spent some time testing bitget’s new stock 2.0 product this week here’s my thought, from a trader’s perspective • let’s start from the good: the execution feels noticeably better than most tokenized stock products i’ve used. order books don’t feel empty, fills are fast, and the experience is much closer to trading actual equities than the first generation of tokenized stocks the dividend handling and 1:1 backing structure are also steps in the right direction. if tokenized equities are going to be taken seriously, they need to mirror the underlying assets as closely as possible what i found most interesting wasn’t the stocks themselves. it’s the capital efficiency traditionally, if i want stock exposure, i use a brokerage. if i want crypto exposure, i use an exchange. capital gets fragmented across multiple platforms it’s interesting that they’re trying to merge those worlds into a single environment, and that’s probably the most compelling part of the product → now for the part that still needs work. • i want more transparency around liquidity during volatile conditions it’s easy for any platform to look good when markets are calm i want to see how it performs during: * earnings releases * fomc meetings * cpi days * major market gaps that’s where execution quality gets tested • i’d also love to see a much broader stock and etf selection over time that was one of my initial concerns, although, i just heard bitget is planning to expand to roughly 500 tokenized stocks and etfs within the next week if that rollout happens as expected, it’ll address a pretty big part of the accessibility issue • and then there’s the regulatory side tokenized stocks have enormous potential, but long-term adoption will depend on how comfortable investors become with the underlying structure, custody model, and redemption process overall? i think stock 2.0 is one of the more practical implementations of tokenized equities i’ve seen so far not because it offers stocks on-chain because it’s trying to make those stocks usable inside a larger trading ecosystem it’s still early with plenty to prove but definitely one of the more interesting developments i’ve seen at the intersection of tradfi and crypto this year.

Spot trading fees are shrinking. Competition is brutal. So @GracyBitget is betting on stablecoins - $300B market, Genius Act done, Hong Kong bill passed "Blockchain is just a faster way to settle cross-border" - the boring use case that actually wins... Podcast out tomorrow @bitget

I got into crypto 11 years ago as an innocent liberal New Yorker who never gave a thought to what the USD was or how its value was determined, and now I’m a Bitcoiner, carnivore, and the kind of person who needs to know how Kevin Warsh is going to affect the USD, gold and bitcoin

Gracy Chen admits her "Altcoins are dead" tweet was a bit extreme. But she stands by it. The Bitget CEO says the entire listing landscape has shifted and pure crypto stories don't work.

what a painful phase to be in crypto rn. i mean, - Russell 2000 Index is hitting new highs - Gold and Silver are rallying - US has cancelled Greenland linked tariffs - US Inflation Index is dropping - FED balance sheet is ticking up again - BOJ is indicating intervention to bring down yields - Trump is hinting towards tariffs dividend again and again - Crypto market structure bill is moving forward on paper, this should be perfect conditions. yet crypto keeps underperforming. and the reason isn’t hard to see. imo October 10 did real damage. liquidations, complete wipeouts of portfolio of many and broke the confidence. and most retail didn’t rotate within crypto. they either exited completely or limited exposure to BTC and ETH. capital moved to stocks and precious metals because those assets still have a clear NGU story. on top of that: - memecoin rugs destroyed trust - holding culture is gone - there’s nothing genuinely exciting pulling new money in because of all this, there’s no strong bid. just weak participation. the only real path forward i see is this: at some point, gold and silver will top. when that happens, capital will look for the next undervalued asset class. and structurally, crypto is still sitting there cheap, hated, and ignored. hope it comes sooooner

sharing my very recent CNBC interview (07:35 I talk about "What does the NYSE decision mean for tradfi and crypto markets?" "Why now?" and then around Davos and global crypto stances) cnbc.com/video/2026/01/21/pr… Just watched it back and realized I finished this interview at 2 AM my time... hope my mumbling translated to 'strategic visionary' and not 'in dire need of a pillow.' 😴

"I used to think games were just for fun. Now I know they can solve real problems." A young creator in Cambodia told me this 2 weeks ago. Still thinking about it. We spent 2 days with girls learning to code, build games, and tell stories through @UNICEF's Game Changers Coalition. Not as a hobby. As a path to reshape their futures in tech. The energy in that room? Different. These kids aren't waiting for permission. They're building. @bitget's backing this because the next generation of builders is already here. They just need the tools and the opportunity. Shoutout to @UNICEFinnovate, Dr. Kim Sethany, Cambodia Ministry of Education, and Yannick, Yemi, Mariam for making it real. What's one skill you wish you learned earlier that changed how you see the world?

Markets are shifting fast, and user behavior tells the real story. Money doesn’t move without reason, it follows trust. Bitget’s been catching real attention lately. Fresh data from @DefiLlama shows it’s now ranked #2 in global exchange inflows a clear sign of user confidence and solid liquidity. It’s less about hype, more about consistent growth. When the numbers speak, you just listen. defillama.com/cexs
