In June 2026, Gate entered a period of rapid product iteration in the realm of real stock trading. On June 1, it officially launched live US stock trading. By June 11, it announced the rollout of Hong Kong stock trading services, followed by the full launch of its web-based stock trading platform on June 12. This series of moves marks Gate’s accelerated evolution from a single-focus cryptocurrency exchange to a "multi-asset allocation platform."
For investors, the key question is: How many types of stocks can you actually trade on Gate TradFi? Are both US and Hong Kong stocks available? The answer is a resounding yes. As of June 17, 2026, Gate’s stock business fully covers the two major securities markets—US and Hong Kong—supporting over 11,500 stock-related assets in total.
US Stocks: Over 10,000 Assets, Complete Coverage of Five Major Exchanges
Since officially launching US stock trading services on June 1, 2026, Gate has become one of the few crypto platforms in the industry to offer direct access to live US stock trading.
In terms of asset coverage, Gate supports more than 10,000 US stocks and ETFs. The platform provides comprehensive access to all five major US securities exchanges and liquidity networks, including:
- NYSE (New York Stock Exchange)
- Nasdaq
- NYSE Arca
- NYSE American
- BATS
This means that from tech giants to sector ETFs, and from blue chips to growth stocks, Gate users can access virtually all core assets of the US capital markets on a single platform. Popular tech stocks such as NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Google (GOOGL) are all available for trading.
Importantly, Gate’s US stock trading offers real stocks, not tokenized products or contracts for difference (CFDs). Gate connects directly with Alpaca, a compliant broker holding US Broker-Dealer licenses and clearing qualifications, ensuring that every share purchased is backed by real assets independently custodied within the DTC (Depository Trust Company) system. While holding these positions, users automatically enjoy full shareholder rights, including cash dividends, stock splits, rights issues, and other corporate actions.
On the trading experience front, Gate supports pre-market and after-hours trading, extending the traditional US trading hours to a 16×5 schedule. This allows users to respond more promptly to earnings reports, announcements, and macroeconomic data. The platform also supports fractional share trading starting at as little as 0.01 shares, enabling users to invest in top US stocks with as little as $1.
Hong Kong Stocks: Over 1,500 Assets, Covering Core Blue Chips and Growth Stocks
On June 11, 2026, Gate officially launched Hong Kong stock trading services. By June 15, Gate TradFi had rolled out stock trading in Hong Kong.
The initial offering includes over 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, covering leading, highly liquid companies listed on both the Main Board and GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Representative companies include:
- Tencent Holdings
- HSBC Holdings
- CATL
- China Mobile
- Xiaomi Group
- Meituan
- BYD Company
- Ping An Insurance
- AIA Group
- Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing
From an industry perspective, Gate’s Hong Kong stock coverage spans core sectors such as tech and internet, finance, new energy, telecommunications, consumer goods, and biomedicine.
Hong Kong stock trading shares the same stock account system as US stocks. Users only need to transfer USDT from their spot account to their stock account to start trading Hong Kong stocks directly. Stock prices, portfolio value, and P&L are displayed in Hong Kong dollars (HKD), while fees are converted to USDT at real-time exchange rates. Note that Hong Kong stocks are only available for regular trading hours; pre-market and after-hours trading are not currently supported.
Seamless Cross-Market Asset Allocation with USDT: One-Stop Trading
The core innovation of Gate’s stock trading lies in using USDT to directly buy and sell real stocks.
Traditionally, crypto users wanting to invest in US or Hong Kong stocks had to endure a lengthy process: "sell crypto → withdraw fiat → remit funds overseas → open a brokerage account and fund it." This could take days and incur multiple fees. Gate’s approach streamlines this into: hold USDT in your account → transfer to your stock account → buy stocks with one click.
No currency conversion, no cross-border remittance, no need to open an additional brokerage account. With USDT liquidity in your Gate account, you can directly invest in both US and Hong Kong stock markets. A single stock account manages positions across both markets, eliminating the hassle of maintaining multiple broker relationships.
On the cost side, Gate’s real stock trading offers zero holding costs—there are no funding rates, swap fees, or overnight charges. This is ideal for users looking to hold long-term and enjoy full shareholder rights. In terms of trading fees, the platform’s comprehensive VIP system allows users to qualify for VIP status with just $2,000 in holdings, unlocking exclusive rates as low as 0.023% per trade.
Summary
