Bitget has expanded its Stock Dual Investment offering from six products to more than 20 U.S. stock and ETF-linked rTokens and moved settlement for stock-linked contracts to 11:30 p.m. UTC+8. The Aug. 14 update adds exposure tied to major technology names, crypto-linked companies and leveraged semiconductor ETFs, while keeping the product structured around Buy Low and Sell High strategies rather than direct share ownership. Under Buy Low, users subscribe with USDT and set a target price and settlement date; if the linked token settles at or below that level, Bitget converts into the token at the agreed price and pays interest, while if the price stays above the target, users receive their USDT principal and interest. Sell High works in reverse using the relevant stock-linked token, with conversion occurring if the settlement price reaches or exceeds the chosen target. Bitget classifies Dual Investment as non-principal-guaranteed, meaning users can receive a different asset at maturity and may end up converting at a price less favorable than the open market, while funds remain locked until expiry. The company said the new settlement schedule is intended to capture price moves after the U.S. cash equity market opens. The expansion also comes as Bitget pushes further into tokenized traditional assets through its Reality platform, where it has said rTokens are backed 1:1 by shares held through regulated brokerage and custody arrangements. U.S. availability remains unresolved because the exchange has not said the product is open to U.S. residents, even as CEO Gracy Chen has said Bitget plans to establish an independent U.S. entity and seek money-transmitter, derivatives and broker-dealer approvals before entering the market. Separately, Bitget is running two promotions, including an invitation-only deposit campaign through Aug. 21 offering up to 3,000 USDT in non-withdrawable trading bonus vouchers and a merchandise reward program through Aug. 28 based on cumulative subscriptions.
