Crypto exchange Bitget has launched what it calls the industry's first cross-asset unified account, letting users combine more than 370 assets, including 100 tokenized U.S. stocks, in one margin pool.
The Victoria, Seychelles-based exchange said on Jul. 16 that the account pools those assets into a single margin system, letting tokenized stocks back trades alongside digital assets.
Bitget calls the format the third stage in how exchanges structure trading accounts, after versions that isolated margin by asset or pooled only cryptocurrencies. The first rollout covers 100 U.S. stock tokens, known as rTokens, among them rAAPL, rAMZN, rTSLA, rNVDA and rMSTR.
Eligible collateral can earn discount rates of up to 95%, depending on the asset and holding size. Borrowing rates shift hourly with supply and demand.

Gracy Chen, Bitget's chief executive, said the real shift comes when stocks gain crypto's flexibility. Holders can keep exposure to the underlying shares, collect cash dividends where they apply, and post the tokens as margin or to borrow stablecoins. "A stock position should be able to hold value, support another trade, or unlock liquidity instead of sitting in isolation," she said.
The account builds on Reality, Bitget's licensed real-world asset protocol, which issues rToken. Within its first month, rToken passed $100 million in assets under management and topped $671 million in cumulative trading volume.
