Bitget has officially launched Stocks 2.0, an upgraded stock-trading ecosystem that allows eligible users to trade over 10,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs using stablecoins directly on its platform. The integration is a major step in Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) vision, bridging crypto and traditional equities within a single unified account.
The new offering consists of three core components: Stock+ for direct ownership of real U.S. shares executed via licensed brokers, rTokens — tokenized real-world assets mapping to stock economics — and U.S. stock options, making Bitget the first major crypto exchange to introduce this feature. Users can fund trades with supported digital assets like USDC and USDT, bypassing fiat-only bank transfers, and purchase fractional shares as low as 0.0001 of a share. Stock+ also provides brokerage-style tools, real-time market data, extended trading hours, and handles dividends and corporate actions. rTokens, issued by the regulated platform Reality in collaboration with Bitget, cover over 500 tokenized stocks including names like Tesla, NVIDIA, and SpaceX, with daily proof-of-reserves and $50M+ in AUM at launch.
Bitget simultaneously released its Q2 2026 Transparency Report, revealing the rapid cross-asset rotation taking place on the exchange. Spot trading activity showed a sharp increase in equity participation: stocks accounted for just around 1% of activity in April and May but climbed above 3% on several days in June, peaking at 6.48%. Meanwhile, precious metals consistently captured 40–55% of activity on busy market days, while crypto remained the backbone. This shift highlights how users are increasingly diversifying across asset classes within the Bitget ecosystem. CEO Gracy Chen commented that the company expects 10% of all major global asset classes on Bitget to be tokenized by 2030, up from the current 0.5–1%.
To encourage adoption, Bitget is offering a stock transfer fast-track plan (reimbursing up to 10,000 USDT in fees) and running a July promotion where new Stock+ users can earn Micron stock rewards from a 100,000 USDT pool. Trading fees start at 0.1% with a 50% promotional discount through August 31, 2026.
