Bitget Launches Transfer Feature for 3,000 US Stocks and ETFs

Digital asset exchange Bitget has introduced rToken Stock Transfer, a feature allowing investors to move eligible US-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds into its platform as tokenized rTokens. The service supports more than 3,000 equity assets through a two-step transfer process, converting traditional shares into digital assets deposited into spot accounts.

The feature aims to bridge traditional equities with crypto services. Deposited shares move from external brokerage accounts through an omnibus account at Alpaca, where Bitget converts them into rTokens. These tokenized holdings can then be deployed across spot trading, margin products, lending, and yield instruments. Incoming transfers are free and take roughly 10 business days, though outbound transfers carry a fee. Prior to this launch, Bitget reported that assets under management for its rToken ecosystem reached roughly $114 million, with total transactions crossing two million.

Investors will be watching how widely traders adopt tokenized real-world assets for trading collateral and collateralized loans. To encourage initial adoption, Bitget is offering $1 million in promotional rewards paid in SpaceX stock token (rSPCX) for qualifying deposits starting at $5,000. In market trading, the Bitget Token (CRYPTO:BGBUSD) rose 1.17% to $1.964 following the news.
