Stocks Are Going On-Chain And Wall Street Is SCARED

The stock market is moving onchain. Everywhere  you look, real world assets or RWAs are being   tokenized and turned into 24/7 assets that can  be traded using crypto rails. Be that treasuries,   commodities, private credit, real estate, or  whatever else. But of all the RWAs out there,   the most practical thing to tokenize by far is  stocks. And it's the stock market's biggest shift   in 30 years since it moved to electronic trading  in the 1990s. But why is this such a big deal?   Well, tokenized stocks have several advantages  over their traditional counterparts. Mainly that   they improve access and efficiency. Traditionally,  stocks could only be traded during exchange hours   with the market only open for a limited window  throughout the day and being closed on weekends   and holidays. Tokenized stocks, however, sit  on the blockchain, and the blockchain runs   continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  For investors living in different time zones,   this makes the market far more flexible. And  it also means they're more transparent than   traditional stocks because supply, holders, and  transfers can all be tracked on a blockchain   explorer. Meanwhile, another benefit is with  settlement times. With traditional stocks, it can   take a few days for legal ownership to be settled  after a trade is executed. Tokenized stocks though   can settle near instantly on chain as soon as a  transaction is confirmed with everything handled   automatically with smart contracts. Not only that,  but you'll usually pay lower fees with tokenized   stocks, too. Legacy stock market infrastructure  involves multiple intermediaries, each one adding   operational costs. Onchain tokenized trading  removes all this by automating settlement   through smart contracts. Tokenized stocks also  enable fractional ownership where investors can   buy smaller chunks of higher price stocks, thereby  lowering the barrier to entry. But it doesn't stop   there. On top of that, investors can use DeFi  platforms to post stock tokens as collateral   in lending protocols, trade them on dexes,  or use them in onchain yield strategies. So,   as you can see, then stock tokens are a pretty big  deal. But where can you actually trade them? Well,   one of the best platforms for tokenized  stocks is BitGet. If you watched our video   about accessing the whole of crypto and TRDFI  under one account, you'll know that BitGet has   created the world's largest universal exchange  or UEEX, giving you access to crypto and trades has three main pillars. CFDs, that is contracts  for difference, stock perk tokens. Now, CFDs allow   you to make bets on the difference in an asset's  price from the moment you open a position to when   you close it. Stock pers are a type of derivative  that let you trade the price of a stock with   leverage without actually owning that stock,  while stock tokens are closer to trading the   underlying stock itself. And by the way, you can  learn more about the UEEX and the range of TRDFI   products it has in our dedicated video right over  here. Now, June was a pretty big month for BitGet,   especially when it comes to the products that it  has on offer on its universal exchange. That's   when BitGet unveiled its stock 2.0 model, which  takes tokenized stocks to a whole new level. The   Stock 2.0 ecosystem has two headline products,  Stock Plus and R tokens. But what exactly are   these products and how do they work? Well, let's  start with Stock Plus. This product works a little   differently to other tokenized stock models  because it allows you to invest directly into   a company's stock using the funds you have  in your UEEX account. Just fund your account   like you normally would with any crypto account.  Convert those assets into USDC and you're ready   to go. And yes, you did hear that correctly.  You're investing in that stock directly, not   just a synthetic version or a derivative. In other  words, the stock plus model gives you something   that's hard to find in the tokenized RWA space,  and that is true ownership of the underlying   shares themselves. This means you're eligible for  cash dividends and stock split adjustments. So,   if you own two shares priced at $600 each and  the company performs a three for one split, your   holdings become six shares priced at $200 each.  BitGet handles everything automatically while your   positions stay the same, which is very convenient.  What's even more convenient though is that Stock   Plus also allows you to transfer stocks from  participating brokers onto BitGet, allowing you   to consolidate all your equity holdings into one  unified platform. Now, the other headline product   under the stocks 2.0 model is R tokens, which  are tokenized US stocks issued by the Reality   Protocol. More on that later. Now, where Stock  Plus gives investors direct access to stocks,   our tokens gives users a way to gain exposure  to more than 500 stocks and ETFs by using USDT,   meaning you can trade equities without ever having  to leave BitGet's crypto platform. Unlike Stock   Plus, our tokens don't provide direct ownership  to the underlying assets they represent. Instead,   they essentially track the price performance  of that stock or ETF. What our tokens do offer,   though, is compatibility with crypto's defy use  cases. So, you could buy R NVDA tokens to get   tokenized exposure to Nvidia stock and then use  those R tokens in borrowing and lending protocols,   futures, grid trading, and yield farming  strategies. This opens the door to some   serious money-making opportunities that you simply  can't find with the traditional stock market. Even   though R tokens don't provide true ownership of  the underlying stock, however, you'll still be   able to receive dividend payouts. And because each  R token is fully backed onetoone with real shares,   those stocks spplit functionalities I mentioned  earlier apply here, too. And what's really great   is that you can do all of this in BitGeex. You  don't need to juggle your crypto account and a   separate brokerage account to implement whatever  trading strategy springs to mind. Just one account   that can handle everything. Now, with all this  talk of BitGet's stock 2.0 model, you're probably   wondering why a second version was even necessary.  After all, tokenized stocks haven't been around   that long with the first implementation being  rolled out in late 2020. Well, even though they're   a fairly recent development, there are a few  areas where stock tokens fall short. Beforehand,   tokenized stocks offered no true shareholder  rights. Most retail tokenized stocks are synthetic   or custodial rappers. This means the token tracks  the price of a share, but true ownership stays   with the custodian, not the token holder. There's  also regulatory and legal uncertainty with many   stock tokens. Basically, they sit in a gray area  across certain jurisdictions where securities   laws and investor protections aren't applied very  consistently. The biggest problem with tokenized   stocks, though, is that they have surprisingly  low liquidity. Even though tokenized stocks have   presented one of the biggest market opportunities  in recent years, many suffer with thin secondary   markets and concentrated ownership. This often  creates wide spreads where trades are harder   to execute and are often executed at a different  price to what you'd expect. And because tokenized   stocks have historically relied on cross-chain  bridges, gas fees, and multiple wallets, they've   added extra layers of friction, complexity, and  cost. So, this has all made it much harder for   tokenized stocks to gain the traction they need,  especially when none of those issues exist with   a traditional brokerage account. With the stock  2.0 model though, BitGet aims to make three major   improvements around liquidity, transparency,  and capital efficiency. That's because stock   2.0 is designed to integrate with real equity  market liquidity through global platforms. So,   this means deeper order books with tighter  spreads, faster trade execution, and an easier   experience all round. And because the UEEX allows  you to handle everything in one place, there's no   additional complexity and no added costs to worry  about for juggling multiple platforms at once. But   I hear you ask, just how easy is it to trade  tokenized stocks on BitGet? Well, why don't I   show you? Let's head on over to BitGet. Navigate  to the stocks 2.0 page, and we'll leave a link in   the description for your convenience. Once you're  there, hit that all enticing trade now button.   Then search for the stock you're interested in.  We're using Nvidia for this example. You'll notice   the ticker is R NVDA because we're trading one of  BitGet's R tokens. What really stands out though   is that the layout is exactly what you'd expect  when trading crypto. That means you can trade   in exactly the same way too, using USDT to place  limit and market orders. Just enter the amount you   want to buy, click that green buy button and your  R tokens will appear in your account. See, told   you it was easy. So then, now that you understand  what R tokens are and how to trade them, let's   look at how they're actually backed. Well, right  before BitGet first announced its stock 2.0 model,   the first thing it did was launch the Reality  protocol. Now, reality is the platform that issues   BitGet's tokenized RWAS, including our tokens,  and it was designed to give tokenized equities the   infrastructure they need to see the adoption they  deserve. Bit CEO Gracie Chen predicts that around   10% of all financial assets will be tokenized  by 2030. And yet participation has been low   due to a range of factors. Geographic location,  limited trading hours, platform fragmentation,   and constraints around settlement times. Reality  was purpose-built to connect Tradfi markets with   blockchain infrastructure, making the tokenized  stock market more accessible. It works alongside   other major exchanges, including NASDAQ and the  New York Stock Exchange. Each R token issued by   reality is backed onetoone by real shares. BitGet  also uses third-party auditors to provide proof of   reserves in real time. Those shares are held with  Alpaca, a licensed US broker founded in 2015 that   provides self-clearing brokerage infrastructure  for stocks and ETFs. Alpaca is registered with   the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or  FINRA and protected by the Securities Investor   Protection Corporation or SIPC. Notably, that SIPC  protection also keeps your asset safeguarded by   giving your account coverage of up to $500,000.  And what's great is that BitGet gives you a   commissionfree way to trade our tokens, which  means you can get exposure to Apple, Tesla,   Nvidia, and Microsoft stocks without paying  anything in trading fees. BitGet also doesn't   charge any management or custodian fees, which  keeps the cost of trading our tokens incredibly   low. Holding our tokens allows you to receive  dividends which are settled automatically in USDT.   And this means there's no need to claim those  dividend payouts manually. They simply appear in   your account. Pretty sweet, right? That said, we  should remind you that our tokens don't give you   true ownership of the underlying assets, meaning  you won't get any voting rights. So, by this point   then, you understand what our tokens are and  why they're such a gamecher. It's no surprise   then that our tokens surpassed $100 million in  assets under management within the first month   of going live. That's some seriously impressive  traction right off the bat. But if you thought   that our tokens are basically just stock trading  on crypto rails, well, you're only half right. Not   only do our tokens give you exposure to the price  performance of the stocks or ETFs they represent,   but you can also use them across BitGet's broader  ecosystem. On the 17th of July, BitGet announced   the industry's first ever crossasset unified  account or UTA. This announcement brings more   than 370 tokenized assets, including around 100  eligible R tokens into a single margin pool,   opening up all kinds of opportunities that you  probably didn't even think about. Essentially,   unified accounts treat RWA the same way as they  treat crypto assets. This means that eligible   R tokens can be used as margin for futures and  margin trading strategies or as collateral for   borrowing things like stable coins. But it doesn't  stop there. Unified accounts also mean that our   tokens can be used in copy trading strategies. So  if you're a passive investor or someone who isn't   too confident in actively trading, you can simply  copy other traders who are more experienced in   trading equities. That way, every time they make  a trade, you make the same trade automatically.   Then, whenever the pros make money, so do  you. And if automated investing is your thing,   then good news. You can even use BitGet's trading  bots to execute trades automatically, allowing you   to implement trading strategies without lifting  a finger. And there are two tools that BitGet   trading bots can help you out with here. Auto  invest and smart portfolios. As the name suggests,   auto invest allows you to invest in assets  automatically at regular intervals, including   R tokens. You can set this up on a schedule that  suits you. So, if you want to buy $50 worth of   shares in Strategies RMS token every Sunday  at 3:00 a.m., well, there's nothing stopping   you. The point is, this autoinvest feature allows  you to create your automated strategies with the   obvious standout being dollar cost averaging  or DCA. Smart portfolios, on the other hand,   allow you to automatically copy a range of  recommended portfolios. These include portfolios   based on the MAG 10, Serenity's holdings, and even  Trump and Elon Musk themed portfolios. It's pretty   straightforward. You just click the portfolio you  want to copy, enter the amount you want to invest,   and you'll automatically buy the R tokens in that  portfolio. All right, then. So, now that you know   all about BitGet's stock 2.0 model. You might be  wondering which product is right for you. Well,   the answer really depends on what type of  investor you are. If you're looking for a   more traditional stock trading experience, Stock  Plus gives you that without leaving the crypto   platform. You'll get direct ownership to over  10,000 assets with automatic dividend payments   in USDT. But if you want a more cryptonative  experience, then our tokens are the way to go.   You'll get exposure to more than 500 stocks and  ETFs and can leverage them across BitGet's wider   ecosystem. This means you can use these R tokens  in futures, lending, copy trading, grid trading,   and a selection of BitGet yield products. In our  opinion, R tokens are the most exciting product,   but that's not to say Stock Plus isn't awesome  in its own right. That said, if you are thinking   of trading R tokens, there are a few things  you need to know first. As mentioned earlier,   R tokens don't give you ownership of the  underlying shares, and you won't get any voting   rights. Some R tokens have different conditions  like trading hours, liquidity, spreads, fees,   and order execution. And not every R token is  tradable 24/7. And you should know that dividends   for R tokens can be subject to deductions.  So, check the dividend rules for each product.   It's also worth keeping in mind that some  cryptonative strategies will bring additional   risk. While R tokens can be used as marginal  collateral, these things can be affected if the   price of that R token fluctuates. You could even  be liquidated if the price moves against you too   much. So, treat our tokens like any other crypto  and proceed with caution. The last thing you want   to do is look for a way to make extra profit  only to be wiped out entirely. Nevertheless,   there's no denying that BitGet stock 2.0 model is  a cool offering, giving investors a whole heap of   opportunities that go far beyond simply trading  stocks on a blockchain. With just one account, you   can leverage BitGet's tokenized stock offerings  in products and strategies that simply aren't   possible with a traditional brokerage account.  And what's more, the tokenized stock market is   projected to be a multi-trillion dollar industry  by 2030 if just 1% of global stocks get tokenized.   And when you remember that Gracie Chen believes  it'll be closer to 10%, that goal doesn't feel   optimistic, it feels inevitable. Bit is already  the leading exchange for onchain trad products,   and stock 2.0 will only strengthen that lead.
