Bitget has significantly expanded its Stock Dual Investment product, increasing the number of supported U.S. stock and ETF-linked tokens from six to more than 20. The update gives users access to a much wider range of assets while also introducing a new settlement schedule.

The expanded lineup includes tokens linked to some of the biggest names in technology, semiconductors, and crypto-related businesses. Users can now gain exposure to companies such as Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, AMD, Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor, Coinbase, Circle, and Strategy. The platform has also added leveraged semiconductor ETF products, giving traders more choices for different market views.

Bitget says additional assets may be added in the future, although no specific timeline has been announced.

Stock Dual Investment was first introduced in July with only six supported products. In less than a month, the offering has grown to more than 20 assets, showing the company’s increasing focus on tokenized traditional financial products.

The product allows users to choose between two strategies: Buy Low and Sell High.

With the Buy Low option, users deposit USDT and select a target price along with a settlement date. If the asset’s price falls to or below the chosen level at settlement, Bitget purchases the asset on the user’s behalf at that target price and pays the agreed interest. If the price remains above the target, the user receives the original USDT deposit plus interest without converting into the asset.

The Sell High strategy works in the opposite direction. Users deposit the stock-linked token and choose a target selling price. If the asset reaches or exceeds that level by settlement, Bitget converts the position at the selected price and adds interest. If the target is not reached, users keep their tokens and still receive interest according to the product’s terms.

Bitget reminds users that Dual Investment is not a principal-protected product. Depending on market conditions, investors may receive a different asset than the one they initially deposited, and the agreed conversion price may not always be as favorable as the market price at settlement. Funds also remain locked until the maturity date.

Alongside the product expansion, Bitget has changed the settlement time for stock-linked investments. Settlement will now occur at 11:30 p.m. UTC+8, which is approximately 90 minutes after the U.S. stock market opens.

According to the exchange, the change allows settlement prices to better reflect market activity during the important opening period of the trading day. Stock prices often move significantly after the market opens as investors react to earnings reports, company announcements, analyst updates, and overnight news.

The product itself is based on Bitget’s rTokens, which are linked to the value of real U.S. stocks and ETFs. However, these tokens are not the same as owning shares through a traditional brokerage account. Performance depends on settlement rules, target prices, and conversion conditions rather than direct stock ownership.

Bitget launched its Reality platform earlier this year to support tokenized stocks and ETFs. The company says these assets are backed by real shares held through regulated custody and brokerage arrangements. The platform also supports features such as dividend distributions and stablecoin-based minting and redemption.

The exchange has continued expanding the ecosystem around these products. In July, Bitget added more than 100 rTokens and hundreds of other assets to its unified margin system, allowing eligible holdings to be used as collateral. However, users remain exposed to risks such as margin calls and liquidation if asset values decline.

Despite offering exposure to U.S. securities, Bitget has not confirmed that the Stock Dual Investment product is available to U.S. residents. Access depends on local regulations and account eligibility requirements.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen previously stated that the company plans to establish a separate U.S. entity and secure the necessary licenses before entering the American market. She said the company intends to obtain regulatory approvals before offering services to U.S. customers.

Chen also revealed that tokenized traditional assets accounted for roughly 20% to 30% of Bitget’s spot trading volume during the previous quarter. More than half of the platform’s users reportedly invest in both stocks and cryptocurrencies, while tokenized stock products have generated over $100 million in activity.

To encourage participation, Bitget has launched two promotional campaigns.

The first is an invitation-only event running through Aug. 21. Eligible users who complete deposit requirements can receive up to 3,000 USDT in trading bonus vouchers. The bonuses cannot be withdrawn as cash and can only be used with selected Buy Low products.

The second campaign is open to both new and existing users and runs through Aug. 28. Participants who reach specific subscription levels can qualify for merchandise rewards, including gym bags, keyboards, suitcases, commemorative gold coins, and camping sets. Since the rewards are limited in quantity, they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

With a larger selection of stock-linked assets, updated settlement timing, and new promotional incentives, Bitget is continuing to expand its efforts to combine traditional financial markets with crypto-based trading products.
