Bitget Wallet has integrated the Reality tokenized asset protocol,
giving users of the self-custody crypto wallet access to over 1,700 tokenized stocks and ETFs, Investing.com has learned.
This move comes amidst an ongoing trend among crypto platforms to offer access to US stocks—a rapidly growing market segment.
Bitget Wallet, which claims to have 100 million users worldwide, has already added tokenized stocks from Ondo and xStocks.
The addition of Reality—initially available on the Arbitrum and Morph networks—provides Bitget Wallet with what the company describes as one of the broadest selections of tokenized stocks accessible via a self-custody wallet.
Reality issues tokens known as "rTokens" that track over 1,700 US stocks and ETFs. Each token is backed one-to-one by shares held at Alpaca Securities—a FINRA-registered and SIPC-member broker-dealer—with reserves verified daily by a third-party audit firm, according to the company.
During US stock market hours (16:30 to 23:00 Moscow time), orders are routed to liquidity pools on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, rather than solely to on-chain pools.
Holders receive dividend payouts in stablecoins directly to their wallets, while corporate actions, such as stock splits, are applied automatically. The tokens can also be utilized in other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, including as collateral. Bitget Wallet’s real-world asset trading volume reportedly grew by 27% in the second quarter compared to the previous three months, with Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia among its largest markets. The company plans to expand asset coverage and add new protocol integrations.
