As the digital asset market increasingly converges with traditional financial markets, investors are seeking more seamless cross-market trading solutions. Beyond cryptocurrencies, a growing number of users want the convenience of global stock allocation on a single platform, while maintaining efficient capital management.
Gate has officially launched its stock trading services, enabling users to trade major US stocks and ETFs directly with USDT. The platform is also expanding its global reach, offering an around-the-clock trading experience that includes US, Hong Kong, and South Korean stocks. With unified account management, multi-market coverage, and flexible trading mechanisms, Gate is steadily building a diverse investment platform that integrates digital assets with global equities.
Gate Stocks: Bridging Digital Assets and Global Equity Markets
The launch of Gate Stocks marks a significant expansion in asset allocation options. Users can now access stock and ETF trading directly through their Gate accounts using USDT, eliminating the need to switch platforms. This makes it easier for stablecoin investors to diversify into global equities. Compared to the traditional process of transferring funds to brokerage accounts, Gate integrates digital asset and stock investments within a single account system, streamlining cross-market asset management and extending USDT’s use case to global stock allocation.
Distinct from Tokenized Stocks: Direct Stock and ETF Trading Services
While tokenized stocks and RWA (Real World Asset) mapping have been hot topics, Gate Stocks takes a different approach. This service does not involve on-chain mapped assets or tokenized stocks. Instead, Gate connects with compliant brokers to offer direct stock and ETF trading, focusing on market access and robust trading services. Users participate in actual stock and ETF trades, not blockchain-issued derivative tokens, providing an alternative gateway to global capital markets.
24/7 Trading Across US, Hong Kong, and South Korean Markets
One of Gate Stocks’ standout features is its pioneering 24/7 trading model covering US, Hong Kong, and South Korean equities. In addition to pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading, the platform now supports overnight and weekend sessions, breaking free from the fixed trading hours of traditional securities markets. This flexibility is especially valuable for investors in different time zones—those in Asia, for example, can adjust their strategies without waiting for official market openings. The 24/7 model also empowers investors to react instantly to major market events, enhancing cross-market asset management efficiency.
Over 12,500 Stocks and ETFs for Diverse Investment Options
Gate Stocks has established a comprehensive global trading framework.
Platform supports:
- Over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs
- More than 1,500 Hong Kong-listed equities

Altogether, the platform covers more than 12,500 stocks and ETFs, offering broad market allocation choices.

Access to Leading Global Companies
Gate Stocks features a wide range of renowned global companies. In the US market, users can trade shares of Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, Microsoft, and other major tech firms. Hong Kong listings include Tencent, Xiaomi Group, and Meituan, while South Korean offerings feature Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor. With a single platform, investors can access multiple markets and industries, making global asset allocation more convenient.
USDT Trading Support for Enhanced Capital Efficiency
Gate Stocks continues Gate’s unified account design, allowing users to trade stocks and ETFs directly with USDT. For stablecoin holders, there’s no need to convert to fiat or transfer funds across platforms—global stock investments can be made instantly. Integrating digital and stock assets within one account centralizes asset management and boosts overall efficiency.
Dedicated Architecture for Stock Trading and CFDs
Gate Stocks operates on a separate product architecture from CFDs. Buying, holding, and selling stocks all occur via independent fund management, with no involvement in typical CFD swap fees or overnight holding costs, nor perpetual contract funding rates. This structure suits investors seeking medium- to long-term stock allocation, allowing them to hold positions according to their plans without worrying about additional holding fees.
Fractional Shares Lower the Barrier to Global Stock Investing
Beyond full-share trading, Gate Stocks offers fractional share services, with a minimum investment of just 0.01 shares. Investors can participate in major global companies without purchasing a whole share, increasing flexibility in capital allocation and lowering the entry threshold for high-priced stocks. More users can tailor their asset allocation to their investment scale.
Synchronized Support for App and Web Platforms
Gate Stocks is available on both App and Web interfaces. Whether on mobile or desktop, users can quickly access market information and execute trades, ensuring a seamless cross-device experience.
VIP Levels Integrated with Stock Trading Services
Gate Stocks is fully integrated with the platform’s VIP system. Users with holdings of $2,000 or more are upgraded to VIP status, enjoying an exclusive minimum stock trading fee of 0.023% and dedicated 1-on-1 account manager services. Unified VIP benefits ensure a consistent trading experience and service across digital assets and stock markets.
Gate Continues to Expand Its Global Multi-Asset Trading Landscape
From crypto trading to equities, Gate is advancing its global financial product offerings. The platform not only integrates digital assets and stock trading, but also leverages unified accounts, multi-market coverage, and 24/7 trading to create a comprehensive environment for global asset allocation.
