Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its July 2026 Transparency Report, highlighting a month of increased activity around tokenized financial products, alongside further development of its trading infrastructure and institutional services.
One of the strongest signals came from rToken, which passed $100 million in assets under management only five weeks after launch. By July 6, AUM had reached roughly $114 million, while cumulative trading volume climbed to $671.37 million.
More than 100,000 users traded rTokens during the period. Bitget also reported an 18-fold increase in daily trading-user penetration compared with the launch period. Among users making their first rToken purchase, 42.87% added to their positions within seven days.
The figures suggest that activity around tokenized assets is extending beyond initial experimentation, with a growing portion of users returning to the market and increasing their exposure.
Liquidity becomes key differentiator
Several industry reports published during July also assessed Bitget's position in the broader market.
CryptoRank's research found that Bitget recorded the lowest slippage for large tokenized-equity transactions among the exchanges included in its analysis. The platform also registered the highest balanced displayed liquidity within a 50-basis-point range.
Separate research from CoinGlass placed Bitget second globally for ETH liquidity depth, with $81.37 million in order-book depth, and fourth for BTC liquidity depth. TokenInsight, meanwhile, estimated that Bitget processed close to $70 billion in TradFi perpetual trading volume during the second quarter of 2026.
"Tokenized assets are only as strong as the market behind them. Investors don’t care how many assets an exchange lists if they can't trade them efficiently," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "DeFiLlama latest research shows that Bitget delivers the deepest liquidity and execution for tokenized equities among the exchanges evaluated. As adoption grows, that's what will decide which platforms investors continue to trust."
Tokenized assets move into collateral and AI
Bitget's July activity extended beyond trading volumes. The exchange added more than 100 tokenized U.S. equities as collateral within its Unified Trading Account, giving users another way to incorporate tokenized securities into broader trading strategies.
The company also introduced GetAgent Playbook, extending its AI-based trading tools into tokenized investing. An institutional cross-asset collateral playbook was released during the month as well, examining ways institutions can combine crypto and tokenized assets to improve capital efficiency.
These developments point toward a broader shift in how Bitget approaches tokenized markets. Rather than treating tokenized securities as a separate trading category, the exchange is incorporating them into collateral, portfolio management and automated investment infrastructure.
Bitget Wallet also reached a new milestone in July, surpassing 100 million users worldwide. During the month, it expanded stablecoin payment infrastructure and added integrations aimed at increasing access to tokenized assets. Among the developments were connections involving Robinhood Chain and Assetback.
The expansion comes as Bitget increasingly positions its wallet and exchange products as interconnected components of a broader digital finance ecosystem.
Bitget also continued its Blockchain4Youth initiative in partnership with UNICEF's Game Changers Coalition. The program expanded from eight to 11 countries, broadening its educational focus on blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and financial literacy.
The initiative represents a parallel part of Bitget's expansion strategy, with the company seeking to increase familiarity with emerging financial technologies alongside the development of new products and infrastructure.
Broader push Into tokenized finance
Bitget's July report presents tokenization as an increasingly integrated part of its wider trading ecosystem rather than an isolated product category.
The rapid growth of rToken, expanding use of tokenized equities as collateral and the addition of AI-powered investment tools all point toward a model in which digital and traditional assets can be managed within the same infrastructure.
As tokenized securities continue to develop, liquidity, execution and the ability to use these assets across different financial applications are likely to become increasingly important. Bitget's July results suggest the exchange is positioning its infrastructure around that broader convergence.
