From Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan, BIT Brokerage has extended its reach into U.S. equity derivatives, offering retail investors access to stock options at roughly half the cost of established brokerages. The launch is deliberate in its restraint — beginning with long positions only, it asks investors to understand defined risk before venturing into more complex territory. In an era when financial tools often outpace the wisdom to use them, BIT's phased approach reflects a quieter conviction: that access and education ought to travel together.
