Bitget Introduces Unified Margin Framework for Institutional Investors

Bitget has unveiled a guide for institutional clients on how to use cryptocurrency collateral in combination with tokenized stocks within a unified margin framework. The focus is on rToken tokens, which allow investors to work with cryptocurrencies, shares of American companies, and borrowed funds without constantly transferring funds between different accounts.

rTokens are RWA tokens from the Reality platform, supported by Bitget. Their tickers receive the prefix 'r', for example, rTSLA corresponds to Tesla shares, and rAAPL to Apple shares. The underlying assets are held by a broker registered with FINRA and participating in the SIPC insurance program.

The proposed schemes are built around the Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), which accepts 370 assets as collateral, including 100 American stocks. This means investors don't need to split their capital across separate accounts.
