Bitget Adds Weekend Trading Support for 14 Spot Stock rTokens Including Sony and Pinduoduo

TechFlow reports that on August 14, Bitget added support for weekend trading of 14 stock spot rTokens, including rPDD (Pinduoduo), rABNB (Airbnb), and rSONY (Sony). Following this update, the number of stock tokens available for weekend trading on the platform has increased to 93. During US market closures, 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 and take-profit/stop-loss settings. To guard against abnormal fluctuations, the system imposes a protective buffer of approximately ±20% on weekend limit orders.

Reportedly, rTokens, identified by the prefix 'r' followed by the stock ticker (e.g., rNVDA for NVIDIA), are issued by Reality, Bitget’s licensed RWA protocol. They connect directly to global liquidity pools such as NASDAQ and NYSE via compliance broker Alpaca. Key features include 1:1 underlying asset reserves held by licensed custodians, 1:1 distribution of stock dividends in token form, synchronized mapping of corporate actions like stock splits and consolidations, and the ability to use positions as cross-collateral for Unified Accounts and USDT-margined contracts, enabling users to flexibly manage their capital while holding global stock assets.
