Bitget has expanded its unified account to support tokenized U.S. stock tokens as collateral, building on its July 16 launch that initially covered 100 such tokens. The move integrates equity exposure directly into digital asset trading strategies, giving traders access to more than 370 assets in a single margin pool.
That architecture lets tokenized stocks serve as collateral alongside digital assets, eliminating the need to liquidate equity positions before opening futures trades.
Gracy Chen, Bitget's chief executive, said the system gives stock holders a new set of tools: they can maintain exposure to underlying shares, collect cash dividends and post rTokens as margin or use them to borrow stablecoins. A stock position can now actively support another trade or unlock liquidity without being sold.
The system runs on Bitget's Reality protocol, a licensed real-world asset platform that issues the rTokens. Reality crossed $100 million in assets under management and $671 million in cumulative trading volume within its first month.
Bitget positions this unified account format as the third stage in exchange account structuring, following models that either isolated margin by asset or pooled only cryptocurrencies.
Supported tokenized stocks include rAAPL, rAMZN, rTSLA, rNVDA, rMSTR, rMETA, rGOOGL, rMSFT, rQQQ and rSPY. These rTokens cover major U.S. equities and ETFs and can now contribute to margin value in USDT-M Futures.
The core benefit is capital efficiency. Users no longer need to convert tokenized stock holdings to USDT before opening a futures position—the token stays in the account, with a portion of its value backing margin requirements.
The risks are real. Tokenized U.S. stocks move with underlying equity prices, not stablecoins. Collateral haircuts apply, funding fees adjust hourly based on supply and demand, and adverse moves in both the collateral and the futures position can accelerate liquidation.
Eligible collateral can qualify for discount rates up to 95 percent, depending on the asset and position size. Bitget currently supports 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs as collateral for USDT-margined futures.
