Bitget – Tech | Business | Economy https://techeconomy.ng Tech | Business | Economy Mon, 27 Apr 2026 20:57:24 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 https://techeconomy.ng/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/cropped-256Px-32x32.png Bitget – Tech | Business | Economy https://techeconomy.ng 32 32 Bitget Launches Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub to Strengthen the Future Web3 Workforce https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-launches-blockchain4youth-learning-hub/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-launches-blockchain4youth-learning-hub/#respond Mon, 27 Apr 2026 20:57:24 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=180585 Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of the Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub: Semester 1, a new education initiative designed to help young learners explore blockchain not only as a field of study, but as a viable career path in the digital economy.

As part of Bitget’s broader Blockchain4Youth initiative, the Learning Hub expands the program’s mission of making blockchain education more accessible and actionable for young people worldwide.

Through recent initiatives such as the LALIGA Youth Tournament in Thailand, its partnership with Google Developer Group on Campus, and the Web3 Young Learners’ Encyclopedia, Blockchain4Youth has engaged more than 15,000 participants since launch, reflecting its ongoing commitment to youth development and the rising interest among students in finding clearer pathways into the Web3 industry.

The Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub combines structured learning with professional recognition and career-oriented support.

Learners who complete the program and pass the assessments will receive a Certificate of Completion signed by Ignacio Aguirre Franco, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitget, giving them a credential they can present across their professional profiles.

The certificate is intended to serve as more than proof of participation. It offers verified recognition of Web3 competency and unlocks access to a broader network of opportunities.

Certificate holders can benefit from priority review for opportunities at Bitget and gain entry to the Blockchain4Youth Talent Alliance, a core pillar of the program designed to connect certified learners with the wider Web3 industry.

Through the alliance, participants can access priority opportunities, industry exposure, and networking channels, creating a clearer pathway between demonstrated knowledge and real-world professional roles.

As part of this effort, Bitget has confirmed a partnership with Bondex, the Web3 professional network behind web3.career, the largest job board in the industry.Through the partnership, Bitget and Bondex aim to make career entry points into Web3 more transparent and accessible for the next generation of builders and professionals

“Most young people trying to break into Web3 hit the same wall, they take a course, then have no network, no verified credentials, and no clear path to a job.” said Ignacio Palomera, Co-Founder of Bondex. “Blockchain4Youth and Bondex fix that. Finish the program, build a verified profile, be discovered in the Bondex trusted talent pool and apply directly to companies hiring on web3.career. It’s the bridge the industry’s been missing.

“A lot of young people are interested in Web3, but interest alone does not always show them where to begin,” said Ignacio Aguirre Franco, CMO of Bitget. “The Learning Hub is about making that first step feel more real by giving learners knowledge, recognition, and a better sense of where this path can lead. When young talent can see opportunity more clearly, they are more likely to believe they belong in the future of this industry.”

Ultimately, Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub reflects a broader commitment to building long-term infrastructure for Web3 education and talent development.

More than a standalone campaign, the Learning Hub demonstrates how Blockchain4Youth is evolving into a sustained platform that supports learners as they move from discovery to skill-building, and from participation to contribution.

Through this initiative, Bitget continues to position itself not only as a platform for digital assets, but also as an ecosystem builder helping shape the workforce that will define the next phase of Web3.

The B4Y Talent Alliance welcomes recruiting companies that want to connect with emerging talent, expand industry access, and create more pathways into Web3. Interested organizations can contact blockchain4youth@bitget.com.

Bitget and BlockSec Introduce the UEX Security Standard, Setting a New Benchmark for Universal Exchanges https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-and-blocksec-introduce-the-uex-security-standard-setting-a-new-benchmark-for-universal-exchanges/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-and-blocksec-introduce-the-uex-security-standard-setting-a-new-benchmark-for-universal-exchanges/#respond Mon, 09 Feb 2026 15:53:56 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=175806 Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange, today announced the release of The UEX Security Standard: From Proof to Protection, a joint research report authored with blockchain security firm BlockSec.

The report outlines a system-level security framework designed for exchanges operating across crypto, tokenized assets, and traditional financial markets within unified account environments.

As trading platforms evolve into Universal Exchanges, first coined by Bitget CEO Gracy Chen at its 7th year anniversary, security challenges extend beyond single-asset custody and on-chain safeguards.

Unified margin systems, shared settlement infrastructure, and cross-market access introduce new risks, with failures at the account, data, or permission layer capable of rippling across products and asset classes.

The report addresses these challenges by shifting the security conversation from isolated controls toward continuous, verifiable resilience.

The UEX Security Standard defines five core benchmarks for the next generation of exchange security: verifiable solvency, multi-asset risk isolation, data security and privacy protection, AI-driven dynamic monitoring, and resilient application and infrastructure defense.

Together, these standards aim to ensure that risks can be contained, correctness can be verified, and trust can scale alongside platform complexity.

The framework is grounded in measurable safeguards already in place at Bitget, including a regular Proof of Reserves reporting and a strong Protection Fund.

These measures are reinforced through collaboration with BlockSec, spanning real-time monitoring, offensive security testing, incident response readiness, and compliance-grade controls such as AML screening and fund tracing.

“The transition to Universal Exchanges changes the nature of security risk,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Security can no longer focus on individual assets or reactive disclosure. It must operate at the system level, where risks are identified early, isolated by design, and verified under real-world conditions.”

From BlockSec’s perspective, the report reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated security architectures.

“UEX is not just a product upgrade. It is a structural shift in how trading infrastructure and security must work,” said Yajin Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of BlockSec. “When you combine crypto-native assets with stocks, ETFs, and other off-chain instruments, the security boundary expands dramatically. Platforms must prove asset transparency, ensure pricing integrity, and secure off-chain dependencies to the same standard as on-chain systems. UEX demands a unified, verifiable security framework that can protect multi-asset trading at scale.”

Beyond technical architecture, the report also emphasizes transparency, emergency response readiness, and user education as part of a comprehensive security model.

It positions security not as a static feature, but as an operating discipline that must evolve alongside market structure and product complexity.

The UEX report is intended to serve as a reference point for exchanges, regulators, and market participants navigating the next phase of multi-asset trading infrastructure.

Nigerians Are Now Investing in U.S. Stocks, ETFs and Crypto On Chain https://techeconomy.ng/nigerians-are-now-investing-in-u-s-stocks-etfs-and-crypto-on-chain/ https://techeconomy.ng/nigerians-are-now-investing-in-u-s-stocks-etfs-and-crypto-on-chain/#respond Mon, 15 Dec 2025 20:11:30 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=172716 A new trend is taking over Nigeria’s investing scene: people want one app that handles both U.S. Stocks, ETFs and crypto, without needing a dollar account, a foreign broker, or any complicated setups.

And Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchanges, says users are already pushing billions in trading volume through its new real world asset-based investing products.

The platform recently announced that its U.S. Tokenized stock  markets have crossed $10 billion+ in global activity, a sign that everyday users are eager for simpler ways to invest in companies like Apple, Tesla, Google, and Amazon, using their local currency to USDT route they already understand.

Bitget also introduced smart AI tools like GetAgent, an AI-powered investing assistant that helps users understand the markets, track trends, and make more informed decisions, especially helpful for beginners trying to get into both stocks and crypto.

What’s New, And Why People Are Paying Attention

More of the brands Nigerians actually follow, Investors are focusing on big names like:

  • Google (GOOGL)
  • Apple (AAPL)
  • Amazon (AMZN)
  • Tesla (TSLA)
  • Microsoft (MSFT)
  • Meta (META)

These are the same companies that are trending on TikTok finance, Twitter Spaces, and WhatsApp investing groups.

You can invest in the U.S. stocks with USDT, no dollar account needed

Instead of dealing with bank transfers and fees, users simply fund USDT (the same way they normally buy crypto on P2P) and get exposure to top U.S. companies instantly.

Everything in one place

Bitget puts:

  • Stocks
  • Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc)
  • Futures
  • Savings (Like traditional savings from banksEarn)
  • GetAgent for AI-guided investing insights

…all under one balance and one app, and it works 24/7.

The idea is simple: instead of juggling between a crypto wallet, a stock brokerage, and a P2P platform, you just use one app.

What You Can Invest In Today

U.S. Stock Exposure (Simple & Easy-to-Understand)

  • These tokenized stock-based products are enabled by tokens issued by the Ondo Global Markets platform. They are designed to give holders the same economic exposure as they would receive if they owned the underlying asset and invested dividends back into the stock. For everyday Nigerians, it works like this: You are holding Apple stocks in your wallet, and both profit and loss are all settled in USDT.
  • Bitget now lists 30+ popular U.S. companies stock on our futures market, popularly known as tokenized stock futures and 100+ spots tokens on-chain, and new ones are added almost weekly.
  • Low fees, flexible leverage: Bitget is running a promo with fees around 0.0065%, and investors can choose whether to keep things simple or use leverage.

Why Nigerians Say It Just “Feels Easier”

1. One app, one balance

Investors track everything, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Apple, Tesla, in the same place.
And with GetAgent, beginners can get personalized market insights, explanations, and guidance within the same app.

2. Naira flows make sense

Instead of trying to send money abroad:

  • Buy USDT on P2P
  • Bitget account is now funded
  • Invest in U.S. companies

This matches how Nigerians already manage crypto.

3. No restricted market hours

U.S. markets open at 3:30pm Nigerian time, but Bitget offers access even outside regular U.S. trading hours, making it friendly for people who work during the day.

Quick Breakdown for Beginners

  • What these stock-based markets are: Think of them as simple digital contracts that follow the price of popular U.S. companies. They move just like real stock, but everything settles in USDT.
  • What they aren’t
  • Not traditional share certificates
  • No dividends
  • No voting rights

They’re meant for easy price exposure, the kind many Nigerians already use in crypto.

Why This Matters to Nigerians Right Now

As devaluation and dollar scarcity continue, more people want:

  • S. Stocks exposure
  • Protection from naira volatility
  • A simple platform they already understand
  • Tools that help them learn and invest smarter

Bitget delivers all this, and GetAgent gives everyday users the kind of market insight that used to be reserved for professionals.

Thoughts

If you already use USDT for savings or trading, Bitget now gives you the missing piece: easy access to Apple, Tesla, Google, Amazon, plus an AI assistant (GetAgent) that helps you make informed investing decisions.

For many Nigerians, it’s becoming the simplest and smartest way to diversify, invest globally, and stay ahead of inflation without long bank processes.

This App Puts Stocks + Crypto in One Place – and Users Just Traded $5B+ in Stock Futures on it https://techeconomy.ng/this-app-puts-stocks-crypto-in-one-place/ https://techeconomy.ng/this-app-puts-stocks-crypto-in-one-place/#respond Mon, 24 Nov 2025 12:39:29 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=171581 Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), says trading in its US stock-linked perpetual futures has surpassed $5 billion in cumulative volume just days after a prior update signaling that everyday users increasingly want stocks and crypto in the same app, with one balance and a 24/7, mobile-first experience.

What’s new and why you should care

  • More of the names people actually follow: recent activity has clustered around MicroStrategy (MSTR), Tesla (TSLA), and Apple (AAPL), tickers that already dominate social finance conversations.
  • Depth of offering: Bitget now lists 30+ USDT-margined stock perpetuals with up to 25× leverage and promotional fees as low as 0.0065% (limited-time 90% fee reduction across all stock futures).
  • It lives in your crypto app: Users fund in USDT, trade BTC/ETH/SOL side-by-side with AAPL/TSLA/NVDA/MSTR, and cash-in/cash-out via P2P or direct rails where available, all without opening a second brokerage.

What you can actually trade today

Stock-linked perpetual futures: coverage launched with 25 leading company tickers (e.g., Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft) and has expanded, with index contracts (e.g., broad-market/tech baskets) added for one-tap exposure. Contracts are margined/settled in USDT.

Fees & leverage: standard maker/taker reduced during the promo to 0.0065%; leverage up to 25× on supported pairs. Check the in-app spec per market before you trade.

Why users say this is simpler

  • One interface, multiple markets: the UEX model puts Crypto, stocks, futures, spot, and Earn under one account, no app-hopping, no separate funding.
  • African funding flows fit naturally: many traders already move between local fiat ↔ USDT via P2P; stock-linked futures let them express a view on AAPL/TSLA/NVDA/MSTR in the same place they manage their crypto.
  • Round-the-clock access: stock-linked contracts run on a crypto venue schedule (with product-specific windows for fair pricing), so users aren’t tied to US market hours.

Quick explainer

  • What these are: Perpetual stock futures that mirror price moves of selected US equities. They’re derivatives, not shares, so no dividends or voting rights. Profits/losses are in USDT.
  • What to check before trading: fees, max leverage, and maintenance margins can change by pair (e.g., periodic leverage updates). Use stop-loss and size small while you learn.

Trust & safety notes editors ask about

  • Proof of Reserves: Bitget publishes PoR, with recent updates citing -186% reserve ratio headlines during the UEX rollout.
  • Protection Fund: Bitget maintains a visible protection fund (recent reports in the $700M+ range) as an extra layer during volatility.

Bitget’s Stock Futures Volume exceeds $1 billion https://techeconomy.ng/bitgets-stock-futures-volume-exceeds-1-billion/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitgets-stock-futures-volume-exceeds-1-billion/#respond Thu, 13 Nov 2025 05:41:07 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=170975 Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announces trading in its US stock-linked futures has passed $300 million  in cumulative volume on the platform, doubling in just two weeks globally.

The milestone points to fast adoption of stock-style exposure inside a crypto app by  users who already fund accounts in USDT and switch between crypto and stock-linked markets on mobile.

“Crossing the $1 billion mark in such a short time shows how fast traders are embracing stock futures as part of a unified digital trading experience,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “It’s a signal that the line between traditional markets and digital assets is disappearing, and our Universal Exchange model is where that convergence is happening first.”

What happened

  • Bitget launched USDT-margined perpetual futures on 25 US stocks (e.g., Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft) and later added contracts like NFLXUSDT, JDUSDT and QQQUSDT. The product targets traders who want stocks exposure but prefer a 24/7 crypto interface.
  • The exchange frames the growth as part of a broader “Universal Exchange (UEX)” model that hosts crypto, tokenized/stock-linked products, and on-chain markets in one place.

Why this matters

Many traders, including those in the African region, have already moved from local fiat to USDT using marketplace sellers on P2P (bank transfer or popular wallets, where supported).

Stock-linked futures let them express a view on familiar tickers like Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA) without leaving the same app they use for BTC/ETH/SOL. In short: one interface, multiple markets, no brokers, no spreads, just one app.

What these products are (and aren’t)

Perpetual “stock futures” on Bitget are derivatives margined in USDT that track selected US equities. They don’t give you company shares or dividends; they mirror price moves so you can go long/short with defined margin and fees.

Bitget cites fees “at or below 0.0065%,” and leverage up to 25x.

Trading is 24/7 on the crypto venue. That’s different from the US stock market timetable and is one reason some users prefer the format.

The African angle

Funding and cash-outs: Users typically fund in local fiat using Bitget P2P, convert to USDT, and trade; when closing positions, they can convert their USDT back to local fiat through P2P sellers that support bank transfer or local wallets.

What they trade: Side-by-side with crypto pairs (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Doge), many watch US tech names that trend on finance Twitter and local forums. Bitget’s note links recent activity to the AI-driven equities rally and strong US earnings season.

Why it’s popular: A single app view for crypto + stock-linked exposure reduces app-hopping and lets users reuse their USDT balance across strategies. Bitget pitches this as the UEX idea: centralized, decentralized, and tokenized markets under one roof.

Simple example

If you think NVIDIA will keep rising on AI demand, you can open an NVDA-linked perpetual long with USDT margin; if you’re right, profits come from your margin, not from owning the stock.

If you think Apple may pull back after earnings, you can short the AAPL-linked contract. It’s a price view tool, not share ownership.

Risks to note

  • Leverage cuts both ways: 25x magnifies potential gains and losses.
  • Derivatives are Not shares: You don’t get voting rights or dividends.
  • Market structure: 24/7 trading may gap versus the underlying when the US market is closed.
  • General crypto risk: Prices are volatile; only trade what you can afford to lose. (Bitget’s risk notice reiterates volatility and the need for independent advice.)

Established in 2018, Bitget is the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), serving over 120 million users with access to millions of crypto tokens, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets on a single platform.

The ecosystem is committed to helping users trade smarter with its AI-powered trading tools, interoperability across tokens on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, and wider access to real-world assets. On the decentralized side, Bitget Wallet runs as the leading non-custodial crypto wallet supporting 130+ blockchains and millions of tokens. It offers multi-chain trading, staking, payments, and direct access to 20,000+ DApps, with advanced swaps and market insights built-in the platform.

Bitget is driving crypto adoption through strategic partnerships, such as its role as the Official Crypto Partner of the World’s Top Football League, LALIGA, in EASTERN, SEA and LATAM markets.

Aligned with its global impact strategy, Bitget has joined hands with UNICEF to support blockchain education for 1.1 million people by 2027. In the world of motorsports, Bitget is the exclusive cryptocurrency exchange partner of MotoGP, one of the world’s most thrilling championships.

Bitget Brings Blockchain and Stock Investing Education to Lagos https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-brings-blockchain-and-stock-investing-education-to-lagos/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-brings-blockchain-and-stock-investing-education-to-lagos/#respond Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:58:56 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=167951 Bitget, the world’s leading Universal Exchange (UEX), gathered hundreds of young Nigerians in Lagos this weekend for a day dedicated to learning about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and how everyday people can now explore access to global stocks and ETFs through digital platforms.

The event offered a mix of practical sessions, interactive quizzes, and open community discussions.

Building Confidence in Blockchain

For many Nigerians, blockchain often feels distant or overly complex. The Lagos Community Education Day set out to change that.

Attendees at recent Bitget event in Lagos

Through interactive lectures and live demonstrations, attendees were introduced to:

• How blockchains work ‒ from Bitcoin to Ethereum and beyond.

• Wallets and safety ‒ comparing custodial and non-custodial options, and how to secure funds.

• Deposits and withdrawals ‒ with examples relevant to Nigeria, including P2P trading, card payments, and mobile money.

• Hands-on trading tools ‒ live demos of spot, futures, and copy trading.

• Research methods ‒ showing participants how to verify projects before investing.

Opening the Door to Global Stocks and ETFs

A standout discussion centered on how crypto exchanges are expanding beyond cryptocurrencies to include access to stocks and ETFs.

Speakers explained that tokenization now makes it possible for Nigerians to gain exposure to global companies like Tesla or Microsoft, or invest in index funds that track entire markets.

By combining stocks and ETFs with blockchain technology, the barriers to international investing are lowered, allowing young people to see opportunities beyond local markets.

“Education is at the heart of our mission,” said Vugar Usi Zade, COO at Bitget. “By creating spaces like this in Lagos, we give communities practical tools to navigate blockchain from the right sources — from wallets and payments to opportunities in global stocks and ETFs. The turnout shows how eager Nigerians are to bridge traditional finance with Web3 innovation.”

A Day of Learning and Networking

The event wasn’t just about theory. Participants took part in two trivia sessions, polls, and breakout networking. Winners received branded merchandise, collectibles, and other rewards.

By the end of the day, many left with not only new knowledge but also connections to peers equally curious about digital finance.

A Regional Movement

The Lagos edition is part of a wider initiative running across Africa, with previous stops in Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Addis Ababa. The goal is to demystify digital finance for young people and provide them with practical skills that can open doors to new economic opportunities.

Continue the Learning Journey

For those who missed the program, digital resources remain available. Readers can check real time asset data such as the price of Ethereum, follow Bitcoin updates, and explore educational guides on how both crypto and tokenized stock markets function.

Established in 2018, Bitget is the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company. Serving over 120 million users in 150+ countries and regions, the Bitget exchange is committed to helping users trade smarter with its pioneering copy trading feature and other trading solutions, while offering real-time access to Bitcoin price, Ethereum price, and other cryptocurrency prices.

Bitget Debuts First-Ever RWA Index Perpetuals Featuring Major Real-World Assets https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-rwa-index-perpetuals/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-rwa-index-perpetuals/#respond Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:39:02 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=165597 Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 platform, has launched the industry’s first RWA (Real-World Asset) Index Perpetual Contract, which went live on August 20, 2025.

This pioneering product allows users to trade tokenised traditional assets, starting with selected RWA products including TSLAUSDT (RWA), NVDAUSDT (RWA), and CRCLUSDT (RWA).

The RWA Index Perpetual Contract is built on a composite of tokenised stock indices already circulating in the market. Each index contains one or more RWA tokens to track prices from different third-party issuers. 

For example, the AAPL RWA Index Perpetual Contract may represent a composite of AAPL tokens issued by a couple of different third-party issuers.

Similar to how existing crypto perpetual contracts derive their index prices from multiple major crypto exchanges, Bitget’s innovative RWA Index Perpetual Contract can dynamically add or remove index sources depending on measurable factors such as market activity, trading volume, and liquidity conditions. 

Bitget may adjust and disclose the index weighting from time to time. This approach guarantees both flexibility and fairness in pricing.

To maintain fair pricing and risk management, the RWA Index Perpetual Contracts will be traded on a 5X24 schedule, closing on weekends and stock market holidays. 

During closure periods, the market price will remain frozen to prevent liquidation; however, users may choose to add margin in anticipation of sharp market moves upon reopening. 

Order cancellations will be allowed during these closures, while new orders will not be accepted. Funding fees will also pause during market closures, with settlement resuming on an hourly cycle when trading is active.

In terms of trading experience, the Bitget RWA Index perpetual contracts share the same mechanics and liquidation process as existing crypto perpetual contracts, reducing the learning curve for users.

To mitigate early-stage risks, Bitget will cap leverage at 10x, support only isolated margin mode, and apply open interest position limits across the platform.

Bitget thrives on innovation that stems from the emerging cryptospace,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “With the world’s first RWA Index Perpetual Contract, we are slowly transitioning into a comprehensive ecosystem of all things finance.

“This product shows the platform’s advancement as compared to other players, as it enables traders with exposure to a modern and traditional range of asset classes, bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.”

At launch, Bitget’ s index pricing will draw from stock tokens issued on the xStocks platform, with plans to onboard additional trusted issuers in the near future. Support for a broader range of RWA perpetual contracts on Bitget Futures is also scheduled for later this quarter.

Terms and conditions apply. To get started, visit here.

Bitget Brings Tokenised Stocks and RWAs to Nigerian Traders https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-brings-tokenised-stocks-and-rwas-to-nigerian-traders/ https://techeconomy.ng/bitget-brings-tokenised-stocks-and-rwas-to-nigerian-traders/#comments Fri, 15 Aug 2025 15:05:09 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=165114 Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is expanding market access for Nigerian investors by introducing tokenised stocks on its Onchain platform through an integration with xStocks. 

This enables Nigerian crypto users to gain exposure to leading MNCs via a blockchain-native interface, bypassing traditional channels. 

Bitget has also joined the Global Markets Alliance by Ondo Finance, a coalition of industry leaders working to standardise and promote interoperability for tokenised securities, driving the adoption of tokenised RWAs such as stocks, ETFs, and more.

Available through Bitget Onchain, Nigerians now have access to tokenised shares of leading U.S. companies, including Apple, Tesla, Amazon, and more. This user-first solution unlocks high-profile equity exposure, frictionlessly bridging crypto and global traditional finance. 

By joining Ondo’s Global Markets Alliance, Bitget joins other trusted infrastructure partners, exchanges, custodians, and DeFi platforms to unlock borderless access to high-quality financial products.

As part of this partnership, Nigerian traders will soon be able to access over 100 tokenised U.S. equities, ETFs, and money market funds, expanding their investment universe beyond traditional crypto assets.

Why it matters for Nigerian investors:
