Bitget beefs up Stock Dual Investment with 20+ U.S. stocks and ETFs, shifts settlement to capture U.S. open Crypto exchange Bitget has rapidly expanded its Stock Dual Investment product from six offerings at launch to more than 20 U.S. stock- and ETF-linked tokens — a major broadening of its tokenized-stock lineup in under a month. The company also moved settlement for these products to 11:30 p.m. UTC+8 (around 11:00 a.m. EDT), aiming to account for price moves that occur during the opening minutes of U.S. markets. What’s new - Bitget’s expanded list now includes at least 21 underlying rTokens, covering major tech names, semiconductor plays, crypto-related firms and leveraged ETF exposures. The supported tickers include: rMU, rSNDK, rNVDA, rCRCL, rSPCX, rTSLA, rMRVL, rAMZN, rGOOGL, rMSTR, rINTC, rMETA, rAMD, rSOXL, rTSM, rAAPL, rCOIN, rAAOI, rSOXS, rNBIS and rWDC. - High-profile additions: Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Meta, AMD, Intel and TSMC. Crypto-linked exposures include Coinbase and Circle; rSOXL and rSOXS mirror leveraged semiconductor ETFs. - Bitget says it will add more underlying assets over time but provided no firm schedule. How Stock Dual Investment works - Buy Low: Users subscribe with USDT and set a target price and maturity. If the settlement price is at or below the target at expiry, Bitget converts the USDT into the rToken at the agreed price and pays interest. If the settlement price is above the target, users receive their USDT principal plus interest instead of the token. - Sell High: Users stake the designated rToken. If the settlement price meets or exceeds the target, Bitget converts the token at that price and credits interest; if not, the user retains the token and receives interest in the product’s settlement asset. - Variable APRs and available subscription amounts are shown on the product page at order time. Risk and product structure - Bitget labels Dual Investment a non-principal-guaranteed product. That means subscribers may receive a different asset at maturity and the agreed conversion price can be less favorable than the open market prior to settlement. Subscription funds are locked until maturity. - These products expose users to rTokens (tokenized economic exposure), not the same ownership rights as buying a U.S.-listed share through a conventional brokerage. Context on rTokens and margin - Bitget launched its Reality platform in May, saying rTokens are backed 1:1 by shares held via regulated brokerage/custody arrangements and that the system supports stablecoin-based minting/redemption and dividend distributions. - In July the exchange placed more than 100 rTokens and over 370 other eligible assets into a unified margin system, enabling borrowing and margin obligations but exposing collateral to margin-call and liquidation risk if values fall. U.S. availability and regulatory roadmap - Despite the U.S.-focused underlying assets, Bitget has not announced Stock Dual Investment availability for U.S. residents. Access depends on account eligibility and regional rules. - CEO Gracy Chen has said Bitget intends to form a U.S. entity and seek money-transmitter, derivatives and broker-dealer approvals before serving U.S. customers. The company has not set a launch date and said it will pursue U.S. entry with or without passage of the CLARITY Act. - Chen also noted tokenized traditional assets accounted for 20–30% of Bitget’s spot volume in the previous quarter, 52% of users held both stocks and crypto, and tokenized-stock products had accumulated more than $100 million. How the settlement time change helps - Moving settlement to 11:30 p.m. UTC+8 places the cut-off roughly 90 minutes after the U.S. cash market opens, allowing the process to reflect price moves generated by morning announcements, analyst actions and initial market reactions to overnight news. Bitget did not publish comparative data on outcomes under the old vs. new schedule. Promotions tied to the rollout - Invitation-only campaign (through Aug. 21): New invitees who register and meet net deposit targets can receive trading-bonus vouchers. Net deposits of ≥1,000 USDT qualify for a 1,000 USDT voucher; ≥30,000 USDT adds another 2,000 USDT (maximum 3,000 USDT per user). The campaign pool is 1 million USDT and rewards are first-come, first-served. Vouchers apply only to designated Buy Low products, carry a three-day trial period, and the bonus principal cannot be withdrawn or converted to cash (users keep earnings from the trial; only their own funds are subject to conversion at settlement). - Public merchandise promo (Aug. 14–28): Cumulative Dual Investment subscriptions unlock tiered merch for qualifying users: gym bag (80 available), keyboard (40), suitcase (30), commemorative gold coin (20), and camping set (5). Rewards go to users in order of qualifying and winners must provide shipping details within five working days. Why it matters Bitget’s expansion shows growing ambition to bridge tokenized equities and crypto-native structured products. For traders, Stock Dual Investment offers an alternatives-based way to express directional views or target entry prices into U.S. names from within a crypto platform — but it carries conversion and counterparty risks distinct from owning registered shares through a broker. The company’s regulatory moves and future U.S. licensing will be key to whether similar products become available to American users under a locally compliant structure. What to watch next: additions to the rToken roster, any timeline for U.S. availability, and how settlement-time changes affect user outcomes once enough data accumulates.
