Bitget has raised maximum leverage to 1:2000 on 21 forex CFD pairs, effective November 1. The headline sounds impressive. However, the exchange’s own trading rules bring that leverage down to 1:200 during economic data releases, precisely when market volatility tends to pick up. The new offer covers major and cross-currency pairs involving the euro, pound, US dollar, yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc. It also adds another dimension to Bitget’s expanding CFD business, following the exchange’s $1.86 trillion trading volume in Q3 2026.
