According to ChainCatcher, Bitget has officially announced a major 2.0 upgrade to its US stock spot token product. Following the upgrade, these tokens will be issued through Reality, Bitget's licensed Real-World Asset (RWA) protocol. Reality is a regulated platform designed to tokenize traditional financial assets in a compliant manner, ensuring each token is backed by authentic underlying equities. The upgrade focuses on three key dimensions—liquidity depth, asset transparency, and capital efficiency—bridging the gap between on-chain trading and traditional stock exchanges. Alongside the product revamp, Bitget is offering a limited-time 50% discount on trading fees, bringing the rate for both Makers and Takers down to 0.05%, significantly lowering transaction costs for users.
Direct Connectivity to Global Liquidity Pools
A cornerstone of the upgrade is enhanced liquidity. The upgraded stock tokens now connect directly to major global liquidity pools such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. This ensures deeper order books, faster execution, and reduced slippage, while maintaining stable pricing even during pre-market and after-hours sessions. By tapping into primary market liquidity, Bitget enables token prices to more accurately reflect real-world supply and demand for the underlying stocks.
A Dual Revolution in Transparency and Efficiency
On the transparency front, stock dividends will be distributed to users in token form on a 1:1 basis, while cash dividends are automatically converted to USDT and credited. Holders thus enjoy the exact same economic benefits as direct stockholders. Corporate actions like stock splits and mergers are synchronized on-chain in real time, ensuring full alignment between the digital token and the actual equity.
Capital efficiency sees a marked improvement as well. US stock tokens can now serve as margin within Bitget’s unified account and are fully compatible with grid trading, copy trading, and staking/lending services. Token holders can also leverage staking and lending to access additional liquidity without selling their assets, creating yield-on-yield opportunities. This means investors holding global equities can still flexibly deploy capital across other crypto strategies without locking up funds, thereby enhancing overall portfolio turnover.
Nearly 100 Major Stocks and ETFs to Go Live
As part of the rollout, Bitget will initially list close to a hundred leading US stocks and ETFs, including Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, and the QQQ ETF. Investors can seamlessly trade these global blue-chip assets from a single Bitget account without opening multiple brokerage accounts, while enjoying the strategic flexibility unique to the crypto space. This expansion marks a significant step in bridging traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem.
