As crypto markets continue to mature, derivatives have quietly become one of the most powerful engines of growth — and Bitget is riding that wave to new heights. In partnership with Bitcoin.com, the exchange has released a new report, Crypto Derivatives 101, aimed at helping beginners understand the complex yet increasingly essential world of crypto futures, perpetual swaps, and options.

The educational report comes at a time of explosive growth in derivatives trading. In 2024 alone, centralized exchanges processed $58.5 trillion in derivatives volume, with perpetual futures accounting for the majority. Bitget has emerged as a standout player, doubling its futures assets under management and growing its market share from 4.6% to 7.2% year-to-date in 2025 — enough to place it third globally behind Binance and OKX.

Unlike traditional finance, where derivatives are largely used by institutional players, the crypto world is opening these tools to a wider audience. That shift is what prompted Bitget and Bitcoin.com to collaborate on a guide that strips away the jargon and explains how traders — from casual users to DAOs and hedge funds — can use derivatives for risk management, speculation, or capital efficiency.

One of the report’s key contributions is its comparison of centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the perpetual futures market. While CEXs offer deep liquidity, high leverage, and low fees, DEXs appeal to crypto-native users looking for transparency, custody, and composability. Bitget positions itself at the intersection of both worlds, offering a hybrid “CeDeFi” experience via its Bitget Onchain platform, which allows users to trade on-chain assets with the simplicity of a CEX interface.

The report also presents case studies outlining which trading environments suit different user types. Retail users benefit from Bitget’s intuitive interface, fiat on-ramps, and copy trading features. DeFi-native traders may prefer DEXs for their permissionless structure. Meanwhile, institutions and prop firms are increasingly choosing Bitget for its AI-powered risk management tools, growing altcoin liquidity, and compliance-ready infrastructure.

Bitget’s CEO Gracy Chen notes that “education is the first step toward empowering users to trade responsibly,” while Bitcoin.com Partnership Director, Eli Bordun emphasizes the need for clarity in a space where innovation often outpaces understanding.

The guide also explores broader trends such as AI-assisted trading, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and the rise of institutional strategies in DeFi. As Bitget builds on its momentum, the exchange appears poised not just to compete — but to shape how the next generation enters the world of crypto derivatives.
