Bitget Introduces Tokenized Stock Contracts Tied to Tesla and Nvidia

Crypto exchange Bitget has introduced the industry’s first Real-World Asset (RWA) Index Perpetual Contract, opening trading on tokenized equities and other traditional assets through its futures platform. The product went live on August 20.

First Contracts Cover Tokenized Stocks

The RWA Index Perpetuals will start with Tesla, Nvidia, and Circle’s USDC-related contracts. Each index reflects a basket of tokenized versions of the same stock issued by different third parties, a structure designed to stabilize pricing.

Bitget said the contracts mirror the mechanics of existing crypto perpetuals, with index values drawn from multiple sources. The platform plans to adjust weightings based on market activity, trading volumes, and liquidity conditions.

RWA Index Perpetuals will trade on a 5×24 schedule, closing on weekends and during stock market holidays. Prices will remain frozen during closures to avoid liquidation risks, though traders can add margin ahead of reopening.

Funding fees will pause while markets are shut, resuming once trading restarts. The contracts will initially support isolated margin mode only, with leverage capped at 10x and open interest limits applied across the exchange.

Bitget’s Expansion

At launch, index pricing is sourced from xStocks. Bitget plans to add more issuers and expand the RWA futures range later this quarter.
