The wall between the cryptocurrency market and the US stock market has finally been completely dismantled!
On one hand, there are ups and downs in the cryptocurrency industry, while on the other hand, tech giants such as Nvidia and Micron are soaring on NASDAQ. Many friends holding U in their hands, watching the sky high wealth and prosperity of the US stock market, inevitably feel itchy in their hearts.
But if you really want to buy it, you will find a big mountain lying in front of you.
What is the traditional path to buying a real Tesla? You have to first convert the U withdrawal in your hand into fiat currency, bearing the risk of exchange losses and card freezing in the middle; Then go and deal with complex overseas bank cards; Then go to the traditional US stock brokerage to submit a bunch of materials to open an account; Finally, we have to bear the high wire transfer fees and several days of time costs to transfer the money in.
After this process is completed, the yellow flowers will have cooled down.
In order to address this pain point, there have been several alternative solutions in the industry, but after carefully studying their underlying logic, I found that none of them can withstand scrutiny.
The first type is the so-called asset tokenization that has been very popular recently, which involves packaging US stocks as tokens and selling them on the chain. It sounds decentralized, but the fatal flaw lies in liquidity and asset types. This platform usually only provides a few hundred popular stocks, and when you trade, your counterparty is other retail investors in the token pool, without access to the real liquidity of Wall Street. Buy a little more, the slippage is so big that it makes you doubt your life.
The second type is the price difference contract or perpetual contract that many platforms are working on. This may seem like you can play directly with U, but you don't actually hold stocks. You are just betting on price fluctuations with the platform, and as long as you hold the position overnight, you will have to pay a considerable capital fee or overnight fee. Is it for long-term value investment? The cost of friction alone can exhaust you.
Faced with this dilemma, I have recently noticed that Gate has taken a completely different, and even hardcore, path: they have abandoned the clever token mapping model and directly opened up the underlying pipeline of the US stock market.
Today, let's break it down. How is it achieved by buying real stocks directly with U?
To truly connect cryptocurrency and traditional finance, compliance and underlying architecture are indispensable. The solution chosen by Gate this time is called the comprehensive introduction broker model in finance.
Simply put, they partnered with Alpaca, a local brokerage firm in the United States that holds a legitimate brokerage license and has clearing qualifications. In this architecture, Gate plays an extremely efficient front-end channel responsible for identifying user identities and processing orders; Alpaca provides a unified master account on the backend to directly sell these orders to major exchanges in the United States.
This means that the moment you click to buy in the app, your order is not circulating in a closed pool of funds, but actually penetrates into the real trading market in the United States, and is finally cleared and stored by the American Depository Trust and Clearing Company. This cooperative securities firm is also a member of the US Securities Investor Protection Corporation, and its assets are regulated within the iron cage of traditional finance.
The smooth running of this underlying architecture directly reduces dimensionality and hits various pseudo requirements before, bringing several very exciting experience leaps.
Firstly, we completely bid farewell to exchange losses and cumbersome processes. As long as you have USDT or USDC in your account, you can buy directly. Gate automatically completes the settlement of stablecoins to US dollars seamlessly in the background through the underlying service provider. It's like scanning a QR code with your phone to buy a cup of coffee from across the ocean in China, where the exchange rate conversion and cross-border settlement are instantly completed, and all you feel is a smooth sensation.
Next is the liquidity of the dimension reduction strike level. Because the underlying interface is with the real US market, you are no longer facing token pools, but the depth of the five mainstream exchanges such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. The system will execute the national best buy and sell prices in the US market. Whether you buy a stock or hit a big order, you will receive the real liquidity of Wall Street, and you no longer have to worry about inexplicable slippage.
The richness of assets is not at all on the same scale. Compared to the hundreds of targets searched by token platforms, this direct access model directly fills over 10000 asset classes. Whether it's mainstream technology stocks, various obscure ETFs, real estate trust funds, or even preferred stocks, as long as they are available in the US stock market, you can basically find and buy them.
But what hit me the hardest were actually two details about money.
One is zero holding cost. Because you are buying spot stocks, which are real stocks, there are no disgusting overnight fees like contracts. You buy Nvidia for three years, and apart from the extremely low transaction fee at the moment of buying and selling, there is no loss in between.
The other is automatic receipt of dividends. Friends who have bought high-yield stocks or ETFs know how valuable dividends are. In the traditional cumbersome system, receiving dividends across borders may require complicated declaration. But now, once the real US stocks you hold distribute dividends, after deducting taxes, the money will automatically become USDT and be deposited into your account. Lying down and collecting U, this is the true income after sleeping.
Let's look back and see why this is a layout with a turning point.
The traditional financial world and the crypto world have long been like two isolated islands. Traditional securities firms are constrained by the neck of deposits and withdrawals. Although there are many types of assets, the threshold is frighteningly high, and trading hours are also rigid. Although it is easy to deposit funds on cryptocurrency platforms, when it comes to traditional assets, they often have to deal with tokens that lack depth or high cost contracts.
Gate's direct access to the US stock market this time is essentially an extremely advanced router.
It uses the most suitable way for Web3 users, which is to only look at basic authentication and stablecoin direct connection, to package the most orthodox and compliant Wall Street financial core. You don't need to understand what a clearing system is, you don't need to know whether orders are routed to the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, you just need to know that the U in your hands can now become the highest quality asset on this planet without friction.
The evolution of finance has always been towards reducing friction and improving efficiency. When the circulation of funds is no longer restricted by cumbersome fiat currency channels, and when the liquidity of the encrypted world can be directly irrigated to traditional physical enterprises, we may be witnessing the arrival of a truly borderless, all-weather trading era!
