Bitget launches Stocks 2.0 tokenized equities

Bitget on June 2 rolled out Stocks 2.0, the latest version of its tokenized-equities offering, extending a push it has been making for months to bring listed stocks and exchange-traded funds into its crypto trading system. The launch follows Bitget’s June 1 announcement of Reality, a licensed platform the company said will issue on-chain representations of publicly traded equities and ETFs. Bitget has framed the combined rollout as part of its “Universal Exchange” strategy, which aims to put crypto, tokenized assets and traditional market exposure on one platform. (markets.financialcontent.com) The company’s public materials say the product is aimed at eligible global users rather than U.S. retail investors. ### How does Stocks 2.0 fit into Bitget’s broader tokenized-stock push? Bitget had already been building tokenized-stock products before Tuesday’s rollout. In September 2025, Bitget and Bitget Wallet introduced access to more than 100 tokenized assets through Ondo Finance, and in March 2026 the exchange expanded spot trading with additional tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs and precious metals. March 17, 2026 marked one of the clearest earlier steps. In that announcement, Bitget said users could trade names including Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and AMD through a USDT-based spot account, with the assets available on a 24/7 basis. Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode said at the time that the expansion brought tokenized equities alongside crypto on the platform.

Reality was announced by Bitget on June 1 as a dedicated real-world-asset platform focused on tokenizing traditional financial instruments. Bitget said Reality is the issuing platform for “rTokens,” which it described as on-chain representations of publicly traded equities and ETFs. (bitget.com) Bitget said each rToken is backed 1:1 by real shares held with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected U.S. broker-dealer. The company also said independent third-party auditors would provide a live proof-of-assets dashboard and CPA-level audit reports, while corporate actions such as dividends, cash distributions and stock splits would be matched through what it called a deterministic mapping engine. (bitget.com) ### What is Bitget promising users in practical terms? Bitget’s earlier tokenized-stock materials emphasized around-the-clock trading, fractional-style access and the ability to hold equity-linked exposure inside a crypto-native account. (markets.financialcontent.com) In its March expansion, the company said users could buy and sell tokenized equities and ETFs continuously rather than during standard exchange hours. In its Bitget Wallet materials, the company described tokenized stocks as blockchain tokens backed 1:1 by real shares and promoted fractional share ownership. June 1 materials for Reality added another layer. Bitget said tokenized equities could be used as unified-account margin and would be compatible with grid trading, copy trading, staking and lending products inside the Bitget ecosystem. (markets.financialcontent.com) Gracy Chen, Bitget’s chief executive, said the launch aligned with her view that by 2030 nearly 10% of financial assets could exist in tokenized form. ### Which partners has Bitget named around custody and infrastructure? Ondo Finance has been one of the most visible named partners in Bitget’s tokenized-equities buildout. Bitget said in 2025 that Ondo’s tokenized stocks and ETFs would be available to global crypto traders through its platform, and March’s spot-market expansion again identified Ondo Global Markets as the provider behind a new batch of listed products. (bitget.com) Bitget has also cited third-party custody relationships in adjacent parts of its business. In a February 2024 report on custodial accounts, the company said those accounts had been launched in August 2023 through collaborations with Copper and Cobo. Bitget’s June 1 Reality release separately said backing shares are held with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected U.S. broker-dealer, though the broker-dealer was not named in the material reviewed. (markets.financialcontent.com) ### What comes next after the June 2 launch? June 1 is the date on Bitget’s Reality announcement, and June 2 is the date tied to Stocks 2.0 in social and secondary coverage reviewed for this story. Bitget said Reality will serve as its dedicated real-world-asset arm and that tokenized equities will be integrated into the exchange’s broader trading, margin and yield products. (bitget.com) The next public milestones are likely to come through Bitget’s announcement channels and product pages, where the company has been posting successive tokenized-stock expansions since 2025.
