Introducing Reality: Real Assets, Rebuilt for the On-Chain World

We're excited to announce the launch of Reality, a regulated real-world asset (RWA) issuance platform built for global markets. Previously, tokenized stocks have forced a trade-off between regulation and freedom, or between real dividends and real liquidity. Reality ends that compromise.

What Is Reality?

A subsidiary of @bitget, Reality works with licensed brokers on major exchanges including Nasdaq and NYSE to secure underlying assets, safeguards them with independent custodians, and issues the corresponding economic exposure on-chain. This unlocks a new standard of access and efficiency for real-world assets globally.

Reality aims to make the future of finance the default, not the exception. Its vision is to dissolve the old boundaries between traditional markets and crypto, turning tokenized assets into the natural, invisible layer of a single, always‑on, borderless financial system—where stocks, bonds, ETFs, Treasuries, and DeFi yields all live under one unified logic. Reality is building the infrastructure that turns “tokenized assets” into simply “assets,” and transforms finance from something constrained by time and geography into something that behaves like the real world: open, global, and always moving.

What Makes Reality Special?

In pursuit of a new standard for finance, Reality is defined by the following features that reimagine how real‑world assets are tokenized, traded, and integrated across both traditional markets and DeFi.

• 1:1 Backed by Real Securities

Every rToken is fully collateralized by real securities held through regulated brokers. Reserve ratios are maintained above 100% at all times and are independently verifiable on-chain.

• Institutional-grade liquidity

Sourced directly from Nasdaq and NYSE through licensed brokers, matching the depth and execution quality of traditional securities.

• Clean Token Pricing

Dividends are distributed in stablecoins, ensuring the token price consistently reflects the underlying share without distortion from rebasing or reinvestment adjustments.

• 24/5 Minting & Redemption

rTokens can be minted and redeemed around the clock, five days a week, using stablecoins.

• Flexible Settlement Model

Reality supports both real-time and asynchronous (deferred) settlement. In both modes, underlying share transactions are executed in real time through licensed brokers. Tokens can be minted or burned instantly, or netted daily for maximum capital efficiency.

• Low Barrier to Invest

Fractional tokens are fully supported, allowing end users to gain exposure to any asset with a low minimum and no requirement to purchase a full token.

• Permissionless & DeFi Composable

rTokens are fully transferable and natively composable. They can be used as collateral, deployed across protocols, or integrated into any compatible DeFi infrastructure without restrictions.

• Full Asset Class Coverage

Reality launches with stocks and is designed to extend across ETFs and bonds, providing access to the full spectrum of real-world assets through a single platform.

Built on Trust & Transparency

Reality is built on a foundation of trust and transparency, powered by a regulated, audited, and over‑collateralized infrastructure that keeps users at the center of the design.

• Regulated infrastructure: FINRA-registered, SIPC-member broker-dealer operating under a self-clearing model with final securities registration at DTCC

• Over-collateralized reserves: Maintained above 100% at all times

• Independent CPA attestation: Reserve holdings independently verified and attested by The Network Firm, a licensed CPA firm, with reports published regularly and publicly accessible

• Audited smart contracts: Independently reviewed by leading security firms, with reports publicly available

From day one, Reality was built to solve two problems that have held tokenized assets back: thin liquidity and broken corporate actions. The 1:1 backing through regulated brokers, stablecoin dividends that land in your wallet automatically, 24/5 minting and redemption, real-time corporate action mirroring, and permissionless DeFi composability — each feature addresses a specific failure of existing RWA products. Together, they form a complete issuance platform that treats tokenized stocks with the same rigor and transparency as the underlying assets themselves. Now, users have access to U.S. equities through a regulated, verifiable, and composable on-chain wrapper. This is what tokenization was always supposed to be.
