In July 2025, the world's leading cryptocurrency platform, Gate, announced the official launch of the xStocks trading zone, covering both spot and derivative markets. The initial batch of supported assets includes COINX, NVDAX, CRCLX, AAPLX, METAX, HOODX, TSLAX, GOOGLX, offering a new channel for global users to trade tokenized stocks directly with cryptocurrencies such as USDT. At the same time, Gate Alpha has also simultaneously opened up the xStocks trading functionality, with initial listings including MSTRx, CRCLx, SPYx, NVDAx, TSLAx, AAPLx, further enriching users' options for on-chain asset trading and strategic exploration.

This move not only expands the asset allocation choices for crypto users but also signifies a new stage of integration between crypto finance and traditional capital markets at the industry level. As a result, Gate has become the world's first trading platform to launch a tokenized stock futures market, leading the way in realizing a trading ecosystem at the intersection of traditional and digital assets.

Breaking Down Asset Barriers, Connecting Global Users to Wall Street

The Gate xStocks zone adopts a compliant tokenization model for physical assets, with all listed tokens corresponding to publicly traded stocks, having full asset backing, supporting free transfers and on-chain trading, and enabling seamless integration across blockchains and multiple ecosystems.

Unlike traditional brokers relying on local account opening, complex compliance, and fiat settlement processes, Gate's trading services are globally accessible, allowing users to participate in the stock token market conveniently using cryptocurrencies such as USDT. This "borderless trading" mechanism significantly lowers the entry barriers for global user participation, providing an efficient solution for cross-border fund flows and global asset allocation.

Additionally, the platform also supports 24/7 round-the-clock trading, fractional share investing, on-chain liquidity, and other functions, enabling users to transcend the limitations of traditional market hours and structures, obtain an unprecedented flexible investment experience within the crypto ecosystem, and further achieve a seamless connection between traditional finance and decentralized finance.

World's First Stock Futures Market, Pioneering Derivatives Frontier

It is worth noting that the newly launched Stock Contract Market is a global first, allowing users to participate in volatile markets through leverage and bi-directional trading. Users can implement more flexible trading strategies in a USDT pricing system. This feature not only provides efficient tools for professional traders but also opens up a new gateway for crypto users to enter the stock derivatives market.

Furthermore, Gate has made comprehensive optimizations at the core architectural level, including trading mechanisms, matching engines, price discovery, and risk management. Tailored to the liquidity characteristics of tokenized stocks and the trading habits of crypto users, Gate has developed a highly responsive, stable, and compatible trading system. Whether in spot or contract markets, users can experience smooth trading, clear price feedback, and multi-dimensional risk control support, showcasing the platform's long-term accumulation and meticulous refinement in system performance and product experience.

Empowering Global Financial Boundary Restructuring through Connectivity

The xStocks trading section launched by Gate this time is clearly not just a product line extension but an important step in its long-term strategy of "connecting traditional and future finance." By establishing a traditional asset trading infrastructure based on the crypto ecosystem, Gate is reshaping the way global investors and capital markets connect.

Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate, stated, "Our goal is not just to offer another asset class for trading but to fundamentally redefine the relationship between users and assets. By building a truly global, borderless investment platform bridged by crypto assets, Gate aims to enable everyone to equally access global financial opportunities."

In 2025, Gate completed its brand upgrade, unifying its domain as Gate.com to step into a new stage of development with a clearer global positioning. Meanwhile, the platform ranked second globally in spot trading volume and liquidity, experienced robust growth in the futures market, continuously broke through in-depth liquidity and user activity, firmly holding a place in the top five globally, establishing its leading position in the global crypto financial infrastructure field.

Against the backdrop of the accelerating digital transformation of the global financial landscape, Gate's trading section undoubtedly provides a practicable paradigm for the entire industry to learn from and offers a forward-looking answer to the proposition of "integrating decentralized financial infrastructure with traditional capital markets."
