Crypto exchange Bitget has expanded the use of its tokenized stocks and ETFs by allowing traders to use them as collateral for USDT-M futures trading.
The new feature became available on June 4 and allows users to use 15 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds to meet margin requirements while keeping their futures positions open. The list includes popular assets such as rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rTSLA, rNVDA, rMSFT, rGOOGL, rSPY, and rQQQ.
Under Bitget’s Unified Trading Account system, users can manage spot assets, futures positions, and margin requirements from a single account. With the addition of Multi-Asset Mode, traders no longer need to convert all of their holdings into one currency before using them as collateral for futures trading.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said demand for tokenized assets is growing as more investors look for ways to use them across different types of trading activities.
According to Chen, adding tokenized stocks and ETFs as margin assets gives users more flexibility and creates a smoother connection between traditional financial products and the crypto market.
The move is part of Bitget’s broader strategy to expand its tokenized asset ecosystem. Earlier this year, the company launched Reality, a regulated tokenization platform that offers blockchain-based tokens backed one-to-one by publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs held through regulated broker-dealers.
Bitget says Reality was created to solve some of the long-standing problems in tokenized markets, including liquidity challenges and the handling of dividends and corporate actions. The company also stated that these assets are supported by infrastructure connected to major U.S. stock exchanges and are backed by independent reserve attestations.
Several of the tokenized stocks now accepted as collateral come directly from the Reality platform. Instead of being limited to spot trading, users can now use them within Bitget’s futures trading system as well.
The company has also expanded into other tokenized investment products. In May, Bitget introduced a SpaceX-linked perpetual contract that allows traders to speculate on market expectations surrounding a potential SpaceX public listing without owning actual shares.
At the same time, Bitget Wallet expanded access to tokenized real-world assets by integrating infrastructure that offers more than 130 tokenized stocks and ETFs. The wallet now provides access to over 300 tokenized products, including equities, commodities, precious metals, foreign exchange products, and market indexes.
According to Bitget, trading volume for its tokenized equity products has exceeded $30 billion since 2025. The company says users can now access more than 100 tokenized financial products through its growing trading ecosystem.
As competition in the tokenized asset sector continues to increase, exchanges are racing to offer more ways for investors to combine traditional financial markets with blockchain-based trading.
