Bitget and digital asset research firm Block Scholes have released a joint report on how traders used 24/7 <a href="https://yellow.com/news/tokenized-real-world-assets-are-dollar8-billion-industry-now-a-green-revolution-in-finance" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tokenized real-world assets</a> to hedge macro shocks through a turbulent first quarter.
<h2 id="regional-trading-split">Regional Trading Split</h2>
The study, titled "Tokenised Markets on Bitget UEX," <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tracks</a> the blurring line between crypto and traditional finance during Q1 2026.
It credits Bitget's Universal Exchange with letting users rotate between crypto, tokenized equities, FX and commodities without leaving a single venue.
<blockquote>
 Southeast Asia leads active trader distribution at 26.2%, followed by South Asia at 20.5% and the Middle East and Africa at 18.4%.
</blockquote>
The CIS region sits at 6.9%, Latin America at 5.2% and the UK at 4.9%.
Real-world asset flow is far more concentrated. Southeast Asia accounts for 81.9% of total RWA volume on the platform, the <a href="https://beincrypto.com/bitget-uex-tokenized-stocks-block-scholes-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> found.

The geographic skew matters, because price discovery in tokenized stocks now concentrates during Asian hours.
Traders outside that window may trail the early move.
Meanwhile, the dollar drew safe haven bids as Middle East tensions persisted, while US equities briefly stalled near 7,000 points.
Bitget TradFi launched in early 2026 and hit $2 billion in daily volume within three days. That doubled to $4 billion by Jan. 21, then topped $6 billion on Mar. 20 as gold logged its worst week since 1983.
