Bitget Revolutionizes DeFi with Tokenized Stocks and ETFs Integration

Bitget and Ondo Finance have partnered to integrate tokenized stocks and ETFs, allowing users to trade over 100 tokenized assets on Bitget Wallet. This collaboration makes global investments accessible with as little as $1, promoting the adoption of blockchain technology in traditional financial markets. The integration aims to provide users with borderless access to international markets while maintaining transparency and security.

Bitget and Ondo Finance have announced a strategic partnership to integrate tokenized stocks and ETFs, enabling users to trade over 100 tokenized assets via Bitget Wallet. This collaboration aims to lower barriers for retail users, allowing participation with as little as $1, thereby promoting the adoption of blockchain technology in traditional financial markets.

The integration builds on Bitget’s membership in Ondo’s Global Markets Alliance and plans to expand to over 1,000 assets. The new RWA (Real-World Assets) module allows users to trade tokenized representations of equities such as Apple Inc. (AAPL), Tesla Corp. (TSLA), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), and NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), alongside major ETFs. Each token mirrors the performance of the underlying security and reinvested dividends, with assets fully backed and held by regulated custodians [1].

The partnership marks one of the largest onchain offerings of tokenized stocks to date, providing access to financial products traditionally limited to institutional investors. This integration is significant as it allows users to participate in global markets with minimal capital requirements. Assets are currently available on Ethereum (ETH/USD), with plans to expand to Solana (SOL/USD), BNB Chain (BNB/USD), and other blockchains [1].

Ondo Finance, which manages over $1 billion in assets, issues tokenized securities under a regulated legal framework, supported by daily third-party attestations. Unlike typical onchain pools, its tokenized assets draw liquidity directly from traditional equity markets. This approach ensures transparency and security, making it an attractive option for retail investors [1].

The move follows Bitget and Bitget Wallet joining Ondo's Global Markets Alliance earlier this year. The companies said the integration broadens access to tokenized financial products for eligible users outside the U.S. and positions them to scale offerings to more than 1,000 tokenized assets in the coming months [1].

This partnership highlights the growing trend of integrating blockchain technology with traditional financial markets. By making global investments accessible to a broader audience, Bitget and Ondo Finance are fostering innovation and democratizing access to financial products.
