Bitget adds Delta Neutral Mode to Unified Trading Account

Bitget introduced Delta Neutral Mode within its Unified Trading Account on May 18, 2026. The feature applies differentiated auto-deleveraging (ADL) ranking to hedged spot, margin and futures positions that meet predefined delta-neutral thresholds, reducing their ADL priority when the system determines exposures are effectively neutral.

The platform evaluates directional exposure using delta calculations relative to total account equity and verifies whether futures positions are offset by spot holdings in the same underlying asset. Positions that satisfy the neutrality criteria are treated differently in the ADL ranking process, which can reduce the likelihood of auto-deleveraging during extreme market stress for hedged strategies.

The feature targets traders running funding-rate arbitrage, basis trading, market-neutral strategies and quantitative hedging models who manage exposure across spot, cross margin and futures within a single account. Delta Neutral Mode supports USDT-M, USDC-M and Coin-M futures and is available in live and demo trading environments. Bitget noted the rollout will occur in phases across web, mobile app and API access.

Auto-deleveraging is a risk-management mechanism that can reduce or close leveraged positions when a counterparty’s losses exceed available insurance or margin. Under Delta Neutral Mode, the exchange applies a lower ADL priority to eligible hedged positions after assessing neutrality at both the overall account level and the individual asset level.

Delta Neutral Mode expands Bitget’s Unified Trading Account framework, which combines spot, margin and derivatives trading under a single account to improve capital efficiency and simplify execution. The company has also been developing multi-asset trading access, tokenized financial products and cross-market collateral functionality to support more advanced trading approaches while keeping account management unified.

Bitget reported it serves more than 125 million users and offers access to over 2 million crypto tokens and more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange and precious metals. The company stated the feature is designed to be compatible with existing hedging and arbitrage workflows across its ecosystem.

Gracy Chen, Bitget CEO, commented: “Trading infrastructure continues evolving toward more sophisticated multi-strategy environments where users actively manage exposure across spot, derivatives, and onchain markets simultaneously. Delta Neutral Mode adds more flexibility for traders using hedging and arbitrage strategies while improving how risk treatment is handled within a unified account structure.”

The announcement included a risk reminder that digital asset prices can be highly volatile. Investors were advised to allocate only funds they can afford to lose, to seek independent financial advice, and to note that past performance is not indicative of future results.
