Using Tokenized US Stocks as Crypto Loan and Futures Collateral
Summary
The document describes two ways Bitget users can use eligible tokenized US stocks and ETFs, called rTokens, as collateral while retaining their stock-linked exposure. One route pledges rTokens for crypto loans; the other counts their adjusted value toward margin in the Unified Trading Account for eligible futures positions. It gives platform-specific eligibility counts and loan LTV thresholds, along with step-by-step procedures for borrowing or adding rTokens to the margin pool.
The stated benefit is access to liquidity without selling the token, while the main risks include interest, changing collateral values, margin calls, and liquidation. The document notes that spot availability does not mean an rToken qualifies as collateral, and that rTokens do not provide the same shareholder rights or redemption terms as directly held shares. Eligibility, collateral ratios, and loan parameters can change, so the figures are a snapshot rather than durable rules. No independent performance evidence is provided.
Key ideas
- Eligible rTokens can back crypto loans or contribute adjusted collateral value to futures margin.
- Pledged tokens remain locked until a crypto loan is repaid.
- Only a subset of listed tokenized stocks qualifies for either collateral route.
- Falling collateral values can trigger margin calls or liquidation, while loans also accrue interest.
- Tokenized stock exposure does not carry all the rights or terms of directly owned shares.
