Bitget, a leading name in cryptocurrency exchanges, has recently unveiled its innovative Stock+ feature as part of its Stocks 2.0 ecosystem. This advancement allows users to purchase real US stocks using digital assets like USDC, effectively bridging the gap between the world of cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets. With this launch, Bitget aims to create a seamless trading environment where users can navigate between digital assets and equities without the customary barriers that have historically existed.
Access to US equities has long depended on local brokers and specific infrastructure, often requiring lengthy approval processes and bank transfers. Stock+ presents a transformative alternative that enables users to fund their accounts with digital currencies, convert these assets into USDC, and invest in publicly traded companies through a streamlined experience tailored for crypto enthusiasts.
Notably, Stock+ offers genuine ownership of underlying shares through regulated brokers, which differs significantly from synthetic products or derivatives. This means users are entitled to benefits such as cash dividends and stock split adjustments, while also being able to trade synchronously with US market hours, including pre-market and after-hours sessions.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized the importance of merging access and ownership in this evolving financial landscape. She stated, “Access is important, but ownership matters too. Giving users access to real ownership of US-listed companies is how we actually bridge financial markets.” This vision aligns with Bitget’s strategy of merging crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and equities into a cohesive platform.
In addition to enabling investments, Stock+ allows users to transfer existing US equity holdings from participating brokers, which facilitates the consolidation of investments into one unified portfolio. This feature reflects Bitget’s commitment to offering flexible solutions that enhance the user experience.
Following a noteworthy upgrade in June 2026 to its stock-related services, which included the launch of Reality—a regulated real-world asset protocol—and tokenized stocks, Bitget has continued to expand its offerings. Currently, the platform has made available over 500 prominent US stocks and ETFs, including notable names like SpaceX, Tesla, and NVIDIA. The total Assets Under Management (AUM) for its tokenized stocks have surpassed $50 million, indicating strong interest from investors.
To celebrate the introduction of Stock+, Bitget is offering trading fees starting from a competitive 0.1%, with a promotional discount of 50% available until the end of August 2026.
Bitget, servicing over 125 million users, provides access to a diverse array of assets including 2 million crypto tokens, over 100 tokenized stocks, and commodities like gold. The platform is dedicated to enhancing trading capabilities through AI-driven assistance while fostering crypto adoption via collaborations with notable entities such as LALIGA and MotoGP™. Furthermore, Bitget is committed to supporting blockchain education in partnership with UNICEF, targeting to educate 1.1 million individuals by 2027.
As Bitget navigates the evolving financial landscape, it continues to set the benchmark in the tokenized traditional finance market, boasting the industry’s lowest fees and high liquidity across 150 regions worldwide.
