Latest NewsPublishedMay 19, 2026
The self-custodial wallet platform integrated Kraken-backed xStocks infrastructure, adding more than 130 tokenized stocks and ETFs for users.
Bitget Wallet stated it has integrated xStocks infrastructure, giving its 90 million users access to more than 130 tokenized stocks and ETFs through its self-custodial wallet platform.
The integration expands Bitget Wallet’s tokenized real-world assets offering to more than 300 products, including equities, commodities, precious metals and index-linked assets, as reported by a Tuesday announcement.
The company stated its tokenized equity products have processed more than $30 billion in transaction volume since launching in 2025. The products are not available in the United States, United Kingdom or other restricted jurisdictions, as reported by the company.
Bitget Wallet stated the launch supports both request-for-quote (RFQ) and automated-market-maker (AAM) liquidity models and allows users to trade tokenized assets with zero trading fees and gasless execution.
as reported by the company, users can access tokenized equities and other real-world assets from the same interface used for cryptocurrency trading, swaps and storage while retaining control of their private keys and funds.
It is now operated by Payward, the parent company of Kraken, which acquired the tokenized equities platform through its purchase of Backed Finance in late 2025.

Competition grows in tokenized equities market
Crypto exchanges and trading platforms are fast expanding into tokenized equities and stock-linked derivatives offerings.
In March, Coinbase introduced stock perpetual futures for international users, offering leveraged 24/7 exposure to publicly traded US equities through its derivatives platform.
Kraken also expanded its xStocks business recently with bundled crypto-and-equity investment products and tokenized equity perpetual futures for non-US users, while Binance stated earlier this year it was exploring a return to tokenized equities after shutting down its stock token business in 2021 following regulatory scrutiny in Europe.
Data from RWA.xyz shows the tokenized equities market has grown to nearly $1.5 billion, with products linked to companies including Circle, Nvidia, Tesla, Alphabet and Strategy among the sector’s largest assets.
Ondo is currently the largest tokenized stocks platform by represented asset value at roughly $883 million, followed by xStocks at about $391.5 million. Several xStocks products linked to Strategy, Tesla, Nvidia and the S&P 500 index rank among the largest tokenized equity assets tracked by RWA.xyz.
