Bitget outlines stock token margin rules for futures and UTA accounts

Bitget has now named 15 U.S. stock tokens that can be posted as collateral in Unified Account and USDT-margined futures cross-margin mode, adding to earlier guidance on haircuts and weekend valuation.

Fact Check
The official Bitget support announcement at bitget.cloud explicitly lists 15 stock tokens added as margin currencies in the Unified Account and U-margined futures joint-margin mode, exactly matching the claim. Two independent crypto news outlets (Odaily and BlockBeats) corroborate the same count and token list and link back to the Bitget official notice. The claim's framing about adding to earlier haircut/weekend valuation guidance is consistent with the linked rules article for stock assets as margin referenced in the official announcement.

Summary

Bitget said 15 U.S. stock tokens are now supported as collateral assets in Unified Account and in USDT-margined futures cross-margin mode, giving effect to an earlier framework under which eligible tokenized equities can be used as margin without first being sold into USDT. The newly listed collateral assets are rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rMU, rTSLA, rGOOGL, rNVDA, rINTC, rMSFT, rASML, rAVGO, rTSM, rSNDK, rQQQ and rSPY. Bitget had previously said stock tokens used as collateral are subject to haircut-based collateral ratios rather than being valued 1:1, with effective margin based on index price multiplied by the applicable ratio. The exchange also previously said stock token prices are fixed at the most recent extended-session close during weekends and U.S. stock market holidays, while liquidation rules remain aligned with other margin assets. It warned that although token valuation is frozen during closures, overall account risk can still change in real time through futures profit and loss, and a lower reopening price in the U.S. market could sharply reduce effective margin.

Terms & Concepts
  • stock tokens: Tokenized representations of stocks that can trade on a crypto platform.
  • collateral ratio: A risk haircut that reduces the value credited to an asset when it is used as margin.
  • cross-margin: A margin system in which available collateral is shared across positions in the account.
