Bitget Wallet has integrated xStocks infrastructure to provide its 90 million users with access to over 130 tokenized equities and ETFs. This expansion increases the platform's total RWA offerings to more than 300 products, including commodities and precious metals. Since its 2025 launch, the tokenized equity suite has processed over $30 billion in transaction volume, highlighting significant demand for on-chain traditional financial exposure. The integration utilizes xStocks, a platform acquired by Kraken parent company Payward through its purchase of Backed Finance in late 2025. Users benefit from zero trading fees and gasless execution while maintaining self-custody of their assets. Although restricted in jurisdictions like the U.S. and U.K., the move signals a broader trend of crypto wallets bridging traditional market access with decentralized infrastructure. With xStocks currently holding approximately $391.5 million in represented asset value, this partnership strengthens its competitive position against market leaders like Ondo.
