Study Finds Tokenized Stocks Cut Crypto Trading Capital Needs By Half
Image: BeInCryptoCrypto exchange Bitget and digital asset research firm Block Scholes published a joint report on October 7, 2026, examining tokenized stocks as collateral for crypto trades. A modeled $1 million multi-asset portfolio saw required capital fall from $340,000 to $175,000 when using eligible tokenized stocks as security. The study also found Bitcoin's 60-day correlation with the Nasdaq-100 averaged +0.41 since January 2022, peaking at +0.75. Stress tests showed the portfolio would reach liquidation after a 21% correlated market decline when backed by tokenized equity collateral.
Key points
- Bitget's cross-asset account accepts over 370 eligible assets, including 125 tokenized U.S. stocks, as collateral.
- Bitcoin's 60-day correlation with the Nasdaq-100 averaged +0.41 since January 2022, peaking at +0.75.
Why it matters
The findings show tokenized stocks can reduce capital requirements for multi-asset crypto traders, while highlighting that correlated market moves can increase liquidation risk when using these assets as collateral.
