Gate Unveils Hong Kong Hang Seng Index Perpetual Contracts, Advancing Global Multi-Asset Trading Ecosystem

Gate has officially launched an expanded suite of perpetual contract spot trading (USDT-settled) starting January 27 at 16:00 UTC+8, reinforcing its position as a comprehensive multi-asset trading platform. This rollout introduces a carefully curated selection of instruments across four primary trading zones, with HK50 (Hong Kong Hang Seng Index) emerging as a key addition to the Indices category, enabling traders to gain exposure to Asia’s leading equity benchmark.

Indices Zone Takes Center Stage with HK50 and Beyond

The newly activated Indices trading zone now encompasses three major regional stock indices with flexible leverage options. HK50 (Hong Kong Hang Seng Index) joins the US30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average) and JPN225 (Nikkei Index) in offering traders 1–10x leverage, providing diversified exposure to Asia-Pacific equity markets. The introduction of HK50 allows users to trade the blue-chip stocks of Hong Kong’s primary exchange with regulated leverage, addressing growing demand for Asian equity index access among the global trading community.

Precious Metals and Commodities Reach New Heights

The Precious Metals zone has been expanded to include four contract categories: XAL (Aluminum), XCU (Copper), XNI (Nickel), and XPB (Lead), each supporting 1–10x leverage. Simultaneously, the Commodities zone now features WTI Crude Oil (XTI) and Brent Crude Oil (XBR), both accessible with 1–10x leverage, granting traders exposure to energy market dynamics across multiple benchmark grades.

Forex Trading with Extreme Flexibility

The Forex zone provides access to major currency pairs including EURUSD (Euro/US Dollar) and GBPUSD (British Pound/US Dollar), with an exceptionally high leverage ceiling of 1–100x. This elevated leverage capability enables sophisticated traders to execute more nuanced currency strategies with concentrated capital deployment.

A Unified Ecosystem Bridging Crypto and Traditional Finance

Gate’s evolving platform now delivers a seamless experience across traditional financial assets and cryptocurrency markets. By consolidating precious metals, stock indices (including HK50), forex pairs, and energy commodities under one trading roof, Gate reinforces its commitment to eliminating friction between traditional and digital asset trading. Users benefit from consistent interface design, unified risk management tools, and the ability to diversify portfolio exposure across multiple asset classes—all within a single platform ecosystem.

The expansion underscores Gate’s strategy to position itself as the go-to destination for traders seeking exposure to both crypto and conventional financial instruments, with HK50 perpetual contracts serving as a gateway to Asia’s equity market landscape.
