Summary
Each xStock token maintains 1:1 economic backing by the underlying equity asset and operates on-chain through Reality Protocol, which provides secure custody and DeFi compatibility. Users trade these tokenized equities using USDT on Bitget's platform, combining traditional stock exposure with the trading infrastructure and composability of decentralized finance. This structure allows eligible users to own real U.S. stocks without traditional brokerage intermediation, settling transactions directly within the self-custodial wallet environment.
The xStocks integration substantially expands Bitget Wallet's real-world asset (RWA) portfolio, which now exceeds 300 products including equities, commodities, precious metals, and index-linked assets. According to Bitget's announcement, its tokenized equity products have generated over $30 billion in volume since 2025, demonstrating growing institutional and retail demand for on-chain equity access.
Bitget's expansion reflects intensifying competition in the tokenized equities sector. Kraken acquired Backed Finance in December 2025 to strengthen its xStocks offering and accelerate global distribution of tokenized equity products. RWA.xyz market data indicates that Ondo and xStocks currently lead the tokenized equities market by asset value, establishing these platforms as dominant players in a rapidly consolidating space.
This strategic move positions Bitget Wallet as a comprehensive alternative trading platform where users can execute cryptocurrency, equities, and commodities trading from a single self-custodial interface—eliminating traditional custody layers and enabling direct ownership of both digital and tokenized real-world assets within a unified on-chain environment.
