Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 innovator, has announced the expansion of its Real-World Asset (RWA) Index Perpetual Futures, adding five global giants, Apple (AAPL), Alphabet/Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and McDonald’s (MCD). The new contracts are settled in USDT, offer up to 10x leverage, and support isolated margin mode, making them more flexible for a wide range of traders.
This move builds on the platform’s earlier success with Tesla, Nvidia, and Circle, which marked Bitget’s first foray into RWA futures. By integrating some of the world’s most valuable brands into its trading suite, the exchange is reinforcing its role at the crossroads of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Bitget’s CEO, Gracy Chen, highlighted the company’s mission to democratize access to global equities. “By tokenizing equity indices of industry leaders like Apple, Amazon, and Meta, we are removing barriers and giving people everywhere the opportunity to engage with the biggest companies in the world, all through a crypto-native platform,” she explained.
The new futures contracts are designed to appeal not only to experienced investors but also to emerging markets where access to Wall Street stocks is often limited. Chen emphasized that traders from Africa, Asia, and Latin America can now gain exposure to Tier-1 global stocks without relying on traditional brokerage systems.
Beyond accessibility, Bitget has focused on strengthening investor protections. The RWA futures are equipped with institutional-grade risk controls, including isolated margin trading, capped leverage, insured auto-deleveraging (ADL), and dynamic index rebalancing. These measures aim to ensure stability and reliability as the platform scales to meet the growing demand for RWA trading worldwide.
