Odaily, Bitget announced that the Assets Under Management (AUM) for its stock token (rToken) product has exceeded $100 million within one month of launch. As of July 6, the number of users participating in related asset trading surpassed 100,000, with cumulative trading volume reaching $671.37 million.Looking at asset distribution, rSPCX is the rToken with the highest TVL, accounting for 23.51%; rCSCO and rNVDA follow with 17.75% and 13.38%, respectively. The overall ranking indicates that early demand for rTokens was primarily driven by high-interest private market assets and technology-related targets. Among these, AI infrastructure assets, covering areas such as networks, chips, storage, and semiconductors, have formed a significant demand cluster.It is reported that rTokens, identified by the prefix "r" followed by the stock ticker (e.g., rNVDA for NVIDIA), are issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget. By partnering with the compliant brokerage Alpaca, they directly connect to global liquidity pools such as Nasdaq and the NYSE. Key features include: 1:1 reserve backing of underlying assets held by a licensed custodian, 1:1 distribution of stock dividends in token form, synchronized mirroring of corporate actions like stock splits and reverse splits, and the ability to use holdings as joint margin for unified accounts and USDT-margined contracts. This allows users to hold global stock assets while still flexibly managing their capital.

the Central Bank of Brazil stated during a hearing at the Congressional Economic Development Committee that stablecoins should be treated as electronic currency instruments, not digital assets. Fábio Araújo, an advisor to the Financial System Regulation Department of the Central Bank of Brazil, stated that digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum possess characteristics such as scarcity, transferability, and verifiability. Stablecoins, however, are different and should be understood as monetary instruments when they exhibit features of a means of payment. The Brazilian Congress is preparing to deliberate Bill No. 4308/2024, proposed by Congressman Aureo Ribeiro in 2024, to clarify rules for stablecoins. The Brazilian crypto economy association Abcripto opposes this classification. Its members include Binance, Coinbase, Fireblocks, Visa, Tether, OKX, and Ripio. Abcripto stated that this classification will lead to regulatory conflicts, affect stablecoin adoption among both institutional and retail users in Brazil, and hinder virtual asset service providers. The Central Bank of Brazil also recently issued a new resolution, elevating its supervision of virtual asset service providers to the same level as securities institutions. (Bitcoin.com News).
