In July 2025, Gate, the worlds leading crypto asset platform, announced the official launch of the xStocks U.S. stock trading zone , covering both spot and contract markets. The first batch of support includes 8 popular U.S. stock targets including COINX, NVDAX, CRCLX, AAPLX, METAX, HOODX, TSLAX, and GOOGLX, providing global users with a new channel to directly trade tokenized U.S. stocks with crypto assets such as USDT. At the same time, Gate Alpha has also opened the xStocks trading function, and the first batch of online targets include MSTRx, CRCLx, SPYx, NVDAx, TSLAx, and AAPLx, further enriching the users choice space in on-chain asset trading and strategy exploration.
This move not only broadens the asset allocation options for crypto users, but also marks a new stage in the integration of crypto finance and traditional capital markets at the industry level. Gate has thus become the worlds first trading platform to launch a tokenized U.S. stock contract market, taking the lead in implementing a closed-loop transaction at the intersection of traditional assets and digital assets.
Break through asset barriers and connect global users directly to Wall Street
Gate xStocks US stock zone adopts a compliant physical asset tokenization model. All listed tokens correspond to publicly traded stocks, have full asset collateral, support free transfer and on-chain transactions, and can achieve seamless integration across blockchains and multiple ecosystems.
Unlike traditional brokerage firms that rely on local account opening, complex compliance and legal currency settlement processes, Gates US stock trading services are open to the world, without KYC restrictions, and users can easily participate in the tokenized US stock market with crypto assets such as USDT. This borderless trading mechanism has greatly reduced the threshold for global users to participate in US stocks, and provided an efficient solution for cross-border capital flows and global asset allocation.
At the same time, the platform also supports 24/7 trading, fractional share investment, on-chain liquidity and other functions, allowing users to transcend the time and institutional limitations of the traditional market, gain unprecedented flexible investment experience in the crypto ecosystem, and further achieve seamless connection between traditional finance and decentralized finance.
The worlds first US stock contract market opens up new frontiers for derivatives
It is worth noting that the US stock contract market launched this time is a global first. Users can participate in the volatility of US stocks through leverage and two-way operations, and realize more flexible trading strategy configuration under the USDT pricing system. This function not only provides efficient tools for professional traders, but also opens a new entrance for crypto users to enter the US stock derivatives market.
In addition, Gate has comprehensively optimized the core architectures such as trading mechanism, matching engine, price discovery and risk management, and tailored a highly responsive, highly stable and highly compatible trading system for the liquidity characteristics of tokenized US stock assets and the operating habits of crypto users. Whether in the spot or contract market, users can get a smooth trading experience, clear price feedback and multi-dimensional risk control support, reflecting the platforms long-term accumulation and fine polishing in system performance and product experience.
With the mission of connection, we promote the reconstruction of global financial boundaries
The US stock trading area launched by Gate is obviously not a product line expansion, but an important step in its long-term strategy of linking traditional and future finance. By building a traditional asset trading infrastructure based on the crypto ecosystem, Gate is reshaping the way global investors connect with the capital market.
Dr. Han, founder and CEO of Gate, said: Our goal is not only to provide another trading category, but to fundamentally reconstruct the relationship between users and assets. By building a truly global, borderless, crypto-asset-based investment platform, Gate hopes to enable everyone to have equal access to global financial opportunities.
In 2025, Gate officially completed its brand upgrade, unified its domain name to Gate.com, and entered a new stage of development with a clearer global positioning. At the same time, the platforms spot trading volume and liquidity ranked second in the world, the contract market grew steadily, and continued to make breakthroughs in deep liquidity and user activity, ranking among the top five in the world, fully establishing its leading position in the field of global crypto financial infrastructure.
Against the backdrop of the accelerated digital transformation of the current global financial landscape, Gates U.S. stock trading zone has undoubtedly provided a practical paradigm for reference for the entire industry, and also delivered a forward-looking answer to the proposition of integration of decentralized financial infrastructure and traditional capital markets.
