Bitget widens Stock Dual Investment to 20+ U.S. stocks and ETFs, shifts settlement to U.S. open Crypto exchange Bitget has rapidly expanded its Stock Dual Investment offering, growing the product lineup from six tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to more than 20 in under a month — and moving daily settlement to better reflect U.S. market moves. What’s new - Bitget announced on Aug. 14 that Stock Dual Investment now supports at least 21 rToken-linked U.S. stocks and ETFs, up from the six products that launched on July 25. - The newly 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. - Notable exposures added: Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Meta, AMD, Intel, TSMC, Coinbase and Circle; rSOXL and rSOXS provide leveraged semiconductor ETF exposure. - Bitget says it plans to add more underlying assets but gave no timetable. Why the settlement time changed - Bitget moved stock-linked product settlement to 11:30 p.m. UTC+8 (11:00 a.m. EDT), roughly 90 minutes after the U.S. market opens at 9:30 a.m. ET. - The exchange says the shift lets settlement account for price moves that occur during the opening portion of the Nasdaq and NYSE sessions — when companies often issue announcements and the market reacts to overnight news — though it did not publish comparative outcome data. How Stock Dual Investment works (Buy Low / Sell High) - Buy Low: Users subscribe with USDT, pick a target price and maturity. If the linked token’s settlement price is at or below the target, Bitget buys the token at the agreed price and pays interest. If it settles above the target, the user gets their USDT principal plus interest. - Sell High: Users deposit the stock token and choose a target price. If the settlement price reaches or exceeds the target, Bitget converts at that target and credits interest. If not, the user keeps the token and receives interest in the settlement asset. - Important risks: Dual Investment is non-principal-guaranteed. At maturity users may receive a different asset than they deposited, conversion prices can be worse than open-market prices prior to settlement, and subscription funds are locked until maturity. Displayed APRs and subscription limits can change. Context: rTokens, Reality platform and margin exposure - These products use Bitget’s rTokens — tokenized representations of U.S. securities issued on the Reality platform, launched in May. Bitget has said rTokens are backed 1:1 by shares held through regulated brokerage and custody arrangements and support stablecoin minting/redemption and dividend distributions. - In July Bitget put over 100 rTokens and more than 370 other eligible assets into a unified margin system. Those assets can be used for borrowing and margin obligations, and Bitget warns falling collateral values may trigger margin calls or liquidations. U.S. availability and regulatory posture - Despite the U.S. focus of the assets, Bitget has not said Stock Dual Investment is available to U.S. residents. Access depends on account eligibility and regional rules. - CEO Gracy Chen has said Bitget intends to form an independent U.S. entity and pursue money-transmitter, derivatives and broker-dealer approvals before serving U.S. customers. The firm has not set a launch date and plans to proceed regardless of whether the CLARITY Act passes. - Chen also noted tokenized traditional assets made up 20–30% of Bitget’s spot volume in the prior quarter; 52% of users held both stocks and crypto; and tokenized-stock products had amassed more than $100 million. Broker-style Stock+ vs. rTokens - Bitget operates a separate Stock+ product that allows eligible users to buy and hold actual U.S. stocks and ETFs through broker-style custody. By contrast, rTokens deliver tokenized economic exposure rather than the same ownership structure as registered shares. Promotions tied to the expansion - Invitation-only Dual Investment bonus campaign (through Aug. 21): Eligible users who register and meet deposit tasks (and who haven’t traded a Dual Investment product since Jan. 1, 2026) can earn trading vouchers. Net deposits of 1,000 USDT qualify for a 1,000 USDT voucher; reaching 30,000 USDT adds a 2,000 USDT voucher. One user can receive up to 3,000 USDT from a 1 million USDT campaign pool. Vouchers apply only to designated Buy Low products, have a three-day trial, cannot be withdrawn and require a minimum user-funded subscription portion. - Public subscription reward campaign (Aug. 14–28): Cumulative Dual Investment subscriptions hit tier thresholds (50k, 100k, 500k, 1M, 3M USDT) to win limited merchandise rewards — from gym bags to camping sets — distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with strict quantity caps per item. What this means for traders - Bitget’s expansion broadens retail access to tokenized U.S. stock exposure inside a derivatives-style product that blends yield and conditional conversion mechanics. The settlement time change shows the exchange is trying to align product outcomes more closely with actual U.S. market behavior, but investors should weigh product-specific rules and conversion risk against the convenience of rToken exposure. - U.S. residents should watch for formal availability and a potential separately structured onshore offering, since regulatory approvals may materially change how these products are presented and sold locally.
