Bitget Expands Institutional Trading Horizons with rToken and Stock Perps

For institutions operating across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, traditional stock trading can be limiting due to Wall Street's schedule. However, crypto-based equity markets are starting to remove this limitation.

A report by TokenInsight showed that monthly perpetual volume on crypto exchanges climbed from $52 billion in January 2026 to $268 billion in June, while equity perpetual volume alone jumped from $45 billion in May to $141 billion in June. Bitget ranked second in overall perpetual volume during Q2 with roughly $69 billion and an 11.01% market share.

Bitget approaches this market through two complementary products: rToken for tokenized Spot exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs, and Stock Perps for continuous derivatives trading, hedging, and long/short strategies. Together, they give institutions a way to move beyond traditional trading hours while combining 24/7 access with deep order books, API execution, and cross-asset capital efficiency.
