This milestone initiative not only opens a new channel directly to Wall Street for tens of millions of encryption users, but also announces the arrival of a new era in the industry—encryption finance and traditional capital markets are merging with unprecedented depth and breadth. This is no longer just an expansion of product lines, but a key step in Gate’s long-term strategy to reconstruct the way financial connections are made.

1. Breaking Barriers: The Paradigm Revolution of Directly Connecting Encryption Assets to Core Assets

For a long time, there has been an invisible barrier between traditional financial markets and the world of encryption finance. For the vast majority of investors in non-Western countries or those who are not well-versed in traditional financial systems, participating in the stock market often means cumbersome account opening processes, complex fiat currency settlements, and geographical restrictions. This not only hinders the cross-border flow of funds but also limits investors’ freedom to diversify their asset allocation.

The launch of the Gate xStocks stock trading zone is a disruption of this traditional barrier. Its core lies in adopting a compliant physical asset tokenization model. This means that all tokens launched in the xStocks zone correspond strictly to publicly traded stocks and are fully backed by assets. For example, the NVDAX token (corresponding to Nvidia), AAPLX token (corresponding to Apple), etc., have real stock assets as their backing. This model not only gives the tokenized stock assets a high level of trust endorsement but also enables them to have the capability for free transfer and on-chain trading, allowing for seamless integration across blockchains and multiple ecosystems.

The most revolutionary aspect is that Gate’s stock trading service is open to all. This “borderless trading” mechanism greatly lowers the threshold for users to participate in stock trading, providing an unprecedented efficient solution for cross-border capital flow and asset allocation. Imagine investors in any corner of the world can participate in the most vibrant capital markets in real time, simply by holding encryption assets; this is undoubtedly a significant enhancement to the inclusiveness of traditional finance.

2. All-weather, fragmented, on-chain liquidity: redefining the investment experience

The trading hours and minimum trading unit restrictions of traditional stock markets often make investors feel constrained. However, Gate xStocks stock zone integrates the flexibility and efficiency of the encryption world into traditional asset trading, bringing users an unprecedented investment experience:

24/7 Trading: Unlike traditional stock markets that are only open at specific times on weekdays, Gate xStocks area supports round-the-clock trading. This means that investors can trade at any time according to their schedule, whether it’s early morning, late at night, or on weekends, allowing them to seize market opportunities in a timely manner. This uninterrupted trading capability is undoubtedly a great convenience for investors across different time zones.

Fractional Shares: For many high-priced blue-chip stocks, purchasing a full share at once can be a barrier for small investors. The fractional share investment feature provided by Gate allows users to purchase less than one share of stock, significantly lowering the financial barrier to participating in the stock market, enabling more ordinary investors to share in the growth dividends of quality companies.

On-chain liquidity: The on-chain characteristics of tokenized stock assets bring unique liquidity advantages. After the launch of xStocks trading functionality in Gate Alpha, the first batch of tokenized assets such as MSTRx, CRCLx, SPYx, NVDAx, TSLAx, AAPLx will further enrich users’ options for trading and strategy exploration in on-chain assets. On-chain liquidity means transparency and traceability in transactions, and it also reserves a vast space for imagination for more complex DeFi application scenarios in the future.

These features together create an investment environment that transcends the time and institutional constraints of traditional markets, truly achieving a seamless connection between traditional finance and decentralized finance, and providing users with an unprecedented flexible investment experience.

3. Pioneering the Stock Contract Market: Expanding New Frontiers in Derivatives

If tokenized stock spot trading breaks down asset barriers, then the pioneering stock contract market has opened up a brand new frontier in the derivatives field. This feature is undoubtedly another highlight of the Gate xStocks section.

In the stock contract market, users can participate in stock volatility through leverage and two-way operations, allowing for more flexible trading strategy configurations under the USDT pricing system. This means that regardless of whether the market is rising or falling, professional traders can seize opportunities by going long or short. For users accustomed to cryptocurrency contract trading, this will be a familiar track, but the underlying assets are the most attractive stock assets, which undoubtedly opens up a new gateway for crypto users to enter the stock derivatives market.

Gate has demonstrated deep technical accumulation and forward-looking layout in this regard. To ensure the robust operation of the stock contract market, Gate has comprehensively optimized the core architecture in trading mechanisms, matching engines, price discovery, and risk management. They have tailored a highly responsive, stable, and compatible trading system that addresses the liquidity characteristics of tokenized stock assets and the operating habits of encryption users. Whether in the spot or contract market, users can enjoy a smooth trading experience, clear price feedback, and multi-dimensional risk control support, which fully reflects Gate’s long-term accumulation and meticulous refinement in system performance and product experience.

4. Gate’s grand vision: the re-builder connecting traditional and future finance.

Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han has a profound interpretation of this: “Our goal is not just to provide one more trading category, but to fundamentally reconstruct the relationship between users and assets. By creating a truly decentralized, borderless investment platform using encryption assets as a bridge, Gate hopes to enable everyone to equally access financial opportunities.”

This statement clearly explains that the xStocks stock trading zone launched by Gate is not just a simple product line expansion, but rather itsLong-term strategy of “Connecting Traditional and Future Finance”An important step. By building a traditional asset trading infrastructure based on encryption ecology, Gate is reshaping the way investors connect with the capital markets.

The year 2025 is significant for Gate. The brand officially completed its upgrade, unifying its domain to Gate.com, entering a new stage of development with a clearer positioning. Meanwhile, the platform has shown outstanding performance in various data metrics: spot trading volume and liquidity rank second, the contract market has shown steady growth, continuously breaking through in terms of depth liquidity and user activity, firmly staying in the top five. These impressive figures have fully established Gate’s leading position in the encryption financial infrastructure sector.

Against the backdrop of the accelerated digital transformation in the current financial landscape, Gate’s stock trading area undoubtedly provides a practical paradigm for the entire industry to learn from. It not only delivers a forward-looking answer to the proposition of “the integration of decentralized financial infrastructure and traditional capital markets,” but also showcases in practical action how encryption finance empowers tradition, how it breaks barriers, and how to create a more inclusive and efficient new financial order.

5. Future Outlook: A Bridge to a Borderless Financial World

The launch of the Gate xStocks stock trading zone is not just a technical or product innovation, but a profound transformation of financial concepts. It heralds the arrival of a more open, interconnected, and inclusive new era of finance.

It is foreseeable that in the future, more traditional assets will enter the encryption world in the form of tokenization, and the boundaries between encryption finance and traditional finance will become increasingly blurred. Gate, as a pioneer and promoter of this trend, is building a bridge to a borderless financial world for tens of millions of users.

As blockchain technology matures and the regulatory environment improves, tokenized assets will no longer be limited to stocks; in the future, they may encompass a variety of assets including major stocks, bonds, real estate, and even artworks. With its deep expertise in technology, compliance, and user experience, Gate is expected to continue playing a leading role in this wave of financial innovation.

The emergence of Gate xStocks is undoubtedly one of the most exciting events in the cryptocurrency finance sector in 2025. It not only injects strong momentum into Gate’s own development but also provides investors with unprecedented opportunities. More importantly, it paints a grand blueprint for the future integration and development of the entire industry. We have reason to believe that Gate will continue to drive the reconstruction of financial boundaries with its mission of connectivity, making “Wall Street at your fingertips” a real experience for millions of investors.
