Bitget brings 100 tokenized U.S. stocks into one margin pool

Bitget has launched a Cross-Asset Unified Account that combines cryptocurrency and tokenized U.S. equities within one margin system.

Summary

• Bitget combines 370+ eligible assets and 100 tokenized U.S. stocks within a single margin pool.
• Eligible rTokens can support trading, borrowing and margin use while preserving exposure to underlying equities.
• Reality's rToken ecosystem has now surpassed $100 million in assets under management, according to Bitget.

The exchange said the new structure supports more than 370 eligible assets, including 100 US stock tokens known as rTokens.

According to the official Bitget announcement, users can hold eligible stock tokens while also using them as margin for futures and margin trading. They can also pledge supported rTokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins rather than selling their positions.

Bitget expands unified margin beyond crypto

Traditional exchange accounts often separate collateral across individual products and positions. Bitget's Unified Trading Account already allowed several cryptocurrencies to contribute toward one collateral pool. The latest update extends that model to tokenized equities and other eligible real-world assets.

The initial list includes tokens linked to Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, JPMorgan, Walmart, Strategy, the S&P 500 ETF and the Nasdaq-100 ETF. Bitget applies collateral discount rates of up to 95%, depending on the asset and the amount held. Borrowing rates change hourly based on market supply and demand.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said "the real breakthrough" comes when tokenized stocks can work with the same flexibility as crypto. She said a stock position should be able to support another trade or provide liquidity instead of remaining isolated within an account.

rTokens gain a wider role across trading products

The launch expands an earlier rollout that covered a smaller group of tokenized assets. Bitget enabled 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs as collateral for USDT-margined futures in June. The list included assets linked to Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, SPY and QQQ.

The new account raises that number to 100 stock tokens and adds broader uses for the assets. Eligible rTokens can now contribute to margin requirements, support borrowing and provide exposure to their linked equities. Bitget also says holders can receive cash dividend distributions where applicable.

The company warns that using tokenized assets as collateral can increase overall account leverage. A fall in collateral value can lead to margin calls or liquidation, while borrowed funds also carry interest costs.

Reality platform supports Bitget's tokenized stock push

The Cross-Asset Unified Account builds on Bitget's Reality platform, which launched in May. As reported by crypto.news, Reality offers rTokens linked to publicly traded US stocks and ETFs, with Bitget saying the assets are backed 1:1 through regulated brokerage arrangements.

Bitget now says Reality-linked rTokens have passed $100 million in assets under management during their first month and generated more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume. Those figures come from the company and have not been independently verified in the announcement.

The exchange has also reported stronger liquidity across some tokenized markets. As previously reported, a Bitget and Block Scholes study found that its Nvidia-linked perpetual market reached about 75% of the liquidity depth of its Bitcoin spot market.

Exchanges push tokenized assets toward broader utility

Bitget's latest rollout comes as crypto platforms move tokenized stocks beyond simple price exposure. The company is positioning rTokens as assets that can serve several purposes inside a single account instead of functioning only as instruments that track equity prices.

The broader trend is also extending into wallets and trading infrastructure. Bitget Wallet upgraded its trading infrastructure in June to support direct transactions involving tokenized real-world assets.

Bitget plans to add more assets to its Cross-Asset Unified Account. The launch expands its earlier collateral framework while placing tokenized stocks, crypto assets and borrowing functions inside the same capital pool.
