Bitget, a leading crypto exchange, has announced the launch of its first real-world asset (RWA) index perpetuals, introducing contracts linked to Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), and Circle (CRCL). This marks a major step in bridging traditional finance with decentralized finance.
What’s New with the RWA Index Perpetuals?
Bitget’s new RWA index perpetual contracts are designed to give traders access to tokenized versions of top traditional assets. These contracts will:
- Offer exposure to Tesla, Nvidia, and Circle tokenized stocks.
- Provide up to 10x leverage for higher trading flexibility.
- Allow trading 5×24 (five days a week, 24 hours a day), mirroring traditional stock market schedules.
The index is a composite of tokenized stocks already available in the market, giving traders diversified exposure under one contract.
Why Is This Important?
According to Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, this launch highlights the exchange’s mission to support innovation and strengthen the connection between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Chen explained:
“With the world’s first RWA Index Perpetual Contract, we are building a complete ecosystem that blends modern finance with traditional markets. This product sets us apart, as it gives traders access to a wide range of assets while bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.”
Key Features of the RWA Index
- Dynamic Structure: The index can add or remove sources based on trading volume, liquidity, and market activity.
- Flexible Pricing: Bitget will adjust index weightings regularly to ensure fair and accurate pricing.
- 5×24 Trading: Contracts will pause on weekends and holidays, with market prices frozen to avoid unwanted liquidation. During these periods, traders can add margin or cancel existing orders, but cannot place new ones.
- Tokenized Pricing Sources: At launch, Bitget will price its index using tokenized stocks available on the xStocks platform.
Why Traders Should Care
For traders, this launch means broader exposure to tokenized assets without relying solely on crypto. It provides a new way to diversify portfolios while still enjoying the benefits of perpetual contracts, such as leverage and continuous market access.
With the addition of these RWA index perpetuals, Bitget strengthens its role as an innovator in the digital finance space, bringing traditional assets into the crypto trading environment in a structured and secure way.
