VICTORIA, Seychelles -
Tuesday, 23. June 2026
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget,
the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Stock+, a
new feature under its Stocks 2.0 ecosystem that enables users to
purchase real US stocks directly using USDC and other digital assets.
The launch marks another step toward a future where crypto and
traditional financial markets operate within the same account, allowing
users to move between digital assets and equities without the
fragmentation that has historically separated the two worlds.
For
decades, access to US equities has depended on local brokers, bank
transfers, account approvals, and jurisdiction-specific infrastructure.
Stock+ introduces a different model. Users can fund their accounts with
digital assets, convert them into USDC, and gain exposure to publicly
listed companies through a streamlined, crypto-native experience. The
result is a trading environment where global markets become increasingly
accessible fr0m a single platform.
Unlike synthetic products or derivatives, Stock+ provides ownership of
underlying shares executed through regulated brokers. Users are eligible
for cash dividends and stock split adjustments associated with their
holdings, while trading hours remain synchronized with US pre-market,
regular market, and after-hours sessions.
"Bitget
was among the first exchanges to bring together crypto, tokenized
assets, commodities, and equities under the Universal Exchange vision.
Stock+ is the next evolution of that strategy," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Access
is important, but ownership matters too. Giving users access to real
ownership of US-listed companies is how we actually bridge financial
markets. The platforms that succeed will be the ones that combine
access, ownership, and flexibility in a single experience."
Stock+
also supports inbound stock transfers fr0m participating brokers
through standard transfer processes, allowing users to consolidate
existing US equity holdings within a unified portfolio environment.
Combined with crypto-funded purchasing, the feature expands the ways
investors can access and manage traditional financial assets through
Bitget.
With
Stock+, Bitget adds direct ownership of US-listed equities to its
growing suite of stock market products, further advancing its vision of a
Universal Exchange where crypto and traditional financial markets
coexist within a single platform.
In
early June 2026, Bitget announced a major 2.0 upgrade to its
stock-related services, kicking off with the launch of Reality, a
regulated RWA protocol, and its issued tokenized stocks (rToken). To
date, Bitget has listed over 500 leading US stocks and ETFs, including
SpaceX, Tesla, and NVIDIA, with the Assets Under Management (AUM) of
rToken exceeding $50 million. The introduction of Stock+ marks another
pivotal step in the Bitget Stocks 2.0 evolution, offering users
accustomed to traditional brokerage experiences a more seamless and
intuitive interface for transfers and trading.
To celebrate the launch, Stock+ trading fees start fr0m 0.1%, with a 50% promotional discount available through August 31, 2026.
