Bitget Launches Industry-First Cross-Asset Unified Account Supporting 100 US Stock Tokens As Collateral
In Brief
Bitget launches Cross-Asset Unified Account, combining tokenized equities and crypto assets in one margin pool to improve capital efficiency.
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget announced the launch of what it describes as the industry’s first Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), introducing a trading framework that places more than 370 eligible assets, including 100 tokenized U.S. stocks (rTokens), within a single margin pool. The development expands the concept of unified margin beyond cryptocurrencies, enabling tokenized equities and digital assets to be managed within the same account structure.
The launch reflects the growing convergence of cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets, where tokenized assets are increasingly expected to serve functions beyond simple ownership representation. According to Bitget, the new account model is designed to increase asset utility by allowing different asset classes to support multiple financial activities from a unified capital base.
The company describes the Cross-Asset Unified Account as the latest stage in the evolution of exchange account architecture. Earlier models separated margin across individual assets and positions, often resulting in fragmented capital allocation. Subsequent systems introduced unified margin pools for multiple cryptocurrencies, allowing a single collateral pool to support various crypto positions. The new framework extends this approach to tokenized equities and other real-world assets, enabling them to operate alongside digital assets within one margin system.
“Bringing stocks onchain is the first step but the real breakthrough comes when those assets can work with the same flexibility as crypto,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget in a written statement. “Capital efficiency is one of the principles behind UEX, and the Cross-Asset UTA puts that idea into practice. A stock position should be able to hold value, support another trade, or unlock liquidity instead of sitting in isolation,” she added.
Under the new system, eligible rTokens can be used for multiple purposes while maintaining exposure to the underlying equities. In addition to receiving dividend distributions where applicable, holders can use tokenized stocks as margin for futures and margin trading or pledge them as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The framework is intended to allow a single asset to support a broader range of portfolio management and trading strategies without requiring the position to be closed.
Expansion of Tokenized Equities Utility
The initial rollout includes 100 tokenized U.S. equities representing major publicly traded companies and exchange-traded funds, such as
- rAAPL
- rAMZN
- rMETA
- rTSLA
- rGOOGL
- rNVDA
- rMSFT
- rQQQ
- rSPY
- rJPM
- rWMT
- rV
- rMSTR
According to the company, eligible collateral may receive discount rates of up to 95%, depending on the asset type and position size, while borrowing costs are determined by market conditions and updated hourly.
The launch follows the recent growth of Bitget’s tokenized asset ecosystem. The company stated that rToken, the real-world asset issued through the licensed Reality protocol, surpassed $100 million in assets under management within its first month and generated more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume. By integrating tokenized equities into the same capital framework as cryptocurrencies, Bitget aims to expand their role beyond market access, enabling users to trade, borrow, and manage different asset classes through a single account structure.
The company said it plans to broaden the range of assets supported within the Cross-Asset Unified Account as it continues developing its Universal Exchange model, which seeks to connect digital asset and traditional financial markets through a unified trading environment.
