Bitget Launches MDTUSDT Perpetual Futures with 20x Leverage and Trading Bots

Bitget, a cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has launched MDTUSDT perpetual futures trading with up to 20x leverage, accessible via automated trading bots. The contract, which debuted on July 26 (UTC+8), allows exposure to MDT—a governance token of the Manta Network—paired against USDT, offering high-frequency traders precision with a tick size of 0.00001. Funding fees are settled every four hours, and the product operates 24/7. Bitget’s integration of trading bots enables users to execute strategies without manual intervention, catering to algorithmic and quantitative trading needs [1]. The platform reserves the right to adjust parameters like leverage limits and margin rates based on market conditions, urging users to consult official specifications for updates [2].

The MDTUSDT perpetual futures listing aligns with Bitget’s strategy to expand derivatives offerings and support automation-driven trading. By enabling bot compatibility, the platform aims to reduce latency and enhance accessibility for traders deploying arbitrage or quantitative strategies. This move reflects a broader trend in crypto derivatives markets, where exchanges increasingly prioritize infrastructure to accommodate automated trading systems [3]. MDT, central to the Manta Network’s privacy-preserving blockchain applications, has gained traction in DeFi, potentially attracting institutional interest through Bitget’s exposure [3].

The launch highlights Bitget’s focus on innovation in derivatives, having previously introduced cross-margin trading and risk management tools. Automated trading capabilities could lower barriers for novice users, enabling them to adopt pre-built strategies without technical expertise. However, the proliferation of bots may amplify market volatility, requiring traders and platforms to navigate risks associated with rapid price swings [3]. The timing of the listing coincides with growing investor interest in privacy-focused blockchain solutions, positioning Bitget to capitalize on DeFi adoption trends [3].

Bitget’s expansion underscores its role in fostering crypto adoption through partnerships, including collaborations with UNICEF for blockchain education and sponsorships in motorsports and football. Despite these initiatives, the press release emphasizes that digital assets remain highly volatile, advising investors to allocate funds they can afford to lose and seek independent financial advice [2].
