In January 2026, Bitget announced that spot trading volume for stock tokens had surpassed $1 billion, capturing approximately 89% of global market share among Ondo-issued tokenized stock tokens. The trend has also extended into derivatives. According to TokenInsight’s Q1 2026 Derivatives Market Report, Bitget ranked second globally in stock perpetual contracts, with a 22.61% market share.
These figures matter because they show that demand for stock-linked crypto products is no longer limited to early adopters. Users are looking for ways to access equity markets through the same tools, balances, and interfaces they already use for digital assets. Bitget ranks among the first major crypto exchanges to support tokenized equities at scale, helping establish it as a go-to venue for users seeking stock exposure inside a crypto-native trading environment.
Stocks 2.0 builds on that position by expanding Bitget’s equity ecosystem beyond tokenized exposure alone. The upgrade brings together rTokens, which provide tokenized U.S. equity exposure through Reality, and Stock+, which allows eligible users to purchase real U.S. stocks through U.S.-licensed brokers using USDC. With U.S. stock options now being added to Stock+, Bitget is extending that ecosystem from stock access into more flexible trading strategies around market direction, earnings events, and portfolio positioning.
