Bitget Wallet Integrates Tokenized US Stocks
Bitget Wallet has expanded its services by integrating Reality's tokenized asset issuance protocol, allowing users to trade over 1,700 tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds directly from their crypto wallets without opening a foreign brokerage account. This integration bypasses the need for users to navigate additional platforms or convert funds off an exchange, providing seamless access to major US-listed companies like Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, and Amazon.
The tokenized assets, called rTokens, are backed one-to-one by the underlying US shares held at Alpaca Securities, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. Reserves are independently attested daily by a third-party CPA firm. During US market hours, orders route to real Nasdaq and NYSE liquidity, ensuring accurate pricing. Dividends on eligible rTokens are paid directly into users' wallets in stablecoins.
Bitget Wallet's COO, Alvin Kan, stated that 'Reality's model is different: real shares, real liquidity, real dividends, and users keep control of their keys throughout.' This integration deepens Bitget's push toward tokenized traditional assets, following the introduction of tokenized equities, ETF indexes, and precious metals via Ondo Global Markets. Users can now hold shares in American companies alongside their existing crypto holdings.
