Bitget expands into tokenised stocks, ETFs and commodities

Bitget has expanded its trading platform to include tokenised U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and precious metals, reflecting growing demand among Kenyan investors for access to global markets.

The Seychelles-based exchange said the new offering allows users to trade digital assets alongside traditional market instruments within a single USDT-based account.

It brings major U.S. technology stocks, index-tracking ETFs, and commodities such as gold and silver into its spot market. Among the equities now available are shares linked to Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and AMD.

Index ETFs tracking broader markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, as well as commodity-backed assets tied to gold and silver, are also included.

“Market movements are no longer bound by date and time, and investors expect access across both crypto and traditional markets,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

“This expansion brings some of the world’s most watched equities, index products, and precious metals into our spot market in a way that feels native to how modern users already trade.”

Kenyan investors are increasingly seeking exposure to international assets, driven by interest in technology stocks and commodities not directly accessible through the Nairobi Securities Exchange.

Integration with mobile money platforms like has lowered barriers for local investors converting shillings into USDT. Bitget’s latest move builds on its partnership with Ondo Finance, which provides the underlying tokenisation infrastructure.

The two firms began offering tokenised assets in 2025, with the catalogue now expanding to include a wider range of equities and funds

. Industry data from the company indicates rising activity in tokenised stock trading on the platform in recent months, pointing to growing appetite for blockchain-based exposure to traditional financial markets.

Unlike conventional brokerage platforms that operate within fixed trading hours, the tokenised instruments on Bitget are available around the clock.

This allows users to react to global economic developments, corporate earnings and market sentiment in real time, including outside standard trading sessions.

The development signals a broader shift in how investors access global markets, with digital platforms increasingly blending cryptocurrency trading with traditional financial assets.
