Bitget widens Ondo tokenised stocks, ETFs & metals

Bitget has added a new batch of tokenised securities from Ondo Global Markets to its spot market, expanding its line-up beyond cryptocurrencies to include exposures linked to major US equities, index exchange-traded funds and precious metals.

The instruments sit within Bitget's multi-asset spot trading environment and use a USDT-based account structure. Users can trade the tokenised products around the clock through the same interface used for crypto spot trading.

New spot listings

The new listings include tokenised versions of widely followed US stocks, including Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and AMD.

Bitget is also adding tokenised products linked to major US index ETFs, including SPY, IVV, QQQ, IWM and ITOT.

For commodity-linked exposure, Bitget is introducing products tied to gold and silver instruments, including IAU and SLV.

The exchange uses an "on" suffix to distinguish the tokenised products from the underlying US-listed securities and funds. Bitget described the additions as part of a broader push to bring crypto and traditional market exposures into a single trading environment.

Ondo partnership

The rollout extends a relationship between Bitget and Ondo Finance that has grown since last year. In September 2025, Bitget and Bitget Wallet introduced access to more than 100 tokenised assets through Ondo Finance. More recently, Bitget added 98 more tokenised US stocks and ETFs through the same provider.

Tokenised stocks and ETFs have become a closely watched segment within the wider market for tokenised real-world assets. Issuers typically structure these products as blockchain tokens backed by positions in the referenced security, with issuance and redemption processes.

Ondo Global Markets operates an issuance and redemption platform for tokenised publicly traded US stocks and ETFs. It says each token is fully backed by the corresponding stock or ETF, along with cash in transit.

24/7 trading

Trading availability is a key consideration for crypto exchanges offering tokenised traditional assets. US equities and ETFs trade during set market hours, with limited sessions outside the main window, while crypto markets run continuously.

Bitget said the new spot listings are designed for continuous access, allowing traders to react to news outside US market hours, including macroeconomic events and earnings developments.

The approach also reflects changing expectations among crypto-native traders, many of whom are accustomed to 24/7 price discovery and immediate order placement. Exchanges and tokenisation platforms have increasingly framed tokenised securities as a format that aligns traditional exposures with crypto market mechanics.

Market share claim

Bitget reported strong traction in tokenised stock trading tied to Ondo products. It said Ondo tokenised stock trading on Bitget captured about 73% of market share in early December before rising to roughly 89% later that month.

It did not provide details on how it calculated those figures or which venues were included. Bitget also said Ondo Global Markets is now the largest tokenised stock provider globally.

Executive comments

Gracy Chen, Bitget's Chief Executive, framed the expansion as a response to how users trade across asset classes.

"Market movements are no longer bound by date and time, user expectations no longer stop at the boundary between crypto and traditional finance. This expansion with Ondo brings some of the world's most watched equities, index products, and precious metals into our spot market in a way that feels native to how modern users already trade," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode highlighted the distribution of the tokenised products across Bitget's platforms.

"Bitget is now offering tokenised equities alongside crypto and becoming the everything app, powered by Ondo," said De Bode. "Ondo tokenised stocks, ETFs, and commodities are available for trading on every Bitget platform, in size."

The expansion follows a broader pattern of crypto platforms seeking additional revenue and higher user engagement by adding more asset types. Tokenised stocks and ETFs have also raised questions in some markets about product structure, investor protections and distribution rules, particularly when instruments mirror regulated securities.

Bitget said the latest additions advance its Universal Exchange model, which combines crypto spot trading with tokenised real-world assets and other market instruments on one platform.
