As Nigerian investors increasingly seek diversified exposure to stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and precious metals, Bitget—Universal Exchange—has announced a significant expansion of its spot market. The platform is introducing a new series of Ondo Global Markets tokenized securities, which will integrate major U.S. equities, index ETFs, and precious metals into a single trading environment alongside digital assets.
This latest rollout aims to enhance Bitget’s multi-asset model, enabling users to trade both cryptocurrencies and traditional market instruments continuously within one USDT-based account. For traders focused on U.S. technology stocks and global indices, as well as opportunities in gold and digital assets, the expansion promises greater access to international markets through an intuitive interface built on blockchain technology. The move signifies the increasing convergence of crypto-native platforms and traditional market products.
Among the new offerings, users will find some of the most prominent names in global markets. The equities section includes well-known companies such as Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and AMD (AMD). Additionally, the update brings market exposure via index ETFs like SPY, IVV, QQQ, IWM, and ITOT, as well as commodity-linked assets such as IAU and SLV, allowing for direct access to gold and silver instruments through the same interface used for crypto trading.
This initiative builds upon an increasingly collaborative relationship between Bitget and Ondo, which has been expanding steadily over past months. In September 2025, Bitget and Bitget Wallet introduced over 100 tokenized assets via Ondo Finance. Recently, the collaboration was deepened further with the addition of 98 new tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. The traction in this category has been notable; Bitget reported that Ondo tokenized stock trading captured about 73% of the market share in early December, which later increased to approximately 89% within the same month, showcasing rising user demand for blockchain-based access to global markets. As a result, Ondo Global Markets has emerged as the largest tokenized stock provider worldwide.
One of the key advantages of these new spot listings is that they are designed for continuous trading access, unlike traditional market frameworks that depend on brokerage systems and restrict trading windows. Users will be able to buy and sell these assets 24/7 from Bitget’s spot trading page, enabling them to react to macroeconomic events, earnings news, and weekend market sentiments without having to wait for conventional exchanges to open.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, highlighted that market movements are increasingly unconstrained by time and date, and user expectations are shifting beyond the boundaries of cryptocurrency and traditional finance. She noted that this expansion with Ondo is designed to align with how modern traders operate.
Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, remarked that Bitget is now offering tokenized equities alongside cryptocurrencies, transforming into a comprehensive financial platform powered by Ondo. He emphasized that Ondo’s tokenized stocks, ETFs, and commodities will be available for trading across all Bitget platforms.
The latest rollout is a significant advancement in Bitget’s Global Alpha in One strategy and adds further depth to its Universal Exchange model, which aims to integrate cryptocurrencies, tokenized real-world assets, and wider market instruments all in one platform.
