Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I. Basic Product Information

1. What exactly is Bitget US Stocks?

Bitget US Stocks is a real US stock trading channel launched by Bitget. Through deep partnerships with licensed US brokers RQD Clearing and Atomic Vaults Securities, US stock orders are routed directly to NASDAQ, the NYSE, and compliant market makers for execution, boasting premium market liquidity. Users can buy, sell, and hold real US equities directly within the Bitget App, enjoying full shareholder rights, including cash dividends, stock dividends, and voting rights.

2. What is the difference between Bitget US Stocks and rTokens (US Stock Tokens)?

The fundamental difference lies in the underlying assets and equity attributes:

Bitget US Stocks: Represents real stocks held in custody under a compliant broker. Users hold actual US stock assets and enjoy full shareholder rights (cash/stock dividends, voting rights, etc.).

rToken: On-chain mapped tokens representing the tracking price and tokenized beneficial ownership of US stocks, backed 1:1 by stocks held in custody by a licensed broker. The holding format is an on-chain token rather than direct stock ownership in a traditional brokerage account.

3. Does Bitget hold its own brokerage license?

Services related to Bitget US Stocks trading are provided by Parsa Financial Services Pty Limited, an entity under the Bitget Group. Parsa is a licensed financial services provider in South Africa (License No. FSP 52563) and is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa. This business is operated by Parsa in collaboration with compliant, licensed US brokers RQD Clearing and Atomic Vaults Securities. The stock assets held by users are independently custodied by the US clearing broker RQD Clearing. Client assets are strictly segregated from the platform's own funds, and the entire asset operation complies with the corresponding regulatory frameworks of South Africa and the United States.

II. Account Opening & Management

1. Do I need to open a new account to use Bitget US Stocks? What are the requirements?

You need to open a separate securities sub-account, but the system will seamlessly reuse the Advanced KYC verification information you have already completed on the main Bitget platform—no need to resubmit your documents. It is available to all users except those residing in compliance-restricted countries or regions.

2. What is the relationship between my Bitget US Stocks account and my main Bitget account?

Your Bitget US Stocks account is an independent sub-account within your main Bitget account. They operate under segregated asset management: You must first transfer funds from your main account to your US stocks sub-account before you can trade. The sub-account's assets are calculated independently and do not affect any other operations or balances in your main account.

3. Is it possible to trade US stocks directly using multiple currencies?

We support two-way conversion between USDC and USD for deposits and withdrawals; however, direct trading with other crypto or fiat currencies is not supported at this time. The Bitget US Stocks account uses the US Dollar (USD) as its settlement and pricing currency. All US stock transactions are conducted in USD.
