Bitget Wallet rolled out Reality’s rTokens on September 15, adding tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to a self-custodial wallet that already offered Ondo and xStocks. The integration brings more than 1,700 tokenized stocks and ETFs onto Arbitrum and Morph, with Reality reporting coverage of over 600 U.S. stocks and ETFs that together represent roughly 95% of U.S. market trading volume. Reality is part of the Bitget ecosystem, creating a vertical integration where the wallet is distributing assets issued by a corporate sibling.
Each rToken is backed one-to-one by actual shares held at Alpaca Securities, a FINRA-registered, SIPC-member broker-dealer, and reserves are attested daily by The Network Firm. During U.S. market hours trades route to Nasdaq and NYSE liquidity rather than only to on-chain pools. Notable tickers available include rNVDA, rTSLA, rAAPL, rAMZN, rSPY and rQQQ; about 90 tokens also trade on weekends. Dividends and corporate actions are mapped automatically: eligible dividends are distributed in USDT and, according to Bitget’s rToken FAQ, cash dividends are credited after a 30% tax deduction and converted to USDT.
Reality operates under El Salvador’s digital asset regulatory framework and its rTokens are described as unregistered securities generally available only to eligible non-U.S. persons in permitted jurisdictions, so U.S. persons are typically excluded. Bitget cites a user base of more than 100 million, giving the listing a very wide retail distribution channel. Reality reports more than $152 million in total value locked and emphasizes low execution latency and zero slippage in certain flows.
The model aims to combine real-market execution and custodial backing with blockchain rails that enable 24/5 trading, composability in DeFi, and direct on-chain swaps into rTokens without fiat off-ramps. The arrangement highlights both an operational path for tokenized equities—custody at a regulated broker and daily attestations—and the limits posed by jurisdictional access and the reliability of custodians and attestations. Bitget also reported that real-world asset trading volume rose 27% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2026, underscoring user appetite for tokenized traditional assets.
