#gStocksTokenizedStocksLive

Gate gStocks is officially live!

On-chain stocks, the possibilities are multiplied. Gate gStocks is officially live — fractional shares backed 1:1 with real stocks, 24/7 trading, and starting from 1 USDT. The order book trading model is perfectly suited to crypto users with a zero learning curve. gStocks is fully integrated with Gate's unified account — positions can be staked or placed into savings products, so stock assets can be converted into dynamic assets. Dividends are automatically credited to the account, and you get one-stop management for both crypto and securities.

* “Tokenized stocks backed 1:1 with real stocks”: Each token is intended to correspond to one share (or a fraction of a share) of a real stock held by a custodian.

* “24/7 trading”: Unlike traditional exchanges, these tokens can generally be traded on the platform around the clock, while the underlying stock market is only open during normal trading hours.

* “Fractional share purchases starting from 1 USDT”: You don't need enough money to buy a full share. You can invest a small amount equivalent to 1 USDT.

* “Orderbook-based trading”: Similar to how many cryptocurrency exchanges operate, transactions are matched between buyers and sellers.

* “Integrated into Gate's unified account”: Your tokenized shares and crypto assets are managed in the same account on the platform.

* “Positions can be staked or invested in savings products”: Gate says you can earn additional returns by using these tokenized shares in certain platform products. This brings additional risk beyond holding the asset.
* “Dividends are automatically deposited into the account”: If the underlying stock pays dividends, the platform states that equivalent payments will be deposited to the eligible holders of the tokenized share.

A few important points to keep in mind:

* Owning a tokenized share is generally not the same as being a registered shareholder of the underlying company. Depending on the product's structure, your rights (such as voting) may be limited or unusable.

* You rely on the exchange and its custodians to hold the actual shares and to process buybacks or dividend payments.

* The availability of tokenized shares depends on your jurisdiction, and regulatory treatment varies by country.

* Even if the token trades 24/7, its price may differ from the market price of the underlying share when traditional stock markets are closed.

If you are considering using gStocks, it is helpful to review Gate's documentation to understand:

1. Who holds the underlying shares,
2. Whether the tokens can be converted into actual shares,
3. What shareholder rights (if any) you have,
4. Any associated fees, and
5. Whether the service is available and compliant in your country.
