[Gate Launches Real Stock Trading Service, Connecting Crypto Accounts to Global Capital Markets] Odaily Planet Daily News – According to an official announcement, the globally leading digital asset platform Gate has officially launched a real stock market trading service, creating a bridge between crypto assets and traditional financial markets. Users can now directly use USDT on the Gate platform to trade stocks and ETFs from major exchanges such as Nasdaq and NYSE. Unlike the commonly seen stock tokenization and RWA mapping models in the current market, Gate Stocks emphasizes real market access and compliant trading capabilities. It connects with regulated brokers holding U.S. Broker-Dealer licenses and clearing qualifications, providing access to mainstream U.S. stock and ETF trading markets. Currently, Gate supports major U.S. securities trading markets and liquidity networks, including NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS, covering over 10,000 stocks and ETF assets. After completing KYC and regional access requirements, users can transfer USDT, view market data, and trade stocks through the TradFi section in the Gate App, achieving unified integration of crypto asset accounts and traditional stock trading capabilities. Additionally, Gate Stocks adopts an independent account system, allowing users to buy, hold, and sell stock assets with funds managed separately. Compared to funding rates in perpetual contracts and swap/overnight fees in CFD products, Gate Stocks spot trading achieves zero holding costs, making it more suitable for users looking to allocate U.S. stock assets for the long term. Android users can experience the stock trading feature by updating the Gate App to the latest version, while iOS users can access the service after updating to version 8.21.5.
