Buy US Stocks Directly with USDT – No Currency Exchange, No Extra Account Needed
Say Goodbye to Traditional Broker Complexity
Traditional US stock investing for international users involves a complex process: selling crypto → withdrawing fiat → cross-border remittance → broker deposit → currency exchange and trading. This process involves banks, brokers, and foreign exchange, often taking several days to complete a single transaction.
On Gate’s platform, users can buy US stocks directly with their USDT balance. There’s no need to convert to USD, no cross-border remittance, and no extra brokerage account required. The entire process completes in seconds, dramatically improving capital efficiency.
Buy as Little as 0.01 Shares – Low Entry for Leading Assets
Traditional brokers usually require purchasing whole shares. As of June 9, 2026, Nvidia’s stock price is about $208.64, and Tesla’s is about $396, creating a financial barrier for small investors.
Gate’s US stock trading supports fractional shares starting at 0.01 shares, allowing users to invest in leading US stocks like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla with as little as $1. This enables true fragmented asset allocation.
Compliance Foundation – Deep Collaboration with SEC-Registered Clearing Broker Alpaca
Real US Stocks, Not Tokenized Assets
On June 3, 2026, Gate announced a major milestone: signing a comprehensive clearing agreement with SEC-registered clearing broker Alpaca.
This marks a fundamental difference between Gate’s US stock trading and typical tokenized stocks. By directly connecting with Alpaca, a licensed US Broker-Dealer, Gate enables users to purchase real US stocks on its platform. Every share bought on Gate is backed by real assets independently held in the DTC (Depository Trust Company) system.
SIPC Member Broker Custody – Asset Security Guaranteed
Partner broker Alpaca is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), providing asset protection for client securities under applicable conditions.
Investors holding real stocks enjoy the same rights as those with traditional brokers: cash and stock dividends, participation in rights issues, stock splits, bonus shares, and all corporate actions. Dividends are automatically credited to Gate accounts.
Over 10,000 Assets – Coverage Across Five Major Exchanges
One of the most notable advantages of Gate TradFi’s real stock trading is its massive asset coverage.
The platform has listed over 10,000 real stocks and ETFs, comprehensively covering the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and other major US securities markets. From tech giants like Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN) to small-cap stocks, growth assets, and thematic ETFs across industries, all are accessible within a unified account system.
For users seeking long-term allocation in tech stocks and index assets, broader asset coverage means more investment choices. Whether you’re interested in traditional blue chips, emerging pharma, or thematic ETFs, Gate’s vast asset pool offers ideal opportunities.
Fees as Low as 0.023% – Zero Holding Costs
Gate’s product page shows spot stock trading fees as low as 0.023%, charged as a proportion of transaction value.
It’s important to note that the actual applicable fee rate may depend on user account level, transaction amount, and trading history. When estimating costs, users should refer to the fee rate displayed in their account, order confirmation, and trading history.
Unlike common stock CFDs or perpetual contracts on Gate, real spot stock trading features zero holding costs—no swap fees, no overnight fees, and no extra funding costs for holding positions.
Compared to traditional brokers, international users trading US stocks on conventional platforms often face additional costs beyond trading commissions, such as currency exchange fees, SEC fees, and FINRA fees. For crypto users already holding USDT, Gate’s USDT settlement model significantly reduces fiat currency exchange costs.
US Stock Market Update (June 12, 2026)
According to the latest market data, all three major US indices closed higher on June 12 local time, with the Dow and S&P 500 both hitting at least three-month closing highs. At the close:

- Nasdaq Index gained 0.24% to 19,662.48
The Dow reached its highest level since March 6, while the S&P 500 hit a new high since February 21. The continued strength of the US stock market offers abundant trading opportunities for users interested in global tech stock investments.
