Bitget Wallet offers tokenized US stocks and ETFs

Bitget Wallet said it has integrated Reality’s tokenized-asset protocol, allowing the wallet’s reported 100 million users to access more than 1,700 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds through self-custodial wallets on Arbitrum and Morph. The Sept. 15 rollout brings assets tracking companies such as Nvidia, Tesla, Apple and Amazon, alongside ETFs including SPY and QQQ, into a wallet interface usually used for cryptocurrency and decentralized-finance activity.

The integration places stock-linked tokens alongside onchain swaps, stablecoins and DeFi tools, reducing the number of steps required for users who want exposure to U.S.-listed securities without moving funds through a conventional brokerage interface. Bitget Wallet said its Bitget Wallet X aggregation service has connected to rToken liquidity, while its API is available to third-party partners that want to incorporate the assets into their own products.

Reality’s rTokens are designed to track more than 1,700 U.S. stocks and ETFs, a catalogue the company says represents 95% of total U.S. equity-market trading volume. Access to individual assets remains subject to eligibility and applicable restrictions.

Underlying shares held through a broker-dealer

Reality said every rToken is backed one-for-one by corresponding U.S. shares held at Alpaca Securities, a FINRA-registered and SIPC-member broker-dealer. The protocol said an independent third-party CPA firm attests to reserves daily, with reporting provided through The Network Firm.

That structure separates the product from synthetic stock tokens, where prices may be generated through derivatives, collateral pools or issuer-managed hedging rather than an identified share held in custody. An rToken gives users an onchain representation linked to an underlying asset, while the shares themselves remain in the custody arrangement described by Reality.

Reality, which is part of the Bitget ecosystem, said it works with licensed brokers to buy and custody the underlying securities before issuing corresponding onchain rights. The company also said that orders placed during U.S. market hours are routed to liquidity associated with Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange rather than relying exclusively on decentralized liquidity pools.

Routing stock-token orders to underlying market liquidity could narrow the gap between the token’s price and the price of the tracked security, particularly for heavily traded names such as rNVDA, rTSLA, rAAPL, rAMZN, rSPY and rQQQ. It also leaves trading tied in part to the operating schedule of U.S. equity markets, even when tokens can move between wallets outside those hours.

Dividend and corporate-action mechanics

Bitget Wallet said users eligible for dividends would receive distributions in stablecoins directly in their wallets. Reality said corporate actions, including stock splits, would be applied automatically to relevant rToken positions.

These operational details often determine whether tokenized equities function as more than price-tracking instruments. A stock split, for example, changes the number of shares held and the per-share price but does not alter the underlying economic value. Applying the action automatically is intended to keep the token position aligned with the corporate event affecting the custody-held shares.

The protocol also envisions rTokens being used in onchain applications, including as collateral and within other DeFi services. That potential utility creates a different set of risks from holding a stock through a standard broker: a tokenized position used as collateral can face liquidation rules, smart-contract risk and price-oracle dependence, even if the underlying security is held in a regulated custody structure.

Wallet demand expands beyond cryptocurrency swaps

Bitget Wallet said trading volume in real-world assets on its platform rose 27% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2026. Europe, South Asia and Southeast Asia were among its leading markets for the category, according to the company.

The wallet has focused on making tokenized assets available across multiple blockchain networks, beginning this rollout with Arbitrum and Morph. Arbitrum is an Ethereum scaling network, while Morph is a blockchain network aimed at consumer-facing applications. Deploying on both gives Reality access to different user bases and transaction environments rather than concentrating issuance on a single chain.

The arrangement also extends Reality’s distribution through a large wallet provider instead of requiring users to find the protocol through a specialist tokenization platform. For wallets, stock and ETF tokens offer a way to retain users whose activity might otherwise move between crypto applications and traditional brokerage services.

A regulated wrapper does not remove market risk

Tokenized stock access does not change the underlying exposure to equity-market moves. A holder of rNVDA remains exposed to Nvidia’s share-price performance; a holder of rSPY remains exposed to the S&P 500-linked ETF it tracks. Stablecoin dividend payments and onchain settlement may alter the delivery mechanism, but they do not shield users from stock-market declines, token liquidity conditions or the operational risks of the issuing protocol.

Users also need to distinguish between token ownership and direct shareholder status. Reality describes rTokens as onchain rights corresponding to underlying shares it holds through brokers. The precise rights attached to a token, including treatment of voting, dividends, transfers and redemptions, depend on the issuer’s terms and the rules applicable to each user’s jurisdiction.

For Bitget Wallet, the integration turns a self-custodial crypto wallet into a distribution channel for regulated, custody-backed equity exposure. For Reality, it supplies a large embedded audience and connects tokenized shares to DeFi-oriented tools, where the assets could be traded, transferred or potentially pledged as collateral without leaving the onchain environment.
