Reality Partners With Merkl To Bring Stablecoin Dividends To Bitget rToken Holders In DeFi

Reality, the tokenization platform behind Bitget’s rToken ecosystem, has partnered with Merkl to let eligible rToken holders keep earning stock or ETF dividends while deploying their tokenized assets in DeFi. The integration targets the ownership-tracking gap that can cause investors to forfeit dividends once assets are used in on-chain protocols, with payouts delivered in stablecoins. The move matters because it removes a longstanding trade-off between DeFi yield and traditional dividend income for tokenized-equity holders. Terms, supported chains and the list of eligible rTokens were not specified. Next, watch for the first dividend distribution cycle and whether other tokenized-asset issuers adopt similar dividend-routing infrastructure.
