Bitget Launches Perpetual Contracts for Deere and Nikkei 225

The notable part is not the two tickers but the direction of travel: a crypto-native venue is listing exposure to a US industrial name and a Japanese equity index, which puts it in the same arena as regulated futures venues rather than alongside other crypto exchanges. The audience most affected is traders already holding accounts on such platforms, who gain access without touching a traditional broker. Whether other offshore exchanges follow with equity and index perpetuals, and how regulators in the relevant jurisdictions respond to leveraged synthetic exposure to traditional assets, is the open question.
