Bitget has added support for 39 stock-backed tokens, or rTokens, as collateral in its crypto lending section, according to an official announcement cited by ChainCatcher. The newly supported assets include names such as rAMD, rSMH, rARM and rSKHY, spanning U.S. stocks and ETFs across sectors including semiconductors, finance, healthcare and energy. Users holding these tokenized stock products can now pledge them to borrow major assets such as USDT and USDC without selling their positions, giving them a way to unlock liquidity while retaining exposure. Bitget said the feature is already live on the web version, while app support is expected to arrive within the week. The company also said the rTokens are issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget, and connected to liquidity pools including Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange through a partnership with licensed broker Alpaca. Bitget said the products are backed 1:1, dividends are distributed in token form on a 1:1 basis, and corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are mirrored.
Bitget has added support for 39 stock-backed tokens, known as rTokens, as collateral in its crypto lending section, according to an official announcement cited by ChainCatcher.
The newly listed collateral assets include rAMD, rSMH, rARM and rSKHY, covering popular U.S. stocks and ETFs across sectors such as semiconductors, finance, healthcare and energy. Users who hold these stock tokens can now use them to borrow major assets including USDT and USDC, allowing them to unlock liquidity without selling their positions.
The feature is already live on Bitget's web platform. App support is expected to go live within this week. Specific collateral parameters and additional details are available on Bitget's official platform.
How the rToken structure works
Bitget said rTokens use the prefix “r” plus the stock ticker, with rNVDA given as an example for Nvidia. The tokens are issued by Reality, a licensed real-world asset protocol under Bitget, and connect to global liquidity pools including Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange through a partnership with licensed broker Alpaca.
According to the announcement, the products are backed by underlying assets on a 1:1 basis and held with licensed custodians. Stock dividends are distributed in token form on a 1:1 basis, and corporate actions including stock splits and reverse splits are mirrored on-chain.
Bitget also said these holdings can be used as joint margin under its unified account and USDT-margined futures setup, giving users a way to manage capital more flexibly while maintaining exposure to global equity assets.
