Bitget Launches Reality RWA Protocol for Tokenized U.S. Stocks and Dividend Payments

Real-world asset tokenization aims to bring traditional assets such as stocks onto blockchains, lowering barriers for crypto users seeking exposure across markets. Bitget’s Reality supports its rTokens with custody by U.S. brokerages and reserve verification. With global equity markets valued at about $125 trillion and tokenized stocks accounting for just 0.1%, its compliance and liquidity arrangements will be critical to wider adoption.

Bitget unveiled Reality on May 26, 2026. Its rTokens are pegged 1:1 to underlying U.S. stocks and ETFs and connect directly to Nasdaq and NYSE liquidity. Cash dividends are converted into USDT, while stock dividends are distributed as tokens; stock splits and reverse splits are also recorded onchain. Stocks 2.0, the related trading product, formally launched on June 2 and can be integrated with margin trading, grid trading, copy trading and lending services.
