Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 platform, has officially launched BGUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin aimed at enhancing capital efficiency and integrating real-world asset (RWA) exposure into its ecosystem.
Designed as a stable asset certificate, BGUSD marks a significant strategic move by Bitget to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Fully incorporated into Bitget’s trading and wealth management infrastructure, BGUSD is positioned to offer passive income opportunities for retail and institutional users alike.
Backed by a diversified portfolio of tokenized real-world assets, the stablecoin stands out by combining on-chain flexibility with off-chain financial stability.
Yield-Bearing Design Offers Competitive Returns and Flexibility
BGUSD is redeemable at a 1:1 ratio for USDC and can be subscribed using either USDC or USDT, making it easily accessible to the broader crypto market.
One of its key advantages is the built-in annualized yield of 4%, credited daily based on users’ minimum daily holdings in their spot accounts.
To attract early adopters, Bitget is offering a promotional annual percentage yield (APY) of 5% for the first 30 days after launch.
The passive yield structure aims to provide users with a predictable income stream while maintaining the benefits of stablecoin liquidity.
The yield is derived from a basket of high-quality tokenized real-world assets, including U.S. Treasury products and money market funds, managed through trusted tokenization providers like Superstate via their USTB fund.

Secure, Transparent, and Liquid Structure Backed by Institutional Standards
The infrastructure supporting BGUSD reflects Bitget’s commitment to transparency and institutional-grade financial products.
The asset’s underlying returns are generated from a well-diversified portfolio and governed by a risk-managed allocation model.
Bitget has partnered with multiple leading financial and tokenization firms to ensure the security and stability of the yield-generating instruments backing BGUSD.
Users are offered two redemption options: instant withdrawals funded through Bitget’s reserve pool, or standard redemptions settled within three business days.
A fixed fee of 0.1% applies to both subscriptions and redemptions. This structure not only reduces exposure to crypto market volatility but also ensures full liquidity and confidence in the stablecoin’s value proposition.

BGUSD Strengthens Bitget’s Ecosystem With Full-Scenario Utility
Beyond being a store of value, BGUSD is designed for active use across the entire Bitget ecosystem.
It is fully compatible with various platform functionalities, including futures margin trading, lending collateral, Launchpool participation, and PoolX.
The wide utility promotes greater capital deployment within the platform while supporting Bitget’s broader strategic goal of offering stable, risk-adjusted returns.
CEO Gracy Chen emphasized the importance of blending traditional financial mechanisms with the transparency and speed of crypto: “With BGUSD, we are delivering a solution that bridges the best of both worlds.”
By enabling self-managed allocation and mitigating risk through diversification, BGUSD positions itself as a next-generation stable asset, setting a new standard in yield-focused digital finance.
