so with higher leverage it eats a larger share of margin, and popular contracts with bullish sentiment usually cost longs more. See how stock perpetual funding rates work for the maths.
Where slippage comes from and how to reduce it on Bitget
Slippage is the gap between the price you expect and the price you get. A market order eats through resting orders one level at a time; the thinner the book, the further the fill moves against you. On Bitget stock contracts three things drive it:
- The contract's volume: on a contract trading tens of millions a day, a market order of a few thousand USDT usually barely moves the price; on one trading under $100k a day, the same order may sweep several levels.
- The session: US regular hours are busiest; overnight and weekends are thin with wider spreads.
- Fast markets: around earnings, the US open and the first open after a weekend, prices can gap, and stop orders that trigger as market orders fill away from the trigger price.
Ways to reduce slippage:
- Use limit orders where you can. They never fill at a worse price than you set, and a resting limit order pays the lower 0.02% maker fee.
- Check the order book on the trading page and make sure your size fills within the first few levels.
- On low-volume contracts, split large orders or wait for US regular hours.
- For less common stocks, compare venues on our stock pages first: the same stock may trade far more on Binance, OKX or Hyperliquid.
- Leave room on stops and lower leverage when holding over a weekend, so a gap at the open does not hit your liquidation price.
Two more points: the minimum order on Bitget stock contracts is about 5 USDT, and in our data most contracts allow up to 20x leverage while popular ones such as TSLA, NVDA and AAPL go up to 100x — the order page shows what is available, and higher leverage puts liquidation closer. Some companies have more than one similar symbol (SKHYUSDT and SKHYNIXUSDT, for instance), so check the underlying before you trade.

Frequently asked questions
Are Bitget stock futures fees higher than Binance or OKX?
The base rate of 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker sits in the same range as most exchanges' standard futures fees. What you actually pay depends on VIP tier and promotions; see our fee comparison for per-market figures across venues.
Can you trade Bitget stock futures on weekends?
Yes. Since 7 February 2026 Bitget stock futures trade 24/7, with trading and funding continuing at weekends. Weekend liquidity is thin and spreads wider, and the mark price is held within ±3% of the index price.
Why is a stock's volume lower on Bitget than elsewhere?
Each venue has different users and market makers, and different popular contracts. Bitget volume concentrates in leveraged ETFs, memory-chip makers and Korean stocks; big names like AAPL see comparatively little. Our stock pages show each venue's volume for the same stock.
Does Bitget show market depth for stock futures?
Yes, the trading page shows the live order book. This site shows 24-hour volume and open interest; higher numbers usually mean a deeper book, but how much size the book can absorb is best checked on the live order book.
