Using Dividend-Eligible Stock Tokens as Crypto Trading Margin

Summary

The document describes Bitget’s rTokens, which represent exposure to stocks or ETFs, and explains how eligible tokens can remain held for potential dividends while contributing discounted collateral value to a cross-asset trading account. It gives the calculation as token value multiplied by the asset’s collateral ratio, and illustrates how a 90% ratio would make 9,000 USDT of a 10,000 USDT position count as margin. Eligible cash dividends are described as automatically paid in USDT, subject to holding and record-date rules; the article also discusses withholding and corporate actions.

The document distinguishes the broader set of tradable rTokens from the smaller, changeable set accepted as collateral. Collateral ratios vary by asset and tier, can be reduced for larger positions, and may change with market and risk conditions. A falling token price or losses elsewhere in the account can reduce available margin and lead to liquidation, linking stock and crypto exposures. Fee schedules and eligibility figures are platform-specific and time-sensitive; the article does not independently verify them, and its promised buying instructions are omitted.

Key ideas

• Eligible stock-linked tokens can remain held for exposure and dividend eligibility while their adjusted value supports trading margin.
• Effective collateral value is calculated by multiplying token value by its applicable collateral ratio.
• Only selected tradable tokens qualify as collateral, and eligibility and ratios may change.
• Margin use can connect stock-price declines and crypto trading losses to the same account’s liquidation risk.
• Dividend distributions are subject to holding, record-date, withholding, and product-specific rules.
