Bitget has launched a CFD Copy Trading feature, extending its copy trading services into traditional financial markets. The new product allows users to automatically follow professional traders across forex, commodities, and indices from within the Bitget platform under a single account structure.
The company described the feature as part of its effort to connect crypto trading with broader asset classes. It noted that more crypto-native users have been seeking exposure to non-crypto markets as macroeconomic conditions become increasingly interconnected.
Expansion of CFD and copy trading services
The launch follows Bitget’s announcement that its CFD business recently surpassed US$6 billion in single-day trading volume. The company linked this increase to heightened volatility across global markets, citing movements in gold, oil, major currency pairs, and equity indices.
According to data from Brokeree Solutions referenced by Bitget, copy trading has accounted for around 6% to 20% of total trading volume at brokerages in recent years. Bitget’s CFD Copy Trading product is designed to tap into this trend by enabling users to mirror strategies from selected traders with a minimum starting amount of 50 USDT.
The new feature uses the same copy trading framework already applied to Bitget’s futures and spot products. It is built on the company’s MT5-integrated CFD infrastructure, aiming to provide continuity for existing users familiar with its other trading services.
Operational features and profit-sharing model
Bitget stated that account creation and withdrawal processing for the CFD Copy Trading product are completed in under three seconds through an automated system. Performance data for traders and followers, including return on investment, follower counts, and profit-sharing figures, is updated hourly.
The company has introduced a High-Water Mark profit-sharing model for the service. Under this model, traders earn a share of profits only when follower accounts reach a new net profit high after recovering previous losses. Profit-sharing settlements are processed on a daily basis.
Eligible traders using the CFD Copy Trading product can receive up to 30% of profits generated for followers, depending on account structure and VIP status. Bitget positions the product as a way to narrow the gap between crypto-native users and traditional markets by providing access to non-crypto asset classes through a familiar copy trading mechanism.
