Bitget has launched Stock+, a new offering under its Stocks 2.0 suite that allows users to purchase full and fractional U.S. stocks with digital assets converted into Circle's USDC stablecoin.
The feature provides ownership of underlying shares, according to a statement shared with The Block. Stock+ users are eligible for cash dividends and stock split adjustments, though the exchange clarified that exercising shareholder rights such as voting and dividend collection must be conducted through the Bitget platform.
Bitget said the new feature also supports inbound transfers of existing U.S. stock holdings from participating brokers, allowing users to consolidate equity positions within a single portfolio. Outbound transfers are not available at this stage, with the exchange noting that functionality will be opened "in due course."
Stock+ trades are executed through U.S.-licensed brokers RQD Clearing and Atomic Vaults Securities, with order routing to Nasdaq, the NYSE, and compliant market makers, the exchange said. Services tied to U.S. stock trading are provided by Parsa Financial Services Pty Limited, a Bitget group entity licensed in South Africa.
The global rollout is geographically restricted, with availability excluding residents of the UK, Australia, Canada, EU member states, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and several other jurisdictions including India, Kenya, and Vietnam. The restricted list also covers Algeria, Angola, Bolivia, Cameroon, Kuwait, Laos, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, Syria, Papua New Guinea, and the British Virgin Islands, among others.
Bitget said the launch advances its "universal exchange" vision of bringing crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and equities together within a single platform.
The debut builds on the exchange's Stocks 2.0 overhaul announced in early June, when it introduced Reality, a regulated real-world asset protocol, and its rToken tokenized stocks.
According to the exchange, it currently offers more than 500 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds, while assets under management tied to rToken products have exceeded $50 million.
