Bitget’s Reality Expands Tokenized Equity Infrastructure With Licensed Broker Alpaca

Victoria, Seychelles, June 1, 2026 — Reality, the regulated real-world asset issuance platform, has partnered with Alpaca, a registered US broker-dealer and self-clearing firm, to provide the brokerage infrastructure layer supporting tokenized equities and ETF access through regulated market rails.

Reality is designed to expand global access to real-world assets by connecting blockchain-based market infrastructure with traditional financial markets. Working with licensed brokers across major exchanges including Nasdaq and NYSE, Reality purchases underlying assets, safeguards them with independent custodians, and issues the corresponding economic exposure onchain.

Through the integration, Alpaca provides the self-clearing brokerage infrastructure supporting access to US equities and ETFs within a regulated market framework. Alpaca has emerged as a major infrastructure provider for tokenized equity products, supporting platforms building blockchain-based access to traditional financial assets. Through Reality, this infrastructure will support broader access to tokenized equities for eligible global users.

The integration reflects growing momentum around tokenized financial infrastructure as traditional assets increasingly move toward more programmable and globally accessible environments. Reality forms part of Bitget’s broader Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy, where crypto assets, tokenized products, and traditional markets operate within a unified ecosystem. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen has previously projected that roughly 10% of global financial assets could exist in tokenized form by 2030 as market infrastructure continues evolving.

“Over time, more financial assets will move into tokenized environments because users increasingly expect markets to be faster, more accessible, and available globally,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Reality is part of building toward that future by connecting traditional financial assets with blockchain-based market infrastructure in a more practical way.”

Founded in 2015, Alpaca is a developer-first brokerage infrastructure company offering APIs for equities, ETFs, and digital asset trading. Alpaca Clearing, the regulated broker-dealer entity behind the infrastructure, is a SIPC member and FINRA-registered broker-dealer supporting custody and clearing operations for underlying assets.

“Providing global access to financial services accelerates by bringing the world’s largest financial market onchain,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO at Alpaca. “We’re excited to partner with Reality and support the broader vision behind tokenized equities as demand for flexible market access and transparent infrastructure continues growing.”

The integration reflects broader momentum around tokenized financial products as trading activity increasingly expands beyond traditional market hours and geographic limitations. Within Bitget’s broader UEX ecosystem, Reality continues expanding the infrastructure supporting tokenized TradFi products and global multi-asset market access.
