Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said weekend trading activity in the exchange’s tokenized U.S. stock products surged after a sudden shift in the Middle East situation, when traditional U.S. equity markets were closed and traders looked for alternative venues. In a post on X, Chen said Bitget’s stock tokens, known as rToken, absorbed part of that overflow demand because they trade around the clock as real-world asset products.
According to the figures she shared, weekend rToken volume reached 10 times the level of the previous weekend and was about 2.2 times higher than the average weekend level seen in June. The most actively traded names were rNVDA, rMU and rGOOGL. Chen also said Bitget’s VIP users were more active in weekend U.S. stock token trading than the platform-wide average.
She added that the absolute scale of weekend trading in tokenized U.S. stocks is still at an early stage. Even so, she said recent market volatility has already shown the value of 24/7 trading access.

In a post on X, Chen said Bitget’s stock tokens, or rToken, took in part of that overflow demand. She described the products as real-world asset (RWA) offerings that support 24/7 trading.
According to the data she shared, weekend rToken trading volume was 10 times the level of the previous weekend and about 2.2 times the average weekend volume recorded in June. rNVDA, rMU and rGOOGL ranked as the top three products by trading volume.
Chen also said Bitget VIP users were more active in weekend trading of tokenized U.S. stocks than the average user on the platform. She added that while the absolute volume remains at an early stage, periods of market volatility have shown the importance of around-the-clock trading.
