Bitget CEO Gracy said the exchange’s tokenized U.S. equities product, rToken, topped $100 million in assets under management about one month after its early-June launch, reaching $114 million as of July 6, with cumulative trading volume of $670 million. She said the figures came in above internal expectations and pointed to real demand from crypto users for exposure to traditional financial assets such as U.S. stocks and ETFs. Gracy said Bitget’s next focus is not simply listing more assets. Instead, the exchange wants to fold rToken into a broader cross-asset unified account under its Universal Exchange, or UEX, concept, allowing users to share margin across stocks and crypto, while adding lending, API access, and quantitative trading support. She said that is the area where Bitget still needs to close the gap with some larger platforms. On geographic expansion, Gracy said demand exists for products tied to markets outside the U.S., including Hong Kong and mainland China-related names, but Bitget is taking a more cautious stance because regulation for RWA and tokenized equities remains unclear in many jurisdictions. She also described how rToken connects to U.S. markets through Reality and broker Alpaca, how weekend trading relies on market makers, and why current exit options remain limited to selling rToken back into the market for USDT.

WallStreetBets says crypto’s next major opportunity is not creating more native tokens, but moving real-world assets onto blockchain rails and reshaping how they trade once they get there. The thesis starts with a simple observation: crypto users have already spent a decade getting used to round-the-clock markets, global liquidity, stablecoin settlement and trading systems that do not shut down at the end of the U.S. cash session. In that framework, tokenized stocks, funds, Treasuries, gold, oil and private-market exposure are less about digitizing ownership records and more about changing trading hours, distribution channels, collateral use and post-trade mobility. The piece points to a range of examples already in the market. Robinhood has rolled out more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for EU users and supports five-day continuous trading. Hyperliquid’s perpetual market is cited as evidence that traders consistently choose efficient, liquid venues that stay open 24/7. Ondo Finance, Synapse Protocol, Sunrise on Solana, Bitget’s stock-token push and Streamex’s yield-bearing gold product GLDY are presented as signs that the industry is moving from the question of whether assets can be tokenized to whether tokenized products can keep users, sustain liquidity and plug into broader onchain financial activity. In WallStreetBets’ view, the real test is not the token itself, but whether a full trading and value-accrual market forms around it.

Bitget has published its 2026 Anti-Scam Month Report, outlining how fraud patterns changed across digital assets and broader multi-asset finance between July 2025 and June 2026. The report says scams are no longer confined to a single platform or asset class as users move beyond crypto into tokenized stocks, CFDs, staking, wallets, AI investment tools and real-world assets. According to Bitget’s security team, the platform blocked more than 150 million malicious requests during the period, identified over 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases and helped recover about $32.3 million tied to security incidents and scam activity. Bitget Research also said participation in two or more asset categories rose from under 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026. The report highlights AI-driven impersonation, staged social engineering, wallet approval abuse and malicious smart contracts as major threats, while arguing that faster coordination among exchanges, security researchers, regulators, law enforcement and users is becoming central to loss prevention and asset recovery.

Reality, a regulated real-world asset issuance platform backed by Bitget, said assets under management in its rToken product line have exceeded $50 million, according to ABMedia. The company said the figure marks an early milestone as demand for tokenized financial assets keeps rising. Reality launched officially in May 2026 and is designed to connect traditional financial markets with blockchain infrastructure. It said the platform is supported by licensed market participants, regulated broker relationships and independent custody arrangements, giving investors on-chain access to regulated real-world assets. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said each milestone in tokenization helps answer whether investors are ready to accept on-chain financial assets. She added that she had previously estimated that 10% of global financial assets could be tokenized by 2030, and said rToken reaching $50 million in AUM in less than a month suggests that timeline may arrive sooner than many expect. Reality also said rToken directly bridges into U.S. equity liquidity pools, supports institutional-grade execution, and uses a 1:1 deterministic engine to map corporate actions such as cash dividends and stock splits. The product has already been integrated into the Bitget ecosystem and can be used as collateral for crypto perpetual futures trading, with grid trading and lending planned next.

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.
