New Bitget Stablecoin BGUSD Generates Yield from Tokenized Assets
The product, announced on May 27, 2025, is redeemable for USDC at a 1:1 ratio and can be purchased using USDC or tether ( USDT). Daily yields, calculated based on users’ minimum daily balances, are credited directly to spot accounts. A promotional 5% annual percentage yield ( APY) will apply for the first 30 days, according to the announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News.
BGUSD’s returns derive from a diversified portfolio of tokenized assets, such as high-grade money market funds and U.S. Treasury products. Bitget collaborates with institutional partners like Superstate, which manages the USTB tokenized treasury fund, and regulated financial institutions to ensure compliance and risk mitigation.
The asset integrates with Bitget’s trading and wealth management systems, functioning as collateral for loans, futures margins, and staking services like Launchpool and PoolX. These features aim to reduce exposure to crypto volatility while providing stable returns, the exchange stated on Tuesday.
Users can redeem BGUSD instantly via Bitget’s reserve pool or through standard redemptions settled within three business days. All transactions incur a fixed 0.1% fee, designed to maintain liquidity and affordability.
“With BGUSD, we are delivering a solution that bridges the best of both worlds: the transparency and innovation of crypto with the stability and yield opportunities traditionally found in real-world assets,” said Bitget CEO Gracy Chen. The launch reflects Bitget’s strategy to expand real-world asset ( RWA) offerings, with plans to introduce more products bridging conventional finance and decentralized ecosystems.
