Bitrue expanded its futures offering by adding 40 tokenized real-world assets —known as RWAs— to its platform TradFi Arena. The new instruments include U.S. equities, stock indices and commodities, all settled in USDT, available to trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with leverage of up to 100x.
Among the initial assets are high-profile pairs such as NVDA (NVIDIA Corp.), TSLA (Tesla Inc.) and AMZN (Amazon Inc.), along with the NAS100 —an index of the 100 largest NASDAQ companies— and the XAU and XAG tokens, which provide exposure to gold and silver respectively. The exchange noted that users residing outside the United States can also access these instruments with leverage ranging from 50x to 100x.
Bitrue Enters the RWA Market at Its Peak Momentum
The launch aims to capitalize on the strong expansion of the RWA market. According to data from RWA.xyz, the market for tokenized real-world assets already exceeds $27.49 billion in value distributed globally, with more than 700,000 registered users. Adam O’Neill, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitrue, noted that “demand for RWAs remains a key growth driver for the industry in 2026, as retail investors increasingly seek to diversify their portfolios beyond cryptocurrencies.”
The integration with the platform’s futures feature eliminates the need to rely on traditional brokerage accounts and the costs involved, allowing users to access these markets directly from their USDT balance.
A 100,000 USDT Contest
As part of the same launch, Bitrue introduced collateralized loans backed by gold and silver tokens, a mechanism that allows users to unlock liquidity from their precious metals holdings without giving up exposure to the underlying asset. The USDT obtained can be used to trade futures or other positions within the platform.
To drive adoption, the exchange launched a two-week trading contest —from April 2 to 16— with a prize pool of 100,000 USDT. The event includes a 20 USDT bonus for new users who trade U.S. equities, zero-commission trading for those exceeding a daily volume of 10,000 USDT, and a five-tier leaderboard for traders with the highest accumulated volume. Bitrue clarified that tokenized assets do not constitute registered securities and confer no ownership rights, dividends or equity participation, and that the offering is not available to residents of the United States or the United Kingdom.
