Bitget has introduced a Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), a new trading system that allows users to manage cryptocurrencies and tokenized US stocks under a single margin account.
The launch increases the role of tokenized real-world assets by allowing eligible tokenized equities to be used as collateral alongside digital assets. The exchange said the new system is designed to improve capital efficiency by giving traders more flexibility in how they use their holdings across different products.
Bitget has launched the industry’s first Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA).
This brings 370+ assets, including 100 tokenized US stocks (rTokens) into a single margin pool, breaking down the barriers between crypto and real-world assets.

Tokenized stocks can now do more than track share prices
Under the new system, eligible rTokens can be used in multiple ways without requiring users to sell their positions.
In addition to maintaining exposure to the underlying US stocks, traders can use eligible tokenized equities as collateral for futures and margin positions or pledge them to borrow stablecoins. Where applicable, holders will also remain eligible to receive cash dividends linked to the underlying shares.
According to Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, tokenizing stocks is only part of the process, adding that allowing those assets to function like crypto within a unified trading system is what improves capital efficiency.
The initial rollout includes tokenized shares of major US companies such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Tesla, Meta, Alphabet, JPMorgan, Walmart, Visa and Strategy, alongside exchange-traded funds including SPY and QQQ.
What changes with the new unified account?
The Cross-Asset Unified Account combines more than 370 eligible assets into one shared margin pool, including 100 tokenized US stocks.
Instead of separating funds across multiple accounts, users can access futures, margin trading and other supported products using a single collateral pool. Bitget said this marks the next stage of unified margin by extending the model beyond cryptocurrencies to include tokenized real-world assets.
The company said eligible tokenized stocks can now serve the same role as crypto assets within the margin system, reducing the need for traders to move capital between different accounts.

Why is Bitget expanding tokenized assets?
The launch follows the growth of Bitget’s tokenized equity offering through Reality, the licensed platform behind its rToken products.
According to the company, Reality surpassed $100 million in assets under management within its first month and has recorded more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume.
Bitget said eligible collateral can receive discount rates of up to 95%, depending on the asset and position size, while borrowing costs will continue to adjust based on market conditions.
The exchange plans to add more eligible assets over time as it expands its Universal Exchange strategy, which aims to bring cryptocurrencies, tokenized real-world assets and traditional financial products together within a single trading ecosystem. Additionally, Bitget introduced a major upgrade to its Contracts for Difference (CFD) trading platform, adding built-in copy trading and a new tiered margin system to improve the experience for traders using leveraged products
