Bitget Wallet has integrated xStocks into its app, adding more than 130 tokenised equities products for its reported 90 million users.

The integration expands Bitget Wallet's real-world asset offering to more than 300 products, including tokenised stocks, exchange-traded funds, commodities, precious metals and index-linked assets. Users can access the new products through the same mobile interface they use for cryptocurrency trading.

xStocks said its tokenised equity products have processed more than USD $30 billion in total transaction volume. The partnership lets users trade those products without traditional brokerage accounts or custodial intermediaries.

The arrangement brings tokenised equities into a self-custodial wallet model, in which users control their own assets rather than relying on a platform to hold them. The products sit alongside more than one million cryptocurrencies already available in the app.

Broader asset mix

The companies are seeking to tap growing interest in blockchain-based versions of listed securities and funds. Tokenised equities are designed to mirror the value of publicly traded shares and ETFs while being transferred and settled on blockchain networks.

The integration includes support for both request-for-quote and automated market maker liquidity models. It is also intended to extend access to trading beyond traditional market hours.

The announcement reflects a broader push by digital asset groups to package conventional financial instruments in formats that can be traded through crypto infrastructure. Supporters argue that tokenised products can reduce barriers linked to geography, market access and legacy brokerage systems, although availability remains restricted in some jurisdictions.

Bitget Wallet describes itself as a self-custodial finance app with more than 90 million users worldwide. It says it does not hold or control user funds, private keys or user data, and that transactions are signed by users and executed on public blockchains.

As part of the launch, eligible Bitget Wallet users will receive a 20% xPoints bonus through the xPoints programme. The companies described it as the first dedicated points increase for wallet users in that scheme.

Alvin Kan, Chief Operating Officer at Bitget Wallet, said the move reflects the growing practicality of tokenised equities. "Tokenised equities are becoming a more practical way for people to access global markets, but the user experience still matters," said Kan.

"By integrating xStocks, we're expanding Bitget Wallet's all-in-one asset shelf to bring together crypto, tokenised stocks, and ETFs in one self-custodial interface, while making onchain trading simpler, faster, and more accessible for users worldwide," he said.

xStocks positions itself as a provider of tokenised US stocks and ETFs backed on a one-to-one basis. Its products are designed to move between centralised exchanges, self-custodied wallets and on-chain applications.

Val Gui, General Manager of xStocks, said the company wants tokenised equities to appear in mainstream crypto wallets rather than separate services.

"Tokenised equities shouldn't live in a silo - they belong in every wallet, right next to the assets people already use every day," said Gui.

"Bitget Wallet's millions of self-custodial users put these assets where users expect to see them. Now they can trade tokenised stocks and ETFs without ever leaving the environment they trust," he said.

The addition underlines how wallet providers are moving beyond crypto-only offerings as competition grows over who controls user access to digital trading markets. For Bitget Wallet, the xStocks integration adds another category of tradable assets within the app, as tokenised versions of conventional securities attract increasing interest across the digital asset industry.
