Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has expanded the functionality of its tokenized asset offering by enabling 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs to serve as margin assets within its Unified Trading Account and Multi-Asset Mode for USDT-M Futures.
The update, effective June 4 (UTC+8), allows traders to use selected tokenized equities as collateral while maintaining exposure to both traditional financial markets and crypto derivatives from a single account structure.
The move represents another step in the growing convergence between tokenized traditional assets and digital asset trading infrastructure.
The newly supported tokenized assets include representations of some of the world's largest publicly traded companies and ETFs:
Apple (rAAPL), Amazon (rAMZN), Meta (rMETA), Micron Technology (rMU), Tesla (rTSLA), Alphabet (rGOOGL), NVIDIA (rNVDA), Intel (rINTC), Microsoft (rMSFT), ASML (rASML), Broadcom (rAVGO), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (rTSM), along with tokenized ETF products tied to Invesco QQQ Trust (rQQQ) and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (rSPY), as well as rSNDK.
Previously used primarily for spot market exposure, these assets can now play a broader role within futures trading strategies.
Unified Trading Account Expands Capital Efficiency
Bitget's Unified Trading Account framework allows users to manage spot holdings, futures positions, and margin requirements through a consolidated system rather than maintaining separate accounts.
Under Multi-Asset Mode, eligible assets contribute toward margin requirements for USDT-M futures positions.
By adding tokenized stocks and ETFs to the list of accepted collateral assets, Bitget aims to improve capital efficiency by allowing traders to deploy existing holdings without first converting them into stablecoins or other settlement assets.
"As tokenized assets continue to gain traction across global markets, users are looking for more ways to utilize their holdings across different trading activities,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “Adding tokenized stocks and ETFs as margin assets increases flexibility within the Unified Trading Account and supports a more seamless experience across crypto and traditional market products."
Growing convergence between crypto and traditional markets
The announcement reflects a broader industry trend toward integrating traditional financial products into crypto-native trading environments.
As tokenized equities gain adoption, traders increasingly seek ways to move capital seamlessly across asset classes while avoiding unnecessary transfers, conversions, or fragmented account structures.
The ability to use tokenized stocks as futures collateral represents one example of how tokenization is expanding beyond simple investment exposure into broader financial utility.
The launch forms part of Bitget's wider Universal Exchange vision, which aims to combine cryptocurrencies, tokenized financial assets, derivatives, commodities, foreign exchange products, and precious metals within a single trading ecosystem.
According to the company, the platform currently supports more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, forex instruments, and precious metals, giving users access to a growing range of traditional market products alongside digital assets.
