On June 2, Bitget officially announced the 2.0 upgrade of its spot stock token product. The core change is that these tokenized stocks are now issued by Reality, the platform's licensed real-world asset (RWA) protocol. The upgrade targets three dimensions: liquidity depth, asset transparency, and capital efficiency. Every stock token a user trades is now backed by a transparent on-chain protocol, replacing the previous off-chain ledger model.
Direct Link to Nasdaq and NYSE Liquidity
The most significant improvement lies in liquidity. Bitget's stock tokens now connect directly to global liquidity pools such as the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange, significantly enhancing order book depth and execution speed. When trading tokenized shares of Apple or Tesla, users will experience market depth and slippage closer to traditional securities markets. Alongside this upgrade, Bitget introduced a limited-time 50% fee discount, reducing the maker and taker fee to 0.05% for stock token trading, further lowering the cost barrier for global equity exposure.
1:1 Mapping of Dividends, Splits, and More
On the transparency side, all economic rights are faithfully mirrored on-chain. Stock dividends are distributed directly to user accounts as equivalent tokens, while cash dividends are automatically converted to USDT at the prevailing rate and credited instantly. Corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are synchronized to the on-chain tokens without any user intervention. This ensures that holders enjoy the exact same economic benefits as direct stockholders, resolving the common delays and ambiguities seen in earlier tokenized stock products.
Stock Tokens as Margin, Unlocking Multiple Product Lines
The upgrade also brings a leap in capital efficiency. Stock tokens can now be used as collateral within Bitget’s unified account, enabling users to participate in futures trading without selling their equity positions. These assets are also fully integrated with core platform features such as grid trading bots, copy trading systems, and staking or lending services. For investors who want to hold global stocks while maintaining the flexibility to trade other instruments on margin, this setup greatly improves fund utilization.
The initial batch covers nearly 100 blue-chip US stocks and ETFs, including Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, and the QQQ ETF, providing a comprehensive gateway to U.S. equities for crypto-native users.
