Bitget has opened an in-kind route from outside brokerages into its rToken market for eligible U.S. stocks and ETFs, pairing transfers with new order matching to connect brokerage holdings with tokenized trading.

Bitget said the service became available Oct. 13, 2026, and covers more than 3,000 eligible U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds. Customers can move qualifying holdings from another brokerage without selling first. The outside broker sends the securities through a free-of-payment (FOP) process to an omnibus account Bitget designated at Alpaca. After they arrive and are processed, Bitget says it credits the customer's spot account with matching rTokens.

Super Match uses a separate order path. Bitget's guide says it first attempts to match orders on its own platform; any remaining quantity can be routed through StockRoute, an Alpaca connection to U.S. markets. The company says the system is meant to bring its internal trading flows together with market makers and other liquidity sources. Bitget presents the service as a way to connect brokerage holdings with its digital-asset infrastructure.

Bitget Research reported about $114 million in rToken assets under management as of July 6, 2026, and $671.37 million in cumulative trading volume from the product's June 2 launch through July 8, 2026. Bitget says supported rTokens can be traded on the spot market and may be used for margin, borrowing, lending or earn products where those services are available. Its cited announcements do not provide before-and-after figures for spreads, order-book depth or fill rates.

The exchange estimates an incoming transfer takes about 10 business days and charges no fee for it, although the sending broker may charge its own fee. Bitget's FAQ lists a $150 charge per request, per asset, to move rTokens back to an outside broker. The company says each rToken is backed 1:1 by its corresponding stock or ETF. Bitget's FAQ says the tokens represent beneficial interests rather than direct registered share ownership and generally do not confer shareholder voting rights.

Bitget gave Oct. 14-20, 2026, as the Super Match migration window and scheduled full rollout for Oct. 20 at 12 a.m. ET (04:00 UTC).
