Wall Street Within Reach: Gate xStocks Redefines Global Investing Through Crypto

In July 2025, the leading encryption asset platform Gate dropped a bombshell: the xStocks stock trading zone officially launched.

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 at the industry level—encryption finance and traditional capital markets are merging with unprecedented depth and breadth. This is no longer just an expansion of the product line, but a key step in Gate’s long-term strategy to reconstruct the way financial connections are made.

Breaking Barriers: The Paradigm Revolution of Direct Connection Between Encryption Assets and 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-informed about the traditional financial system, 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 capital but also limits the freedom for investors 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 the adoption of a compliant physical asset tokenization model. This means that all tokens launched in the xStocks zone strictly correspond to publicly traded stocks and are fully backed by asset collateral. For example, the NVDAX (corresponding to Nvidia), AAPLX (corresponding to Apple), and other tokens traded by users are supported by real stock assets. This model not only provides a high level of trust backing for tokenized stock assets but also enables the capability of free transfer and on-chain trading, achieving seamless integration across blockchains and multiple ecosystems.

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

24/7, Fragmented, On-chain Liquidity: Redefining the Investment Experience

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

24/7 Trading: Unlike traditional stock markets that are only open during specific hours on weekdays, Gate xStocks area supports 24/7 trading. This means that investors can trade at any time according to their own schedules, whether it be 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, buying a whole share at once may pose a barrier for small investors. The fractional shares investment feature offered by Gate allows users to purchase less than one share of stock, significantly lowering the financial threshold for 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 opening of xStocks trading functions synchronously in Gate Alpha, the first batch of tokenized assets such as MSTRx, CRCLx, SPYx, NVDAx, TSLAx, and AAPLx will further enrich users’ options in on-chain asset trading and strategy exploration. On-chain liquidity means transparency and traceability of transactions, and it also reserves a vast imagination space for more complex DeFi application scenarios in the future.

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

Pioneering Stock Contract Market: Expanding New Frontiers in Derivatives

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

In the stock contract market, users can participate in stock volatility with leverage and two-way operations, enabling more flexible trading strategy configurations under the USDT pricing system. This means that whether the market goes up or down, professional traders can seize opportunities by going long or short. For users accustomed to encryption currency contract trading, this will be a familiar track, but the underlying assets are the most attractive stock assets, which undoubtedly opens a new entrance for encryption users into the stock derivatives market.

Gate has demonstrated a strong technical foundation and forward-looking layout in this regard. To ensure the robust operation of the stock contract market, Gate has conducted comprehensive optimizations at the core architecture level, including trading mechanisms, matching engines, price discovery, and risk management. They have tailored a high-responsive, high-stability, and high-compatibility trading system to suit the liquidity characteristics of tokenized stock assets and the operational 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.

Gate’s Grand Vision: Reconstructing the Connection Between Traditional and Future Finance

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

This statement clearly explains that Gate’s launch of the xStocks stock trading zone is not just a simple product line expansion, but an important step in its long-term strategy of “connecting traditional and future finance.” By building a traditional asset trading infrastructure based on the encryption ecosystem, Gate is reshaping the way investors connect with capital markets.

The year 2025 is a significant year for Gate. The brand has officially completed its upgrade, unifying its domain to Gate.com, stepping into a new stage of development with a clearer positioning. Meanwhile, the platform has performed excellently in various data metrics: spot trading volume and liquidity rank second, the contract market has shown steady growth, and it has continually broken through in terms of depth liquidity and user activity, firmly remaining in the top five. These impressive figures comprehensively establish Gate’s leading position in the encryption financial infrastructure field.

Against the backdrop of the accelerated digital transformation in the current financial landscape, Gate’s stock trading area undoubtedly provides a practicable paradigm for the entire industry. It not only delivers a forward-looking answer to the proposition of “the integration of decentralized financial infrastructure with traditional capital markets” but also demonstrates in practice how encryption finance can empower the traditional sector, break down barriers, and build a more inclusive and efficient new financial order.

Future Outlook: A Bridge to a Borderless Financial World

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

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.

With the continuous maturity of blockchain technology and the gradual improvement of the regulatory environment, tokenized assets will no longer be limited to stocks, and may in the future encompass various types of assets including major stocks, bonds, real estate, and even artworks. Gate, with its deep expertise in technology, compliance, and user experience, 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 field of encryption finance in 2025. It not only injects strong momentum into Gate’s own development but also provides investors with unprecedented opportunities. More importantly, it sketches 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 connecting mission, making “accessible Wall Street” a real experience for billions of investors.
