Bitget Stocks Research Shows Tokenized Equities Race Heating Up With 140% Rise in 2026

A recent research report from Bitget highlights a significant expansion in the tokenized equity market, which saw its active market capitalization grow by over 140% to reach $1.976 billion. The data indicates that Reality rTokens, a specific product offering, generated $1.16 billion in spot trading volume between June 2 and July 19, with retail traders driving 95.1% of this activity. Semiconductors and technology stocks emerged as the most popular assets, accounting for the vast majority of trading volume. Bitget attributes its competitive standing to superior execution quality, noting that its rTokens maintained the lowest median bid-ask spreads and deepest liquidity among tested markets. The report emphasizes that as custody and reserve models become standardized across the industry, infrastructure and liquidity will become the primary differentiators for platforms. By offering both regulated brokerage-backed Stock+ products and flexible, DeFi-integrated rTokens, Bitget is attempting to capture both traditional and crypto-native investor segments. This growth underscores a broader shift in the RWA sector toward prioritizing high-performance trading environments over simple asset availability.
