: According to an official announcement, to meet users' round-the-clock trading needs, Bitget Stock Spot (rToken) has officially launched its weekend trading feature. The first batch supports 20 popular U.S. stock options, including rAAPL (Apple), rNVDA (NVIDIA), and rTSLA (Tesla).During U.S. stock market closures, the platform will generate continuous weekend trading prices based on Friday's closing prices, market maker quotes, and market expectations. This feature supports limit orders and stop-loss/take-profit settings. To prevent abnormal fluctuations, the system implements an approximate ±20% protection limit for weekend limit orders.rToken, identified by the letter "r" followed by the stock ticker (e.g., rNVDA for NVIDIA), is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget. Through a partnership with compliant broker Alpaca, it connects directly to global liquidity pools such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. Its features include: 1:1 reserves of the underlying assets held by a licensed custodian, stock dividends distributed 1:1 in token form, corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits synchronously reflected, and holdings can be used as joint margin for unified accounts and U-margined contracts, allowing users to flexibly manage funds while holding global stock assets.
market analysts have pointed out that if Elon Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla proceeds, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, increasing the total share count to approximately 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past 12 months has dropped from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, its core operating profit stands at only about $2.3 billion.Analysts believe that this transaction may essentially be an attempt to use a high-valuation asset to acquire another similarly overvalued company, leaving significant uncertainty regarding its long-term profitability and cash flow performance. The combined company's valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla's current market cap around $1.65 trillion. Musk may be leveraging the high valuation from SpaceX's impending IPO to support Tesla, which is under earnings pressure. (Fortune)
