Bitget Wallet, a prominent everyday finance app, has significantly upgraded its platform to enhance real-world asset (RWA) trading capabilities. The latest enhancements include tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as well as the introduction of stock-linked perpetual futures. This move is designed to solidify Bitget Wallet’s position as a self-custodial gateway to global onchain equity markets. This expansion comes at a time when the market capitalization for tokenized Treasuries has surpassed $8.6 billion, signaling a growing acceptance of RWAs in both traditional and decentralized finance.
The updates stem from Bitget Wallet’s partnership with Ondo Global Markets, which now allows users to trade more than 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs backed by regulated custodians. Key features include 24/5 market access, instant onchain settlement, and the elimination of the need for brokerage accounts or geographic restrictions. This development is especially relevant in emerging markets, where access to U.S. capital markets is often limited, despite the widespread use of stablecoins.
As the landscape evolves, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries are being increasingly recognized as accessible entry points for long-term investment strategies. Bitget Wallet emphasizes that its mobile-first interface serves as a crucial distribution channel for these financial instruments. The emphasis on direct, self-custodial access highlights a desire among users for greater control and transparency over their investments, free from the constraints posed by intermediaries.
Jamie Elkaleh, the Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget Wallet, stated, “Users want direct, self-custodial access to global markets without intermediaries or geographic limitations.” He noted that the integration of tokenized equities at the ownership layer, along with stock-linked perpetual futures, offers users enhanced options for hedging and strategic investment.
The platform is rolling out its broader onchain equity program, which consists of two key components: a five-week holding initiative for tokenized stocks, running from November 19 to December 26, and a trading-volume competition from November 19 to November 28. Participants in these initiatives may earn weekly distributions in leading stock tokens and compete for a share of a USD 550,000 prize pool.
Bitget Wallet positions itself as a comprehensive solution aimed at simplifying everyday finance with crypto and currently serves over 80 million users. By providing a unified platform for buying, selling, trading, earning, and spending crypto, it maintains a focus on user security, backed by a $700 million protection fund. The company embodies a vision of making financial opportunities faster, fairer, and more accessible to everyone.
