Bitget, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced a landmark innovation by launching the industry’s first Real-World Asset (RWA) Index Perpetual Contract.
This new product allows users to speculate on the price of tokenized traditional assets like stocks without ever having to own the underlying security.
Set to go live today, as
announced, the initial contracts will include popular company stocks such as Tesla and Nvidia.

The index pricing is derived from a composite of RWA tokens from multiple third-party issuers, a method similar to how crypto perpetual contracts track prices from various exchanges.
This initiative is a significant step in bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). To maintain stability and align with traditional market hours, the RWA perpetual contracts will be traded on a 5×24 schedule, closing on weekends and during stock market holidays to prevent sharp price swings. Bitget has also capped initial leverage at 10x and is limiting open interest to mitigate risk during this early phase of adoption.
