Bitget Upgrades Stock Dual Investment with VETA Finance for Tokenized U.S. Equities
Stock Dual Investment lets users earn yield on USDT or eligible tokenized U.S. Equities over a fixed investment period, with settlement determined by a predefined target price and the assets's market performance at maturity. Current underlying assets include rNVDA, rGOOGL and rAMD, providing exposure to tokenized equities linked to NVIDIA, Alphabet, and AMD.
Buy Low allows users to subscribe with USDT and pick a target price for an eligible rToken. If the settlement price at maturity is at or below the target price, the investment is converted into the corresponding rToken at the predetermined price. Otherwise, users receive their principal and accrued yield in USDT. This strategy is designed for users looking to accumulate tokenized equities at a chosen price while earning yield during the investment period.
Sell High allows users to subscribe with an eligible rToken and pick a target price to sell. If the settlement price at maturity is at or above the target price, the investment is converted into USDT at a predetermined price. Otherwise, users retain their rToken principal and receive the applicable yield. This strategy is designed for holders waiting to sell at a selected price while earning yield on their existing positions.
"Investors often have a price in mind at which they would buy more or take profits. Stock Dual Investment, lets them earn yield while working toward those targets.That is our UEX vision of bringing crypto and traditional assets together with more ways to put them to work," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
This product is offered in partnership with VETA Finance, a structured-product infrastructure provider focused on digital assets and tokenized markets. Since 2022, VETA Finance has provided end-to-end solutions for trading platforms, asset managers, and wealth-management providers, spanning product structuring, pricing, hedging, execution, and settlement.
Daniel Yu, Founder of VETA Finance, said: "Tokenization solved how equities get on-chain. Structured products solve how those assets are retained and how they generate yield. We are delighted to join Bitget's rToken ecosystem as a first-batch quoting vendor and bring the pricing, hedging and lifecycle management capabilities we have built in crypto structured products to tokenized US stocks in full. Dual Investment is only the first step. Together with Bitget, we intend to turn every tokenized US stock into a complete product line."
By extending Dual Investment to tokenized U.S equities, Bitget is bringing structured investment strategies traditionally associated with financial markets into its unified digital ecosystem. Users can deploy stablecoins or eligible rTokens through a single platform, creating additional opportunities to manage their exposure to tokenized equities without navigating separate trading environments. The launch further advances Bitget's Universal Exchange vision by expanding how users can access and utilize both crypto and tokenized traditional financial assets.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- Nearly 100 preliminary artificial intelligence (AI) cooperation agreements worth around two billion Chinese yuan were reached in Nanning during the recently concluded 23rd China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO), including more than one billion Chinese yuan in planned cooperation with ASEAN countries.The expo’s new AI marketplace featured more than 70 companies displaying over 500 products, from large AI models and AI chips to AI glasses and intelligent robots, generating transactions worth over 28 million Chinese yuan (around US$3.9 million). (US$1 = RM4.08).
Nanning, the capital of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and permanent host of CAEXPO, is home to 1,552 AI-related companies, accounting for 57.3 per cent of Guangxi’s total, according to a statement.
ArcherMind Technology has set up its ASEAN headquarters in the city, with its robots used in schools in ASEAN countries including Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, while iFLYTEK has signed a strategic agreement with Nanning to develop AI applications for ASEAN markets in education, healthcare and urban governance.
In the first eight months of 2026, Nanning’s foreign trade rose 2.4 per cent year-on-year to 65.171 billion Chinese yuan. Trade with ASEAN reached 18.246 billion Chinese yuan, or 28 per cent of the total, while trade with Vietnam grew 18.6 per cent.
The Pinglu Canal, which opened on Sept 16, allows vessels of up to 5,000 tonnes to sail directly from Nanning to the Beibu Gulf. For cargo from southwest China, it shortens the inland waterway route to the sea by more than 560 kilometres compared with the route via Guangzhou Port.
Nanning is planning industrial development along the canal, including port upgrades at Liujing and a dedicated railway line to improve rail-water transport, while non-ferrous metals, green chemicals and equipment manufacturing industries are increasingly clustering along the route.

ENERGY ASIA AWARDS RETURNS FOR SECOND EDITION
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS has opened submissions for the second edition of the Energy Asia Awards, recognising initiatives in advancing stronger energy systems and creating lasting benefits for communities across the region.
Building on the conference theme “Reshaping Resilient Energy Systems”, the awards spotlight practical responses to the challenges shaping Asia’s energy future.
As the region navigates geopolitical tensions, rising demand and climate imperatives, resilience will depend on more than securing energy supply. It will require approaches that balance reliability, affordability and sustainability, while ensuring that the benefits of the energy transition are shared widely with no community left behind.
Ir. Norafizal Mat Saad, Vice President, Group Strategic Relations and Communications, PETRONAS said, “The challenge is not whether solutions exist, but how quickly they can be scaled. Organisations and communities are already demonstrating what effective action looks like. The Energy Asia Awards help bring greater visibility to these efforts, not only to recognise achievement, but also to inspire others and encourage broader adoption of approaches that can create lasting impact.”
The Awards are presented across two categories:
Eureka Award recognises projects, technologies and solutions that strengthen energy systems through innovation and practical deployment.
Trailblazer Award honours initiatives that expand access to energy, improve energy equity and create meaningful benefits for communities.
Submissions are now open and will close on 1 March 2027, with winners announced at Energy Asia, taking place from 2 to 4 June in Kuala Lumpur.
About Energy Asia
Energy Asia by PETRONAS is a biennial forum for dialogue on the forces transforming Asia's energy landscape. As the centre of demand growth and investment, the region will play a defining role in the global energy system, making the choices made here critical to economic progress and long-term resilience.
