Gm Bitval Community! 🌞

Bitval has always been built around what traders actually want to trade. Today we are expanding beyond crypto. This is the first time we have listed commodities and equities on the platform, and it will not be the last. ICYMI, here's the list of new assets:

→ XAU/USDT: Gold perpetuals, up to 100x leverage
→ XAG/USDT: Silver perpetuals, up to 100x leverage
→ CL/USDT: Oil perpetuals, up to 100x leverage
→ TSLA/USDT: Tesla perpetuals, up to 50x leverage
→ NVDA/USDT: Nvidia perpetuals, up to 50x leverage

This is part of a broader direction for Bitval. We are building a platform where traders can access the markets they care about without switching between accounts and brokers.

One CFTC-regulated exchange now accounts for 𝟳𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 - a significant increase from earlier this year.

That shift is worth paying attention to.

Two exchanges can both claim to offer low fees and still have very different costs once you look beyond the headline number.

For traders, the details matter:

• Spot: 0.12% maker / 0.145% taker
• Futures: 0.014% maker / 0.035% taker
• Deposits: No deposit fee
• Margin: No separate account fee

And fees don't stop at the trading screen.

💬 When comparing exchanges, what matters most to you: lower trading fees, transparent pricing, or the total cost of trading?

And before comparing fees, listings, or features, it helps to understand what you're actually choosing.

“Crypto exchange” covers several different models:

➜ 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁
You buy or sell an asset at the current market price. Simple and usually the starting point for new traders.

➜ 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 & 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀
You trade contracts based on an asset's price rather than buying the underlying asset directly. Leverage can increase capital efficiency but it also increases risk, making margin, liquidation, and position management critical.

➜ 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝘀. 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹
Custodial platforms hold assets on your behalf. Non-custodial platforms generally let you trade from your own wallet and retain control of your keys.

➜ 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝘀. 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱
CEXs typically provide managed trading infrastructure, order books, account systems, and support.
DEXs use smart contracts and on-chain liquidity to facilitate trading without relying on the same centralized operator.

𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

They involve different trade-offs around 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

That's why understanding the basics should come 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 comparing exchanges.

The exchange isn't just where you click “Buy.”

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁?

The 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗔𝗰𝘁 is one of the biggest attempts yet to provide an answer.

But there's an important distinction:

𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝘁.

The legislation aims to establish a clearer federal framework for digital assets and define the respective roles of the 𝗦𝗘𝗖 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗙𝗧𝗖.

That could have major implications for:

→ Digital asset issuers
→ Exchanges and trading platforms
→ Custodians
→ Developers
→ Institutional investors

Why does this matter?

Because regulatory uncertainty isn't just a legal problem.

𝗜𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱.

It influences where companies operate, how products are structured, how institutions participate, and how much regulatory risk market participants are willing to take.

But several issues are still being negotiated, including questions around stablecoin rewards, ethics provisions, and protections for developers.

So the key takeaway isn't “𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.”

It's this:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱.

And if those rules become clearer, durable, and workable, the impact could extend well beyond the U.S. market.

For crypto, regulatory clarity isn't just about compliance.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

The U.S. Treasury has proposed rules to implement the 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗨𝗦 𝗔𝗰𝘁, opening the next stage of the U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework.

Two dates are worth watching:

📅 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳
The GENIUS Act is expected to take effect, with payment stablecoin issuers generally required to operate under an appropriate federal or state licensing framework.

📅 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟴
Digital asset service providers generally won't be able to offer or sell payment stablecoins to U.S. persons unless they come from permitted issuers.

But the bigger story isn't just the dates.

Stablecoins sit at the center of 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻-𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

So questions around 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗨.𝗦. 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 could have implications far beyond stablecoin issuers.

For exchanges, platforms, builders, and traders, this is an important transition to watch.

And there's an important caveat:

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

Treasury is accepting public comments before the implementation process moves forward.

The direction is becoming clearer.

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 → 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟴 → 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁-𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆

An exchange license isn't a universal stamp of approval.

It means the platform is operating under a 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿.

You’ll often see terms like:

🇺🇸 MSB — United States
🇬🇧 FCA — United Kingdom
🇸🇬 MAS — Singapore
🇪🇺 MiCA — European Union

But here's the part that matters:

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗶𝘁.

Regulators maintain public registers. Search for the exchange by name and check whether the registration or authorization is actually active.

And remember what a license 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 guarantee.

It doesn't mean an exchange can't fail, experience a security incident, or eliminate every risk associated with trading digital assets.

It tells you 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.

That's why understanding the framework behind the word “licensed” matters.

Fewer pay attention to 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.

The first distinction to understand is simple:

➜ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 = 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆
Your order goes onto the order book and waits to be matched. A typical example is a limit order that doesn't execute immediately.

➜ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 = 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆
Your order matches with an existing order immediately such as a market order.

That's why exchanges can charge different rates for makers and takers.

On 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝘃𝗮𝗹:

Spot
• Maker: 0.12%
• Taker: 0.145%

Futures
• Maker: 0.014%
• Taker: 0.035%

The difference can look small on a single trade.

But for active traders making many trades, 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

That's why understanding maker vs. taker isn't just terminology.

It helps you understand 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲.

Before choosing an exchange, don't just ask:

The higher your leverage, the less room your position has to absorb an adverse price move.

2x → more room to breathe
10x → significantly less room
20x+ → liquidation can get much closer

Before opening a leveraged position, don't just look at the potential profit.

Know your:

• Margin
• Leverage
• Liquidation price
• Position size

Because in futures, understanding the risk is just as important as understanding the trade.

Bots, trading scripts and third-party tools can interact with an exchange through an API key without needing your account password.

But there's one thing traders shouldn't overlook:

🔐 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

An API key can have different levels of access:

➜ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 — view balances, orders and account data
➜ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 — place and manage orders
➜ 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗹𝘀 — move funds out of the account

Perpetuals give traders the ability to position for 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

➜ 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 — when you expect price to move higher.

➜ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 — when you expect price to move lower.

That changes how you can approach different market conditions.

Bullish? Long.
Bearish? Short.

Of course, perpetuals also come with leverage and liquidation risk, so understanding the mechanics matters before you trade.
