Bitget has launched Bitget Stocks 2.0, an upgraded tokenized stock spot product, as digital asset platforms face closer attention from New York and European Union finance watchdogs over stablecoin-linked market activity.
The Victoria, Seychelles-based exchange said the product is intended to improve liquidity, asset transparency and capital efficiency for tokenized equity trading. The launch places Bitget’s stock-linked assets within a wider market environment where regulators are examining how stablecoins support trading, settlement and collateral use.
Tokenized stock product expands through Reality issuance
The product is issued by Reality, which Bitget described as a licensed real-world asset issuance platform, with strategic support, trading access and asset security provided through Bitget’s ecosystem. The structure is designed to give users access to stock-linked tokens through spot trading inside the Bitget app. Bitget said the upgraded product connects tokenized stock trading with equity market liquidity from global channels.
The company said Stocks 2.0 is built around deeper stock market liquidity, 1:1 economic mapping of eligible underlying assets and wider use of stock tokens across platform tools. The exchange said the trading design is intended to provide deeper order books, reduced trading friction and faster execution. Users trade the eligible stock tokens directly against USDT, according to the announcement.
Corporate action treatment is also part of the upgraded structure. Cash dividends are converted into USDT and credited to user accounts, while stock dividends are reflected in token balances. Stock splits and reverse splits are mapped to token positions so that the user’s economic exposure remains aligned with the related equity.
Stablecoin scrutiny frames the market backdrop
The launch comes as New York and EU finance watchdogs team up to police stablecoins, creating a closer regulatory setting for products that use stablecoins in trading and settlement. Stablecoins remain central to tokenized asset markets because they are widely used as quote currencies, collateral and payment instruments. Bitget’s use of USDT for direct stock-token trading places the product within that broader area of regulatory interest.
Bitget said eligible stock tokens may be used within unified account and margin systems, depending on user eligibility and jurisdiction. The tokens can also be connected to supported tools such as spot grid, futures grid, copy trading and selected yield products. This design gives users several ways to manage capital while holding exposure to global equity-linked assets.
Gracy Chen, Bitget’s chief executive, said tokenized equities are becoming a bridge between crypto markets and global financial markets. She said more than 10% of global financial assets could be tokenized by 2030, provided platforms are built around access, depth and compliance. Her remarks were issued as exchanges continue to position real-world asset products within more regulated market structures.
Fees and first stock-linked listings detailed
Bitget said its base rate for the product is 0.1%, while maker and taker fees are aligned with VIP pricing at a fixed 0.05% when BGB offers apply. The company described the fee model as a competitive route for users trading stock-linked assets. The announcement did not remove the need for users to meet local eligibility, access and compliance requirements.
The launch builds on Bitget’s existing tokenized equity products, including tokenized stocks, exchange-traded funds, stock futures and pre-IPO exposure. The company said its cumulative tokenized stock spot volume surpassed $1 billion in January 2026. It also said it accounted for about 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025.
Bitget said its stock futures crossed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, which it presented as part of its Universal Exchange model. The first batch of Bitget Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets. The list covers major equities and ETFs, including Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft and QQQ.
