Summary

Bitget said its pledge-based lending platform now lets users use stock tokens, branded as rToken, as collateral. The initial rollout covers 26 U.S. stock and ETF tokens, including rNVDA, rAAPL, rGOOGL and rQQQ. The feature allows users to borrow assets such as USDT and USDC against those holdings rather than selling them, a structure commonly used in crypto lending to unlock liquidity while maintaining market exposure. The service is already live on the web version, and app support is due next week.
