Highlights

  • The tokenized stock platform by Bitget has nearly $18 billion in volume, with the highest volume for Tesla.
  • The stocks that traders can access 24 hours a day include Apple and Meta.
  • There is an increasing demand for instant settlements and on-chain equity trading with no limitations.

The cumulative volume of the Bitget tokenized stock platform has surpassed $18 billion, indicating massive on-chain equity access. Such a surge indicates that more traders are seeking a platform that offers a 24/7 exposure to conventional assets worldwide through blockchain.

Messari Highlights Quick Expansion of Tokenized Stocks 

Bitget has processed more than $17 billion of tokenized stock futures volume in a few months, as shown by a Messari report. A majority of this action occurred in November when the company’s volume was well into the $18 billion mark at the beginning of December.

The expansion is a sign of an increasing interest in after-market trading. Hence, trading tokenized stocks allows almost instant settlement, fractional ownership and cross-border accessibility.

These characteristics minimize typical frictions found among traditional brokers. That explains why Bitget partnered Ondo Finance for tokenized equities in July 2025.

The aim is to able to trade tokenized stocks, ETFs, and money-market funds on both spot and futures markets on the core interface of Bitget. Also, fees paid to trade these tokenized equities trading are zero.

Why Are Tokenized Stocks Experiencing Global Demand?

Costs of derivatives are low to persuade users to adopt them rapidly. Stock products are traded through tokens and are accessible around the clock from any part of the world. However, the Bitget tokenized stocks trading is extremely concentrated on popular U.S. equities.

The largest volume driver was Tesla, with over $6.3 billion. Close behind are Meta, MicroStrategy, Apple and Google. Demand from the East Asia region very high, although there has been increasing demand from other parts of the world.

The additional volume shares are from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Europe now. This geographical distribution highlights an international demand for on-chain equity exposure.

A major objective of the Bitget Universal Exchange (UEX) vision consists of tokenized stocks trading. This combines a centralized implementation with an on-chain access point and artificial intelligence-based tools. Also, users have the chance to switch between crypto assets and tokenized stocks, without funds being transferred across platforms.

Bitget Onchain Shows Market Maturity

Bitget Onchain allows users to exchange blockchain-native assets using their exchange wallets. Hence, it makes trades simpler and faster for retail and institutional clients.

The milestone was reached as Bitget used football to highlight its UEX vision so that the users can easily adopt it. Also, more mainstream users can embrace it. The feature has already generated more than $2.4 billion in the cumulative trading volume.

Institutions account for most of the spot and derivative volumes of the platform. However, higher liquidity has helped close the gaps between spreads during volatile periods, resulting in enhanced performance. This trend shows that the tokenized stocks are becoming more market fit rather than experiments.
