Odaily, Reality, the compliant RWA issuance platform under Bitget, has announced a partnership with Alpaca, a US-registered broker and self-clearing firm. Under the terms of the collaboration, Alpaca will provide Reality with broker infrastructure support, assisting it in integrating tokenized US stocks and ETF products within a regulated market framework, covering key areas such as clearing, custody, and trade execution.Founded in 2015, Alpaca is a developer-first broker infrastructure company. Its subsidiary, Alpaca Clearing, is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SIPC member, specializing in the custody and clearing of underlying assets. Through this partnership, Reality will further enhance its underlying infrastructure capabilities for tokenized US stocks and ETF products, offering eligible global users a more regulated and transparent access method.Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated that Reality is a key component of Bitget's UEX panoramic exchange strategy, with the goal of bridging traditional financial assets and on-chain infrastructure in a more practical manner. Yoshi Yokokawa, co-founder and CEO of Alpaca, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Reality, noting it will jointly advance the development of tokenized stock infrastructure and further enhance the accessibility of global financial services.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, announced that Bitget’s new product, RealityFi (@RealityFi_xyz), directly connects to licensed broker-dealers registered with FINRA and members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). This enables orders to flow straight into the native order books of NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), fundamentally resolving the liquidity fragmentation and severe slippage issues plaguing existing tokenized U.S. equities products—and delivering “what you see is what you get” execution prices. The product supports 24×5 trading hours, with plans to expand to 24×7 continuous trading. Pre-market and after-hours liquidity matches that of established brokers, utilizing compliant off-market channels. RealityFi is a pure spot product—offering no leverage and zero liquidation risk. In its initial phase, over 30 U.S. equity tokens will be listed, scaling to more than 100 within one to two weeks. These will include popular stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA, as well as major index ETFs like SPY and QQQ. The corresponding rTokens will begin rolling out in early June.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Bitget’s Chinese lead, Xie Jiayin, stated that in Q3 of last year, Bitget took the lead in entering UEX, capturing up to 90% of the U.S. stock token market share. However, the experience with liquidity, dividends, and stock splits was poor. Bitget’s self-developed U.S. stock product, Reality, aims to solve these industry pain points:Direct Broker Liquidity: It operates exactly like trading on Futu, with no spreads and strong liquidity;Dividend Distribution: Dividends are paid directly to your account, identical to holding stocks on Futu;Maximizing Capital Utilization: Bitget’s U.S. stock tokens can be used as margin, participate in strategy trading, and support lending and wealth management.Additionally, rToken will be listed on Bitget in early June.
Odaily reports: Bitget has announced the launch of Reality, a licensed financial protocol focused on the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA). The issued tokenized stocks (rTokens) are strictly pegged 1:1 to the underlying US stocks, with assets custodied at a US securities broker-dealer that is FINRA-registered and SIPC-protected. Real-time proof of reserves is provided through third-party independent audits. By directly accessing liquidity pools from Nasdaq, NYSE, and other US stock exchanges, Reality's stock tokens can achieve liquidity on par with traditional brokerages. Meanwhile, stock dividends will be distributed 1:1 to user accounts in token form, cash dividends will be automatically converted into USDT for distribution, and stock splits and reverse splits will be mapped to on-chain tokens in real-time, offering an experience highly consistent with holding US stocks.Furthermore, the US stock tokens launched by Reality are deeply integrated with the Bitget ecosystem. They can be used, for example, as margin for unified accounts and are compatible with core product lines such as grid trading, copy trading systems, and staking/lending.Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, previously proposed the "10% Vision": Currently, tokenized stocks represent only 0.1% of the $125 trillion global stock market. She predicts this proportion will rise to nearly 10% by 2030. Reality is built on this trend. In its initial phase, it will focus on US stocks, and will later expand asset classes, driving the extension of Bitget's UEX strategy into a broader access layer for global financial assets.
