Bitget launched Stocks 2.0 on June 2, 2026, adding 36 tokenized US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 and settled with USDT, per the exchange's announcement.
Crypto News
Bitget launched an upgraded tokenized stock product called Stocks 2.0 on June 2, 2026. The update adds dozens of new stock-linked assets and ties them more closely to real stock market liquidity compared to the exchange's earlier offering.

The product is issued by Reality, a licensed real-world asset issuance platform, with Bitget providing strategic support, trading access, and asset security within its ecosystem.
Bitget said the update was built around three changes. These include deeper access to real stock market liquidity, one-to-one economic mapping between each token and its underlying share, and wider use of stock tokens across the exchange's margin, strategy, and yield tools.
What Changed With Stocks 2.0
The first batch of Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets, covering equities and exchange-traded funds such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and QQQ. Access to these products depends on a user's home country, identity verification status, and other eligibility rules set by the exchange.
Each token in the new lineup is called an rToken. The tokens are built around one-to-one deterministic economic mapping. This means that each rToken is designed to track its underlying share's value directly rather than through an algorithm. Bitget said the product taps into trading depth from the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, which the company says supports faster trade execution inside its app.
When a company pays out an eligible dividend, Bitget passes that payment to rToken holders through their existing token balance. Bitget's tokenized stocks still provide economic exposure rather than direct share ownership. Holders generally do not appear on the underlying company's shareholder register or receive voting rights, a limit shared across most tokenized stock products in the industry.
The rTokens are not the only stock product on the exchange. Bitget also offers stock perpetual futures, which let users trade with USDT margin and leverage of up to 100x depending on the product and risk tier, supporting both long and short positions with no expiry date. Bitget applies spot-style fees to tokenized stocks and futures-style fees, which may include funding rates, to stock perps.

How The Stock Push Builds on Past Growth
Trades on Stocks 2.0 settle in USDT rather than US dollars, which removes the need for a separate overseas brokerage account or a dedicated dollar balance. At launch, Bitget applied a promotional maker and taker fee of 0.05% to rToken trades, available through August 31, 2026, subject to eligibility and campaign terms.
The rTokens can also be used inside Bitget's unified trading account, where eligible holders can apply them as margin or connect them to copy trading and yield products. This setup lets users keep stock exposure active while using the same balance for other trades on the exchange.
The Stocks 2.0 launch builds on an existing tokenized stock business at Bitget. The exchange's cumulative tokenized stock spot volume had surpassed $1 billion by January 2026, and it accounted for about 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025.
Bitget is not the only exchange building out stock-linked products. Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, opened U.S. equities trading to eligible non-U.S. users on June 1, 2026, giving access to more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs with zero commission and fractional shares starting at $5.
