Bitget has introduced a service that facilitates the transfer of equity holdings from traditional brokerages to its platform for use as digital rTokens. The service supports more than 3,000 assets and simplifies the movement of existing investments into the company's tokenization network.
Why it matters
This service streamlines the process of migrating traditional stock holdings into a digital format, potentially allowing those assets to serve as collateral for future trading activities. It aims to reduce friction for investors looking to bridge the gap between legacy brokerage accounts and digital asset platforms.
The service supports more than 3,000 assets and reached approximately 114 million USD in assets under management by July 6. Transfers into the Bitget platform are currently free for users.

Market Dynamics
This move expands the reach of the In-Kind Tokenization Network by removing the barrier of manual conversion for retail investors. It positions the firm against legacy brokerages by offering a digital alternative for managing equity holdings.
Users can participate in a 1 million USD SpaceX stock token airdrop, with rewards ranging from 200 USD for a 5,000 USD transfer to 2,000 USD for a 50,000 USD transfer. Investors should note that while transfers into the platform are free, transferring tokens out of Bitget incurs a fee.
The takeaway
