Bitget tokenized equity collateral futures go live with 15 stocks

On June 4, 2026, Bitget launched a feature allowing users to utilize 15 tokenized equities and ETFs as collateral for USDT-margined futures trading. This update, integrated into Bitget’s Unified Trading Account, enables traders to maintain positions in assets like rAAPL, rTSLA, and rNVDA while simultaneously using them as margin for derivatives. By eliminating the need to liquidate holdings into a settlement currency, the platform reduces capital friction and enhances liquidity management for active traders. The collateralized assets are supported by Bitget’s Reality infrastructure, a compliance-focused system launched in May that links rTokens to licensed broker-dealers and traditional market systems. This development marks a significant shift in the RWA market by moving tokenized securities beyond simple buy-and-hold use cases into active, functional roles within derivatives trading. By integrating traditional equity exposure directly into crypto-native margin frameworks, Bitget is bridging the gap between legacy finance and blockchain-based trading environments. This evolution demonstrates a growing trend where crypto exchanges prioritize capital efficiency by allowing cross-asset utility for tokenized real-world assets.
