Gate Stocks Officially Launches, Direct Access to the US Stock Market
With the official launch of its stock trading service, Gate is expanding its investment offerings into the US securities market. Users can now directly trade stocks and ETFs on the platform, further bridging the gap between crypto assets and traditional financial markets.
This new service not only broadens Gate’s product lineup but also signals the company’s move toward becoming a diversified trading platform that integrates digital assets, stocks, and global financial products. Users can now manage asset allocation across different markets within a single account system.
No Tokenization—Direct Access to Real Markets
In recent years, there’s been growing discussion around stock tokenization and RWA (Real World Assets) mapping models, with many platforms offering stock-related products through on-chain asset mapping.
Gate takes a different approach. Instead of tokenized stocks or on-chain derivatives, Gate’s stock service enables users to trade real stocks and ETFs through licensed brokers. This ensures direct access to the actual securities markets and strengthens the integrity of the trading system.
Over 10,000 Stocks and ETFs Covering Major US Markets
Gate Stocks currently supports trading in over 10,000 stocks and ETFs, covering multiple major US exchanges and liquidity networks.
Investment options include:
- NYSE (New York Stock Exchange)
- Nasdaq
- NYSE Arca
- NYSE American
- BATS and other markets
While some tokenized stock platforms offer only a few hundred assets, Gate provides a much broader selection, enabling users to build a more comprehensive global asset portfolio tailored to their needs.
The product currently supports intraday trading, with plans to gradually move toward 24/7 trading, enhancing convenience and flexibility for market participants.
Trade Stocks Directly with USDT—Connecting Crypto and US Equity Markets
As a crypto trading platform, Gate has integrated its stock service into the existing account structure, allowing users to invest in stocks and ETFs directly with USDT.
With a unified asset account design, users don’t need to set up a separate investment system to allocate funds between digital assets and the US stock market. For investors who already use stablecoins to manage their assets, this means USDT can now be used for stock investments as well.
Full Stock Trading Integration in the Gate App
To lower the barrier to entry, Gate has integrated stock trading features into its existing app ecosystem. Android users can access these features by updating to the latest version, while iOS users can experience stock trading by updating to version 8.21.5.
After completing KYC verification and meeting local access requirements, users can enter the TradFi section of the app to view stock quotes and place trades. Once USDT is transferred, users can invest in the stock market directly—no complicated processes required.
Operates Separately from CFDs—Ideal for Long-Term Investors
Gate Stocks and CFD (Contract for Difference) products are managed independently. Users can buy, hold, and sell stocks through their Gate account, with funds managed separately. Unlike some derivatives, spot stock trading doesn’t involve funding rates, swap fees, or overnight holding costs. This makes it easier for long-term investors in US equities to manage their positions and capital intuitively.
Gate Accelerates Development of a Cross-Market Asset Allocation Platform
Industry trends show crypto exchanges are evolving from single-asset trading venues into critical infrastructure connecting global capital markets. The launch of Gate Stocks not only expands the platform’s capabilities in traditional finance but also strengthens its multi-asset trading ecosystem. Going forward, Gate will continue to enhance global market access, liquidity integration, and cross-market trading capabilities, working toward a unified trading environment for crypto, stocks, and a wide range of financial products.
How to Get Started with Gate Stocks
Getting started with Gate Stocks is straightforward. Simply update the Gate App to the latest version, log in, navigate to the Stocks section under TradFi, and transfer USDT to begin trading US stocks and ETFs.
