Gate officially launches real stock trading, allowing users to directly trade US mainstream securities market stocks and ETFs using USDT on the platform. With the official launch of real stock trading services, Gate is further breaking the boundaries between cryptocurrency assets and traditional financial markets, accelerating the construction of a unified trading and asset allocation system covering cryptocurrency assets, stocks, and global mainstream financial products.
Unlike the stock tokenization and RWA mapping models widely discussed in the current market, the stock services launched by Gate this time emphasize the real market access capability and compliant trading system. Gate stocks connect directly to the US mainstream securities market through compliant brokers holding US Broker-Dealer licenses and clearing qualifications, providing users with real stock and ETF trading services, rather than on-chain mapped assets or tokenized derivatives. It is worth noting that the brokerage partners of Gate stocks are members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) in the United States, providing corresponding protection for clients' securities assets under relevant conditions, further enhancing the security of account assets and the investor protection system.
In terms of the coverage of trading targets, compared to most tokenized stock platforms that typically support only hundreds of assets, Gate currently supports over 10,000 stocks and ETF assets, covering major US securities trading markets and liquidity networks such as the NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS, providing users with richer and more comprehensive global securities asset allocation options. Currently, Gate stocks support intraday trading, and in the future will gradually expand to 24/7 trading, bringing a more flexible and efficient trading experience to global users.
Relying on a unified cryptocurrency asset account system, Gate further integrates digital asset trading and stock investment scenarios. Users can directly use USDT to participate in stock and ETF trading, achieving a more convenient connection between cryptocurrency assets and the US securities market. For users who have long used stablecoins for asset management, this also means that the application scenarios of USDT are extending from digital asset trading to the global stock asset allocation field.
On the user experience level, Gate seamlessly integrates the stock trading function into the existing App system. Currently, Android users can experience the stock trading function by updating the Gate App to the latest version, and iOS users can use the related services after updating to version 8.21.5. Once users complete the platform KYC certification and meet the entry requirements of their region, they can enter the stock area in the TradFi section of the Gate App to view market information and participate in stock trading after completing stablecoin transfers through the trading page or asset page. Users do not need to perform additional complex operations to participate more conveniently in global stock market investments, achieving efficient allocation between cryptocurrency assets and traditional financial markets.
In terms of product structure, Gate stocks and traditional CFD (Contract for Difference) systems are independent of each other. Users complete the purchase, holding, and sale of stock assets through their Gate accounts, with funds managed separately. Unlike the funding rates in perpetual contracts and the holding costs such as swap fees and overnight fees in CFD products, Gate stock spot trading does not involve funding rates or overnight holding fees, making it more suitable for users aiming for long-term allocations of US stock assets.
Currently, the product only supports intraday market price buying and selling, and functions such as margin trading will be gradually opened in the future. Meanwhile, Gate will also support one-click transfer of stock assets between brokers in the future, further enhancing asset circulation efficiency and cross-platform management experience. In addition, users can view and manage positions, profits and losses, fund flows, and corporate actions (such as cash dividends, stock splits, mergers, etc.) information uniformly within their accounts, and related earnings will be automatically credited to users' accounts according to platform rules.
From the perspective of industry development trends, cryptocurrency platforms are gradually evolving from a single digital asset trading venue to a comprehensive trading infrastructure connecting global capital markets. The launch of stock trading services by Gate not only further expands the platform's service boundaries and product capabilities in the traditional financial market, but also marks its acceleration in building a unified trading and multi-asset allocation system covering cryptocurrency assets, stocks, and more global financial products. In the future, Gate will continue to promote more market access, global liquidity connections, and cross-market trading capacity building, reinforcing its long-term positioning as a global asset trading and market access platform.
