Crypto exchange Bitget has launched Reality, a platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), as the company deepens its push into tokenization.

In a Tuesday statement shared with The Block, Bitget said Reality will initially focus on tokenized exposure to selected U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds, and will integrate the platform into Bitget's broader trading ecosystem.

Specifically, Reality will serve as the issuing platform for "rTokens," onchain representations of publicly traded equities and ETFs, according to the statement. Each rToken is 1:1 backed by real shares held with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected U.S. broker-dealer.

Bitget said Reality is designed to give users access to markets that geography, trading hours, fragmented platforms, and settlement barriers have traditionally constrained. For example, users will be able to use tokenized equities as unified account margin to maximize capital efficiency, the company said.

"Reality is built around Bitget's 10% vision: by 2030, nearly 10% of financial assets could exist in tokenized form," Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said in the statement. "Stablecoins, faster blockchain settlement, and growing interest from major exchanges are pushing RWAs from experiment to market infrastructure."

Bitget has recently expanded its push into tokenized offerings. Last month, it launched IPO Prime, a subscription-based market for pre-IPO tokenized allocations. According to the Tuesday statement, Bitget offers access to more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and gold.

TradFi analysts have increasingly suggested that tokenization could reshape the broader funds industry. "We believe tokenization will certainly drive how the market changes, not just for ETFs but across the funds industry as a whole," Ciarán Fitzpatrick, JPMorgan's global head of ETF product, said last month.

In January, Ark Invest, an investment firm led by Cathie Wood, projected that tokenized assets could surpass $11 trillion by 2030. The RWA market currently stands at $34.1 billion in distributed-asset value, with U.S. Treasury debt accounting for $15.3 billion, according to data from RWA.xyz.
