Bitget Integrates 100 Tokenized U.S. Stocks into Unified Margin Pool

The exchange’s new framework incorporates rTokens—digital representations of equities backed 1:1 through regulated brokerage arrangements. Users can now pledge assets linked to companies like Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, and Microsoft as collateral for futures and margin trading. According to Bitget, this structure allows for collateral discount rates of up to 95%, with borrowing rates fluctuating hourly based on market demand. CEO Gracy Chen described the integration as a pivotal shift, arguing that stock positions should provide liquidity and support additional trades rather than remaining isolated within a user's account.

This expansion builds upon the Reality platform, which Bitget introduced in May to facilitate the issuance of these tokenized assets. The firm reports that the ecosystem has already surpassed $100 million in assets under management, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $671 million. While the consolidation offers increased flexibility, Bitget warns that using tokenized equities as collateral heightens account leverage. A decline in the value of these assets can trigger margin calls or liquidations, and borrowed capital remains subject to ongoing interest costs. The integration marks a broader industry push to move tokenized stocks beyond simple price speculation, positioning them as functional components of a sophisticated, multi-asset trading infrastructure.
