In a move reflecting the growing trend of integrating traditional assets into digital ecosystems, Bitget has launched 'Reality', a platform for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. This platform aims to connect crypto users to US stocks and ETFs through the issuance of rTokens. According to reports, each token is 1:1 backed by physical shares held with a FINRA-registered US broker-dealer and protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
This launch comes at a time when the RWA sector is seeing significant momentum, with major players like BlackRock’s BUIDL fund driving institutional interest in on-chain liquidity. Compared to industry peers, Bitget’s initiative aligns with its CEO's vision to achieve 10% tokenization as part of its Universal Exchange (UEX) roadmap. Per market data, this move positions Bitget alongside competitors like Ondo Finance, which currently leads the tokenized treasury market.
