Overview
- Bitget announced Stock+ on Monday, June 22, 2026, a feature that lets eligible users fund stock purchases by converting crypto into Circle’s USDC and buying U.S.-listed shares.
- Orders are routed through U.S.-licensed brokers RQD Clearing and Atomic Vaults Securities so buyers receive actual share positions eligible for dividends and stock-split adjustments.
- Shareholder rights and custody are mediated by Bitget and its broker partners, meaning users hold economic ownership but exercise voting and other rights through Bitget rather than by direct in-name registration.
- The rollout is heavily geo-restricted and does not include the U.S., U.K., EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and several other countries, and outbound transfers of shares are not available at launch.
- Bitget priced Stock+ from 0.1% with a 50% promotional discount through August 31, 2026, and the product is part of a wider industry push to merge tokenized equities, stablecoin settlement, and brokerage services on crypto platforms.
