Bitget Bridges Crypto and Equities with Actual Share Ownership

Bitget has launched Stock+, a feature allowing users to purchase real U.S.-listed equities using USDC and other digital assets through regulated broker execution. The product provides actual share ownership, not synthetic exposure or tokenized proxies.

The feature operates within Bitget's broader Stocks 2.0 ecosystem, which lists over 500 U.S. stocks and ETFs, including SpaceX, Tesla, and NVIDIA. Assets under management for the platform's existing tokenized stock product have exceeded $50 million since its launch in early June 2026.

The trading fee for Stock+ starts at 0.1%, but users are eligible for a 50% promotional discount through August 31, 2026, bringing the effective launch rate to 0.05%. Users can also receive cash dividends and stock split adjustments tied to their holdings.

CEO Gracy Chen frames Stock+ as 'the bridge between crypto and equities,' positioning Bitget against traditional online brokerages that lack native crypto integration. The core pitch is one account for both asset classes, funded entirely by stablecoins.
