TechFlow News, June 12: According to an official announcement, to meet users’ round-the-clock trading needs, Bitget has officially launched weekend trading for its stock spot (rToken) products. The initial batch supports 20 popular U.S. equities, including rAAPL (Apple), rNVDA (NVIDIA), and rTSLA (Tesla).
During U.S. market holidays, the platform will generate continuous weekend trading prices based on Friday’s closing prices, market maker quotes, and market expectations. This feature supports limit orders as well as take-profit and stop-loss orders. To mitigate abnormal price fluctuations, the system imposes a protective cap of approximately ±20% on weekend limit orders.
rTokens—identified by the prefix “r” followed by the stock ticker (e.g., rNVDA for NVIDIA)—are issued by Reality, Bitget’s licensed Real World Asset (RWA) protocol. Through a partnership with regulated broker Alpaca, Reality directly connects to global liquidity pools, including NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Key features include: 1:1 reserve backing of underlying assets held by licensed custodians; dividend distributions in tokenized form at a 1:1 ratio; automatic mirroring of corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits; and eligibility of rToken holdings as joint margin collateral across Bitget’s unified account and USD-denominated perpetual contracts—enabling users to hold global equity assets while maintaining flexible capital management.
