Bitget has joined the Global Markets Alliance by Ondo Finance — a coalition of financial innovators working to set standards for tokenized securities and improve interoperability. This move aims to make it easier for Nigerian investors and SMEs to access tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) like stocks, ETFs, and other investment products.
Through Bitget Onchain, Nigerian users can now invest in tokenized shares of leading U.S. companies such as Apple, Tesla, and Amazon, without dealing with foreign exchange restrictions or traditional brokerage requirements. Over time, the platform will offer more than 100 tokenized U.S. equities, ETFs, and money market funds, opening up new opportunities for SMEs to diversify beyond cryptocurrency.

According to Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, this development gives Nigerian investors "global access with local advantages" — including 24/7 trading, fractional share purchases, lower transaction costs, and full transparency via blockchain. This makes it easier for entrepreneurs and small businesses to invest surplus funds or diversify their portfolios in global markets.
The integration of xStocks and Ondo also aligns with Nigeria's evolving crypto regulations, ensuring compliance while providing innovative financial solutions. SMEs can now gain exposure to global markets in a way that is cost-efficient, borderless, and tailored to local realities.
Next steps for SMEs:
- Create or log into a Bitget account.
- Complete KYC verification.
- Visit Bitget Onchain to explore tokenized equities and Ondo-backed assets for portfolio diversification.
This tokenization approach is positioning Nigerian SMEs to tap into Wall Street-level investment opportunities with the convenience and flexibility of crypto-native tools.
