xStocks now live in Bitget Wallet for 90 million self-custodial users

May 19, 2026

Tokenized equities belong in every wallet. Now they're in one of the largest.

xStocks is now integrated into Bitget Wallet, giving more than 90 million self-custodial users direct access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs from the same interface they already use for crypto.

The integration puts tokenized equities alongside more than a million crypto assets in a single mobile wallet, with zero trading fees and gasless execution. No brokerage account necessary. No custodial intermediary. Same self-custody properties users already expect from their digital assets.

Equities meet self-custody

For most of the world, gaining exposure to U.S. capital markets still means opening a brokerage account, navigating jurisdiction-specific workflows, and accepting custody terms set by someone else. Bitget Wallet's integration changes that calculus.

"Tokenized equities shouldn't live in a silo. They belong in every wallet, right next to the assets people already use every day," said Val Gui, GM of xStocks. "Bitget Wallet's millions of self-custodial users put these assets where users expect to see them. Now they can trade tokenized stocks and ETFs without ever leaving the environment they trust."

Users can access tokenized versions of Apple (AAPLx), NVIDIA (NVDAx), Tesla (TSLAx), the S&P 500 (SPYx) and hundreds more, settled onchain through the same mobile experience they already know.

"By integrating xStocks, we're expanding Bitget Wallet's all-in-one asset shelf to bring together crypto, tokenized stocks and ETFs in one self-custodial interface, while making onchain trading simpler, faster and more accessible for users worldwide," said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet.

Where wallets are headed

This is the pattern playing out across the ecosystem. Tokenized equities are moving from standalone products into the infrastructure people already use – exchanges, lending protocols, wallets – with each integration making onchain equities more accessible and more composable.

Bitget Wallet's scale (90 million users across 168 countries) makes this one of the largest self-custodial distribution channels for tokenized equities to date. And because the assets are onchain, users retain full custody and portability.

More wallets, more platforms, same direction. Global markets, self-custodied, and always available.
