Bitget Futures Trading: Your First Trade, Leverage and Risk

Bitget futures trading takes four steps: you move USDT, the Tether stablecoin, from your spot account into your futures account, pick a contract such as BTCUSDT, set the leverage and open a long or short position. According to Bitget’s fee schedule on 13 November 2026, a USDT-M futures trade costs 0.02 percent as a maker and 0.06 percent as a taker, and Bitget offers leverage of up to 150x on BTCUSDT. Most of the risk comes from leverage.
