BTCC Launches Smart Copy Trading for Futures Pro
BTCC, one of the world’s oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, introduced Smart Copy Trading for its Futures Pro platform. The feature launched on November 6, 2025. It allows users to automatically replicate the portfolio allocations and leverage of professional traders.
This update comes after BTCC reported strong growth. Trading volume rose from $6.6 billion in Q2 2025 to $18.7 billion in Q3 2025. This shows increased interest in leveraged crypto products worldwide.
How Smart Copy Trading Works
BTCC’s Smart Copy Trading differs from traditional tools by automating the mirroring process. It copies lead traders’ portfolio allocations and leverage directly.
For example, if a trader uses 10% of their portfolio with 5× leverage on a position, followers’ accounts replicate the same exposure, margin, and risk settings.
The platform features three layers of protection:
- Separation of users’ own trades from copied trades.
- Independent margin-ratio calculations for each copied account.
- Segregated fund allocation to reduce over-leverage risks.
Marcus Chen, BTCC’s Product Manager, said the feature was inspired by user feedback. He stated, “Smart Copy Trading makes professional strategies accessible to everyone. We aim to simplify complexity and maximize opportunities.”
Industry Trends and Risks of Copy Trading
BTCC’s launch reflects a broader trend among crypto exchanges like Bitget and Bybit. These platforms build social trading networks where users follow top traders.
With growing market volatility, such tools attract retail investors seeking automation and transparency over manual trading decisions. This move helps BTCC compete in the expanding copy-trading market.
However, copy trading involves risks. Following another trader’s strategy does not ensure profits and can increase losses. Leverage and rapid market changes may cause positions to misalign with a follower’s risk tolerance or capital.
Experts advise users to:
- Understand margin and liquidation risks before copying trades.
- Diversify by following multiple lead traders.
- Regularly review performance instead of using a “set-and-forget” method.
Copy trading should be seen as a learning tool, not a guaranteed way to make profits.
