Summary
Bitget reported exceptional growth in tokenized equity trading during July 2026, with rToken—the exchange's tokenized stock product—achieving an 18-fold increase in daily active user penetration since its launch. The metric underscores a transition from niche adoption to mainstream institutional and retail participation in tokenized financial instruments. Daily transaction volume reached a record 127,691 transactions in a single day, while monthly trading volume surged 121.95% month-over-month.
The asset class demonstrated remarkable velocity in its maturation phase. rToken surpassed $100 million in assets under management in just five weeks following launch, with cumulative trading volume reaching $671.37 million by early July. By July 6, 2026, AUM had climbed to approximately $114 million. These figures suggest that tokenized equities are moving beyond initial experimentation toward sustained market participation, supported by data showing that 42.87% of first-time rToken purchasers increased their positions within seven days of initial purchase.
User engagement metrics reinforce this narrative. Over 100,000 users actively traded rTokens during the measurement period, demonstrating broad market penetration. The consistent addition of positions by nearly 43% of new entrants within a week indicates confidence in the asset class and suggests that adoption is driven by genuine demand rather than speculative one-time transactions. This return-customer metric is critical for institutional investors evaluating the durability of tokenized asset markets.
Bitget's competitive positioning in tokenized equities trading strengthened considerably during July. CryptoRank's research identified Bitget as recording the lowest slippage for large tokenized-equity transactions among analyzed exchanges and the highest balanced displayed liquidity within a 50-basis-point range. CoinGlass separately ranked Bitget second globally for ETH liquidity depth at $81.37 million in order-book depth and fourth for BTC liquidity depth, while TokenInsight estimated the platform processed approximately $70 billion in TradFi perpetual trading volume during Q2 2026.
The broader context reflects Bitget CEO Gracy Chen's stated strategic vision: the "10% tokenization vision," which projects that nearly 10% of financial assets could exist in tokenized form by 2030. The July acceleration in rToken activity—coupled with institutional-grade liquidity infrastructure and user retention metrics—suggests this forecast may gain material credibility within institutional and alternative investment communities as regulated tokenized financial products gain mainstream adoption.
