Bitget has expanded the use of 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs by enabling them as margin collateral for USDT-M futures trading through its Unified Trading Account and Multi-Asset Mode.
- Bitget has enabled 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs as margin collateral for USDT M futures trading through its Unified Trading Account.
- Assets including rAAPL, rTSLA, rNVDA, rMSFT, rSPY, and rQQQ can now be used to meet margin requirements while maintaining futures positions.
- The update extends Bitget’s tokenization strategy, following the launch of its Reality platform and a growing lineup of tokenized equities, ETFs, and pre IPO trading products.
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the update took effect on June 4 and allows traders to use selected tokenized equities and exchange-traded funds to meet margin requirements while maintaining futures positions. Newly eligible assets include rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rMU, rTSLA, rGOOGL, rNVDA, rINTC, rMSFT, rASML, rAVGO, rTSM, rQQQ, rSPY, and rSNDK.
Under Bitget’s Unified Trading Account structure, users can manage spot holdings, derivatives positions, and margin obligations within a single account. The exchange said Multi-Asset Mode for USDT-M futures now allows these tokenized instruments to contribute toward collateral requirements, reducing the need to convert assets into a single settlement currency before entering futures trades.
Speaking about the rollout, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said users increasingly want more ways to put tokenized assets to work across different trading activities as adoption of tokenized financial products grows.
“As tokenized assets continue to gain traction across global markets, users are looking for more ways to utilize their holdings across different trading activities. Adding tokenized stocks and ETFs as margin assets increases flexibility within the Unified Trading Account and supports a more seamless experience across crypto and traditional market products.”
Tokenized products gain a larger role inside Bitget’s ecosystem
The latest addition builds on Bitget’s recent push into tokenized financial products. In May, the exchange introduced Reality, a regulated tokenization platform that issues blockchain-based rTokens backed 1:1 by publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs held through regulated broker-dealers.
According to Bitget’s May announcement, Reality was designed to provide on-chain access to traditional financial assets while addressing issues that have historically limited tokenized markets, including liquidity constraints and the handling of dividends and corporate actions. The company said rTokens are supported by infrastructure connected to major U.S. exchanges and backed by reserve attestations conducted through accounting firm The Network Firm.
Several of the assets added as margin collateral this week originate from the Reality product suite. Rather than limiting those tokens to spot market exposure, Bitget is now allowing traders to deploy them within its derivatives framework.
During the same month, Bitget also launched SPCXUSDT, a SpaceX-linked pre-IPO perpetual contract that lets traders speculate on market expectations surrounding a potential public listing without owning SpaceX shares. The exchange also introduced IPO-linked products and expanded access to tokenized equities through multiple offerings tied to public and private markets.
Competition grows in tokenized asset markets
Beyond its exchange platform, Bitget Wallet integrated xStocks infrastructure in May, bringing access to more than 130 tokenized stocks and ETFs through a self-custodial wallet. Bitget Wallet said the move increased its tokenized real-world asset offering to more than 300 products, including equities, commodities, precious metals, and index-linked assets.
According to Bitget, its tokenized equity products have processed more than $30 billion in trading volume since 2025. The company has also stated that users can access more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange products, and precious metals through its trading ecosystem.
