Understand What Tokenized Stocks Are

Tokenized U.S. stocks (also called stock tokens, xStocks, or on‑chain equities) are digital representations of real NYSE/NASDAQ shares, issued on blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, or Polygon. Each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying asset (or a basket of them) through a regulated issuer such as Ondo, Backed, or DigiFT. They allow you to gain price exposure to companies like Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), or ETFs like SPY and QQQ without needing a traditional brokerage account. Key difference from CFDs: tokenized stocks are backed by real assets, not just a derivative contract. However, you do not directly own the share in your name — you hold a token representing a claim on the share held by the issuer.

Check Supported Assets on Bitget

Bitget’s “Tokenized Stocks” section (or xStocks) currently lists dozens of popular U.S. equities and ETFs. Navigate to the “Trade” menu, select “Tokenized Stocks,” and browse the asset pairs (e.g., TSLA/USDT, NVDA/USDT). Each asset shows the underlying ticker, current price, and fee schedule. Bitget also offers tokenized versions of major ETFs like SPY and QQQ. Note that availability can vary by region — some assets may be restricted in your country due to local regulations. Always check the “Regions” filter before trading.

Compare Fee Structures

Bitget’s fee model for tokenized stocks is competitive but has several components:

• Spot trading fee: Maker 0.02% / Taker 0.04% (can be reduced with BGB holdings).
• Spread: Liquidity spreads vary by asset — check the order book.
• Overnight funding: For perpetual contracts (if using futures) — tokenized spot has no funding.
• Withdrawal/deposit fees: Zero for on‑chain tokens, but network gas applies.
• Management fee: Some issuers charge a small annual fee (e.g., 0.15%) — read the product details.

Complete KYC and Check Region Limits

Bitget requires basic identity verification (Level 1 KYC) to trade tokenized stocks. You’ll need a government‑issued ID and selfie. Some countries (e.g., the U.S., mainland China, and a few others) are restricted from using tokenized stock products due to local securities laws. If your residential address falls in a restricted jurisdiction, the option will be grayed out. On the plus side, users from most of Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America can access the full suite. Use a VPN is against the terms — always comply with your local laws.

Place Your First Trade

Once funded with USDT (or other base currency), go to the tokenized stock pair you want. Use a limit order to avoid slippage, especially for less liquid tokens. Confirm the order, and the token will be credited to your spot wallet. You can hold it, transfer it to a private wallet (if the token is supported on‑chain), or sell it back at any time. Remember: trades settle instantly on the exchange, but on‑chain transfers may take a few minutes.

Understand Dividends & Corporate Actions

Tokenized stocks usually pass through cash dividends (after deducting issuer fees and withholding taxes). For example, if AAPL pays a $0.25 dividend per share, holders of the AAPL token will receive an equivalent amount in USDT or stablecoins minus a small processing fee (typically 1‑2%). Stock splits and reverse splits are also mirrored proportionally. However, voting rights are not passed through — you cannot participate in shareholder meetings. Always check the specific issuer’s policy on the Bitget product page.
