Bitget Launches Reality Aligned with CEO’s 10% Tokenization Vision

VICTORIA, Seychelles, - Monday, 01. June 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange, announced the launch of Reality, a licensed financial platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), connecting eligible global users with tokenized exposure to traditional financial assets through crypto-native ecosystems.

Reality will bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs into Bitget’s broader trading ecosystem, giving users access to market exposure traditionally limited by geography, market hours, fragmented platforms, and settlement barriers. The launch marks a key step in Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) roadmap, which aims to combine crypto, on-chain markets, and traditional asset access within one platform experience.

Reality is the issuing platform of rTokens, the onchain representations of publicly traded equities and ETFs. Each rToken is 1:1 backed by real shares held with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected U.S. Broker-dealer. Reality enforces the industry’s highest transparency standards, with independent third-party auditors delivering a live Proof of Asset dashboard and CPA-level audit reports to ensure verifiable asset integrity at all times.

By bridging directly into U.S. equity pools, the protocol supports deep liquidity, institutional-scale entries and exits with optimized slippage, matching traditional order-book efficiency. Corporate actions, including dividends, cash distributions, and stock splits, are matched via a 1:1 deterministic mapping engine. On the ecosystem front, Reality RWAs will be natively integrated into the Bitget exchange. Key use cases include: utilizing tokenized equities as unified account margin to maximize capital efficiency; full compatibility with algorithmic Grid and Copy Trading systems; and deployment across Bitget's native Staking and Lending products.

Reality will operate as Bitget’s dedicated real-world asset provider, serving as the specialized arm for the tokenization of traditional financial instruments. Reality functions as the primary layer where traditional market value is standardized for the crypto economy. This alignment ensures that Bitget users have exclusive, seamless access to a secure and regulated environment for RWA trading.

“Reality is built around Bitget’s 10% vision: by 2030, nearly 10% of financial assets could exist in tokenized form,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “Stablecoins, faster blockchain settlement, and growing interest from major exchanges are pushing RWAs from experiment to market infrastructure. Reality is Bitget’s step toward making that future accessible to global users.”

Reality is aligned with Gracy Chen’s “10% vision” for the RWA industry, which projects that tokenization is still in its early stages. Money market funds and private credit account for only around 0.5–1% of their total markets, while tokenized equities represent just 0.1% of the $125 trillion global equity market. By 2030, Gracy’s vision is that nearly 10% of all financial assets could exist in tokenized form.

The launch comes as tokenized equities gain momentum across global markets. Investors are increasingly looking for products that combine familiar assets with faster settlement, broader access, and around-the-clock availability. Reality is designed to meet this demand by bringing traditional asset exposure into Bitget’s UEX framework, alongside crypto trading, on-chain tools, AI products, and existing tokenized asset offerings.

Reality will initially focus on tokenized exposure to selected US stocks and ETFs, with further asset expansion planned after launch. Product access, supported assets, trading features, and user eligibility will be subject to applicable laws, regional restrictions, and final launch terms.

The rollout also strengthens Bitget’s position in the RWA sector, following its broader push into tokenized stocks, gold, FX, commodities, and other traditional market-linked products. With Reality, Bitget is extending its UEX strategy beyond crypto trading into a wider financial access layer for global users.

Bitget Tackles Trading Burnout in New UEX Video Series

VICTORIA, Seychelles, - Monday, 01. June 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched “UEX Traders’ Secret,” a three-part video series that takes a humorous take on the realities of modern trading, from market stress and platform fatigue to the demands of round-the-clock participation. Released across Bitget’s official social channels, the campaign uses relatable situations and self-aware humor to highlight how AI, automation, and unified trading environments are reshaping the trader experience.

The campaign arrives as trading behavior becomes increasingly multi-asset and always-on. Traders today often move between crypto, equities, commodities, and macro events simultaneously while managing multiple platforms, strategies and information flows. As markets become more interconnected, demand is growing for tools that simplify trading experiences and reduce friction across asset classes, a direction that sits at the center of Bitget’s Universal Exchange vision.

The first episode, “Stop Hair Loss — Let AI Hunt Alpha For You,” focuses on one of trading’s unofficial side effects: stress. The episode introduces Bitget’s AI ecosystem, including GetAgent, GetClaw, and Agent Hub, showing how traders can rely on AI-powered tools to monitor markets and surface opportunities continuously.

The second episode, “Multi-Platform Trading Is Aging You — One Platform Smooths It All Away,” shifts attention to the challenge of navigating fragmented trading environments. Through a skincare-inspired storyline, the episode highlights Bitget UEX, where crypto, stocks, and commodities are brought together into a single trading environment.

The final episode, “Shed the Stress Weight — Let Bots Trade While You Sleep,” explores the demands of always-on markets and the growing role of automation. The episode features Bitget’s trading bots and copy trading ecosystem across spot, derivatives, CFDs, equities, and precious metals.

“Trading in today’s day and age means tracking more markets, more assets and more information than ever before,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “UEX was built around simplifying that experience through AI and bringing markets together, and the campaign reflects that reality in a lighter way.”

The series forms part of Bitget’s broader Universal Exchange initiative, which combines AI-powered tools, automation, and multi-asset access across crypto, equities, commodities, and tokenized markets within one ecosystem.

The “UEX Traders’ Secret” series is now available across Bitget’s official social media channels.

NIQ Launches Product Intelligence to Power AI-Driven Commerce

CHICAGO -

New solution structures and enriches fragmented product data to help brands and retailers fuel AI discovery, recommendations, and agentic commerce

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ) today announced the launch of NIQ Product Intelligence, a new solution designed to help retailers and brands transform fragmented product data into structured, interoperable intelligence that fuels AI-driven commerce.

As AI increasingly shapes how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products, the quality and completeness of product data have become a defining competitive advantage. In AI-mediated commerce environments, products that lack structured, enriched, and machine-readable data risk becoming invisible to recommendation engines, AI assistants, and autonomous purchasing agents.

NIQ Product Intelligence addresses this challenge by creating a unified product intelligence layer that standardizes attributes, resolves product identity across systems, and enriches product data at scale, enabling AI systems to better understand, match, recommend, and surface products across digital and physical commerce channels.

For example, a traditional keyword search may only surface products containing exact terms like “protein snack” or “low-alcohol drinks.” AI-driven commerce experiences require a much deeper understanding of consumer intent and context, helping consumers discover products through nuanced requests such as “a healthy chocolate brownie alternative that still feels indulgent,” “a premium low-alcohol drink for a dinner party,” or “a gluten-free movie snack for family night.” Product Intelligence helps structure and enrich product data so AI systems can better interpret consumer needs, understand product attributes and context, and surface the most relevant recommendations.

Built on NIQ’s existing global commerce data assets and harmonization expertise, Product Intelligence helps brands and retailers:

Build a unified and interoperable product intelligence layer

Standardize and enrich product attributes at scale

Improve product matching, discoverability, and cross-system consistency

Enable products to become recommendation-ready across emerging AI commerce environments

“AI systems can only reason over products they can properly understand,” said Troy Treangen, Chief Product Officer, NIQ. “Product Intelligence creates a structured, interoperable product layer that resolves fragmented data, enriches attributes, and enables AI systems to identify, compare, and recommend products with far greater accuracy.”

NIQ Product Intelligence is built on NIQ’s global commerce intelligence infrastructure, including relationships with more than 8,900 retailers across 90 countries, a product catalog spanning more than 246 million unique items, and over 10 billion maintained product attributes. The solution also leverages NIQ’s decades of expertise in harmonizing and enriching complex commerce data across retailers, brands, and digital platforms.

The launch of Product Intelligence represents the first major offering within NIQ’s broader Commerce Intelligence portfolio, combining NIQ’s existing data assets, product content capabilities, and harmonization expertise into solutions that help customers build for the next era of AI-driven and agentic commerce today. NIQ will showcase Product Intelligence and its role in enabling agentic commerce at NIQ’s annual C360 event, taking place June 8-11 in San Antonio, Texas. To learn more and register for the event, visit the NIQ C360 event page.

FAQs

What is NIQ Product Intelligence?

NIQ Product Intelligence is a solution that transforms fragmented product data into a unified, AI-ready product layer by standardizing attributes, resolving product identity, and connecting data across systems.

What problem does NIQ Product Intelligence solve?

NIQ Product Intelligence helps brands and retailers address fragmented product data, inconsistent attributes, disconnected systems, and limited transparency into how products are categorized, tagged, and discovered across AI-driven commerce environments. The solution enables organizations to better manage and augment product attributes as consumer behaviors and recommendation systems evolve.

How does it support AI and agentic commerce?

NIQ Product Intelligence provides an AI-ready data foundation that improves how products are matched, surfaced, and recommended across retail media, ecommerce, and AI-driven discovery.

When will NIQ Product Intelligence be available?

NIQ Product Intelligence is now available in the United States, with expansion plans to be evaluated over time.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Open Group, the vendor-neutral technology and standards organization, today announced the release of the Open Footprint® Standard, Edition 1.0, that will help organizations streamline scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reporting.

The new standard is the first open emissions data model to address all three scopes, providing a comprehensive framework that enables organizations to collect and standardize data from their value chain and report across multiple jurisdictions.

Key features of the model include:

Standardized emissions data definitions and relationships

"Large enterprises today are focused on deriving value from their carbon data and applying AI using modern and integrated data architectures," said Sammy Lakshmanan, Co-chair, Open Footprint Forum.

The Open Footprint Standard is split across two parts, with part 1 providing data model general requirements, and part 2 delivering the data element dictionary. The Open Footprint Forum is also making available a set of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) schema files which can help organizations create database instances using the Open Footprint Data Model structure more easily.

Perpetuals Reports $4.5 Billion in UpsideOnly Volume and Signs Exchange Agreement With Datavault AI for Tokenized Commodities

SAN FRANCISCO - Tuesday, 02. June 2026

UpsideOnly draws more than 30,000 active users from 185 countries in its first two weeks

Perpetuals signs exchange agreement with Datavault AI, bringing tokenized gold, copper, geothermal energy, and critical minerals to 24/7 regulated global trading

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perpetuals.com Ltd (Nasdaq: PDC) today reported strong early results for its breakout UpsideOnly trading and market prediction platform and announced an agreement with Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT) to list tokenized real-world commodity assets on the Perpetuals platform.

In its first two weeks, traders flocked to the UpsideOnly platform, attracting more than 30,000 active users, generating $4.5 billion in cumulative platform volume across 186,000 fills and 25 instruments. Reflecting the widespread demand for a risk-free product, users came from 185 different countries. Surprisingly, gold was the top instrument with $1.4 billion in volume, outpacing bitcoin at $1.2 billion with precious metals accounting for roughly 35 percent of total platform activity.

UpsideOnly is the first trading and market prediction platform where users can't lose. Traders make predictions across global markets and share in profits when those predictions are validated by Perpetuals's proprietary AI, without ever putting up their own money.

Perpetuals also confirmed the company has signed a Mutual Services Agreement with Datavault AI, a real-world asset tokenization company, to list its commodity token programs on the Perpetuals exchange platform, targeting trading on PM MTF Ltd., the EU-licensed Multilateral Trading Facility operated on Perpetuals’s technology. The agreement initially covers the MTB Copper project, with provisions for expansion to additional programs spanning from gold, copper, geothermal energy, U.S. critical minerals, and European iron-nickel resources. These programs carry a combined targeted issuance of more than $328 million.

“The past two weeks have made clear that Perpetuals is building something that fills a major need in the market. UpsideOnly adoption has exceeded everything we projected, and now closing this Datavault AI agreement demonstrates our velocity,” said Matthew Nicoletti, Chief Strategy Officer and Director of Perpetuals. “We are moving fast and the momentum is real.”

“Perpetuals has built the regulated infrastructure that physical commodity tokenization needs and has been missing,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “Partnering with a platform that has already demonstrated this kind of user growth puts our token programs in front of what we believe may be the largest possible audience at exactly the right moment for Datavault AI.”
