- Bitget launches Cross-Asset Unified Account, combining crypto and tokenized stocks in one margin pool.
- The rollout includes 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, including Apple, Amazon, Tesla, and SPY.
- Bitget CEO says tokenized stocks can match crypto’s flexibility, improving capital efficiency.
Bitget has launched what it describes as the crypto industry’s first Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), enabling users to access more than 370 eligible assets, including 100 tokenized U.S. stocks (rTokens), within a single margin pool.
The new feature expands unified margin beyond cryptocurrencies by allowing tokenized equities to serve as collateral alongside digital assets.
Unified Margin Expands Beyond Crypto
According to Bitget, the Cross-Asset Unified Account represents the latest evolution in trading account architecture. It follows earlier models that first isolated the margin by asset before introducing unified crypto collateral.
The new system extends that concept to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), allowing eligible tokenized U.S. stocks to function within the same capital framework as cryptocurrencies. This enables users to deploy both crypto and tokenized equities as margin without moving funds across multiple accounts.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the innovation is aimed at improving capital efficiency by making tokenized stocks as flexible as crypto assets. She said,
<blockquote> “Bringing stocks onchain is the first step but the real breakthrough comes when those assets can work with the same flexibility as crypto. Capital efficiency is one of the principles behind UEX, and the Cross-Asset UTA puts that idea into practice.” <blockquote>
Tokenized Stocks Gain Additional Utility
Under the new account model, eligible rTokens can perform multiple functions simultaneously. Users can retain exposure to the underlying U.S. equities, receive applicable cash dividends, use the assets as collateral for futures and margin trading, or pledge them to borrow stablecoins without closing their positions.
The initial rollout supports 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, including Apple (rAAPL), Amazon (rAMZN), Meta (rMETA), Tesla (rTSLA), Alphabet (rGOOGL), Nvidia (rNVDA), Microsoft (rMSFT), SPDR S&P 500 ETF (rSPY), Invesco QQQ Trust (rQQQ), JPMorgan (rJPM), Walmart (rWMT), Visa (rV), and MicroStrategy (rMSTR).
Eligible collateral receives discount rates of up to 95%, depending on the specific asset and position size, while borrowing rates adjust hourly based on market supply and demand.
Builds on Bitget’s Growing Tokenized Asset Business
The launch follows the expansion of Bitget’s tokenized equities ecosystem through Reality, its licensed real-world asset protocol.
According to the exchange, rToken assets have surpassed $100 million in assets under management within the first month of launch while generating more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume.
Bitget said it plans to expand the number of assets supported within the Cross-Asset Unified Account as it continues developing its Universal Exchange ecosystem, which combines crypto assets with tokenized traditional financial products under a single trading experience.
