Bitget launched Stock+, a new offering under its Stocks 2.0 suite that enables users to purchase full and fractional U.S. stocks using digital assets converted into Circle's USDC stablecoin. The feature provides ownership of underlying shares, with users eligible for cash dividends and stock split adjustments, though shareholder rights such as voting and dividend collection must be exercised through the Bitget platform. The launch advances Bitget's universal exchange vision of integrating crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and equities within a single platform, building on the Stocks 2.0 overhaul announced in early June when the exchange introduced Reality, a regulated real-world asset protocol, and rToken tokenized stocks.
Stock+ Features and Ownership Rights
Stock+ users receive ownership of underlying shares, according to Bitget. Users are eligible for cash dividends and stock split adjustments. The exchange clarified that exercising shareholder rights such as voting and dividend collection must be conducted through the Bitget platform. The feature supports inbound transfers of existing U.S. stock holdings from participating brokers, allowing users to consolidate equity positions within a single portfolio. Outbound transfers are not available at this stage, with Bitget stating that functionality will be opened in due course.
Broker Partnerships and Execution Infrastructure
Stock+ trades are executed through U.S.-licensed brokers RQD Clearing and Atomic Vaults Securities, according to Bitget. Order routing goes to Nasdaq, the NYSE, and compliant market makers. Services tied to U.S. stock trading are provided by Parsa Financial Services Pty Limited, a Bitget group entity licensed in South Africa.
Geographic Restrictions and Availability
The global rollout is geographically restricted. Availability excludes residents of the UK, Australia, Canada, EU member states, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and several other jurisdictions including India, Kenya, and Vietnam. The restricted list also covers Algeria, Angola, Bolivia, Cameroon, Kuwait, Laos, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, Syria, Papua New Guinea, and the British Virgin Islands, among others.
Stocks 2.0 Context and Platform Expansion
The Stock+ debut builds on Bitget's Stocks 2.0 overhaul announced in early June, when the exchange introduced Reality, a regulated real-world asset protocol, and its rToken tokenized stocks. According to Bitget, it currently offers more than 500 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds. Assets under management tied to rToken products have exceeded $50 million.
