Crypto exchange Bitrue has significantly expanded its futures platform by launching 40 tokenized real-world asset (RWA) instruments, offering leverage of up to 100x. Announced on April 2, 2026, the new products provide round-the-clock access to tokenized versions of major blue-chip stocks, a key U.S. equity index, and precious metals, all paired with the Tether (USDT) stablecoin for settlement.
The initial lineup includes high-profile assets such as NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Amazon (AMZN), the NASDAQ-100 index (NAS100), and tokenized gold (XAU) and silver (XAG). These are offered as futures contracts on Bitrue's TradFi Arena, not as direct ownership instruments, meaning they do not confer ownership rights, dividends, or shareholder privileges.
The launch capitalizes on the surging RWA market, which, according to data from RWA.xyz, now exceeds $27.49 billion in value globally with over 700,000 registered users. Bitrue's Chief Marketing Officer, Adam O'Neill, stated, "RWA demand continues to be a key driver of industry growth in 2026, with retail investors increasingly seeking to diversify their portfolios beyond crypto and into traditional asset classes."
A major selling point is the accessibility and leverage. Users can trade these tokenized futures 24/7 directly from their USDT balance without needing a traditional brokerage account, with trades executed within seconds. Leverage ranges from 50x to 100x depending on the asset, significantly amplifying both potential gains and risks.
Alongside the futures launch, Bitrue introduced a borrowing feature where users can collateralize their tokenized gold and silver holdings to borrow USDT, unlocking liquidity while maintaining exposure to the underlying metals. To drive adoption, the exchange is running a two-week trading contest from April 2 to April 16 with a 100,000 USDT prize pool. Incentives include a 20 USDT bonus for new traders and zero-commission trading for users exceeding a daily volume of 10,000 USDT.
The offering is not available to users in the United States, the United Kingdom, and certain other restricted jurisdictions. Bitrue plans to add more tokenized assets in the coming months, signaling a continued push into the RWA sector.
