Bitget Expands Access to US Stocks and ETFs for Nigerian Digital Investors
Bitget, recognized as the world's largest Universal Exchange, is significantly broadening its spot market offerings through a strategic collaboration with Ondo Global Markets. This expansion introduces a new batch of tokenised securities, seamlessly integrating major US equities, index ETFs, and precious metals into a unified trading environment alongside digital assets. For Nigeria's rapidly growing community of digital investors and crypto traders, this development provides an unprecedented opportunity to access global financial markets through blockchain-powered infrastructure.
Unified Trading Environment for Global Market Exposure
The rollout enhances Bitget's multi-asset model, allowing users to trade both cryptocurrency and traditional market exposures side by side, 24/7, within a single USDT-based account. This innovation is particularly beneficial for Nigerian investors seeking to diversify beyond local borders, offering a more streamlined path to engage with international markets, including tech stocks, gold prices, and broader investment opportunities. By leveraging tokenised assets, Bitget eliminates traditional barriers, enabling real-time trading without the constraints of conventional market hours.
Comprehensive Listings of High-Profile Assets
The new listings feature some of the most prominent names in global markets, providing users with direct access to top-tier investments. On the equities front, the lineup includes industry leaders such as Tesla (TSLAon), NVIDIA (NVDAon), Apple (AAPLon), Alphabet (GOOGLon), Microsoft (MSFTon), Amazon (AMZNon), Meta (METAon), and AMD (AMDon). Additionally, the expansion incorporates index ETF products like SPYon, IVVon, QQQon, IWMon, and ITOTon, alongside commodity-linked assets such as IAUon and SLVon, which offer exposure to gold and silver. All these assets are accessible through the same spot interface used for crypto trading, simplifying the user experience.
Strengthening Partnerships and Market Traction
This launch builds upon an existing partnership between Bitget and Ondo, which has evolved over the past several months. In September 2025, Bitget and Bitget Wallet initially introduced access to over 100 tokenised assets through Ondo Finance. Recently, the collaboration deepened with the addition of 98 new tokenised U.S. stocks and ETFs. Bitget has reported strong market traction in this category, noting that Ondo tokenised stock trading on the platform captured approximately 73% market share in early December 2025, rising to about 89% later that month. This growth reflects increasing user demand for blockchain-based access to global financial markets.
Executive Insights on the Expansion
Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget, commented on the strategic move, stating, "Market movements are no longer bound by date and time, and user expectations no longer stop at the boundary between crypto and traditional finance. This expansion with Ondo brings some of the world's most watched equities, index products, and precious metals into our spot market in a way that feels native to how modern users already trade." Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, added, "Bitget is now offering tokenised equities alongside crypto and becoming the everything app, powered by Ondo. Ondo tokenized stocks, ETFs, and commodities are available for trading on every Bitget platform, in size."
This expansion positions Bitget as a comprehensive platform for Nigerian digital investors, bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance while fostering greater financial inclusion and market accessibility.
