Bitget Unlocks US Stock Markets for 125 Million Digital Asset Investors
New York, Tuesday, 2 June 2026.
Bitget’s new ‘Reality’ platform grants 125 million digital investors round-the-clock access to US stocks, anticipating a future where 10% of global financial assets are tokenized by 2030.
Bridging Traditional Finance and On-Chain Ecosystems
On May 31, 2026, digital asset platform Bitget officially launched “Reality,” a real-world asset platform designed to provide access to tokenized United States stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) [1]. The platform operates as a core component of Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy, which was originally conceived following the company’s founding in 2018 to reduce transaction friction between traditional finance (TradFi) and on-chain ecosystems [1][3]. By integrating with Alpaca—a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)-registered US broker-dealer and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) member founded in 2015—Reality allows investors to access major traditional exchanges such as the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) directly through a blockchain environment [3].
The Mechanics of Always-On Market Access
A critical technological advantage of the Reality platform is its reliance on Alpaca’s tokenization infrastructure [1][2]. This integration enables features that are highly sought after by modern digital investors, including faster trade settlements and round-the-clock market availability [1][2]. Unlike traditional brokerage accounts that are bound by standard US market hours [GPT], the blockchain-based system allows users to rotate capital and react to global market events instantaneously using stablecoins [2]. Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-founder and CEO of Alpaca, noted that bringing the world’s largest financial market on-chain accelerates the adoption of financial services and unlocks new possibilities for global investors [1][3].
A Vision for the Tokenized Future
The launch of Reality aligns with a broader macroeconomic thesis held by Bitget’s leadership. CEO Gracy Chen projects that approximately 10 percent of all global financial assets could exist in tokenized form by the year 2030 [1][3]. Chen has emphasized that the distinction between cryptocurrency and traditional finance is steadily eroding with each market cycle [1][2]. By transitioning traditional assets into a more accessible and efficient blockchain-based market environment, Bitget aims to facilitate a future where global capital can move fluidly across borders and asset classes [1][2].
