On June 1, 2026, Gate officially launched its real stock trading service, marking a pivotal step as the crypto exchange evolves into a multi-asset allocation platform. For crypto investors holding USDT, the most immediate question is: How many US stocks does Gate TradFi actually support? As of June 15, 2026, Gate’s real stock trading service offers over 10,000 stocks and ETFs, covering the five major US securities markets: the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS. In addition, Gate has also rolled out Hong Kong stock trading, supporting more than 1,000 Hong Kong-listed equities, bringing the total to over 11,000 stock-related assets.
This scale of assets puts Gate in a clear leadership position among platforms that allow users to purchase US stocks with stablecoins. Most tokenized stock platforms typically support only a few hundred assets, but with a matrix of over 10,000 listed securities, Gate offers users a far richer and more comprehensive selection for global securities asset allocation.
More Than Just "Coverage"—Direct Access to Real Wall Street Assets
Gate’s newly launched real stock trading service is fundamentally different from the tokenized stock or RWA (Real World Asset) mapping products commonly found in the market. Gate does not issue on-chain derivatives. Instead, it directly integrates with Alpaca, a fully compliant US broker-dealer licensed for clearing, allowing users to buy real US stocks directly within the Gate platform. Alpaca, Gate’s partner, is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), providing eligible client securities with appropriate protection.
This means that every share users purchase on Gate is backed by real assets independently held within the DTC (Depository Trust Company) system, not by on-chain tokens or derivative mappings. While holding these assets, users automatically enjoy full shareholder rights, including cash dividends, stock splits, rights offerings, and other corporate actions.
Full Coverage of Popular Assets: From Tech Giants to Sector ETFs
Gate TradFi’s asset coverage spans nearly all major sectors of the US capital markets. Among popular tech stocks, leading companies like NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Google (GOOGL) are all available for trading. As of June 15, 2026, NVIDIA was trading at $205.19, with a significant year-to-date gain, and Gate users can purchase its real shares directly using USDT.
Beyond the tech giants, Gate’s asset pool also broadly covers leading companies in pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, energy, and a variety of thematic ETF products. Whether you’re a long-term allocator or a short-term trader, Gate’s extensive asset pool offers ideal options. For example, during market volatility on June 3, 2026, a Gate user withdrew USDT from their wealth management account and purchased NVDA directly on the platform—without any need for fiat withdrawal or currency exchange. This seamless asset conversion channel expands USDT’s utility from pure crypto trading to global stock asset allocation.
Ultra-Low Entry Barriers and Zero Holding Costs: Designed for Long-Term Allocation
Gate TradFi’s real stock trading is purpose-built for the long-term allocation needs of crypto users. The platform supports fractional share trading with a minimum of just 0.01 shares, allowing users to invest in leading US stocks with as little as $1. In terms of holding costs, unlike tokenized stocks or CFD contracts, Gate’s real stock trading features zero holding costs—there are no funding rates, swap fees, or overnight charges. This makes it ideal for users who want to hold positions long-term and enjoy shareholder rights.
Extended Trading Hours: 16×5 with Pre-Market and After-Hours Support
For trading experience, Gate now supports both pre-market and after-hours trading, expanding the traditional US stock trading window to 16×5. This allows users to react more promptly to earnings reports, corporate announcements, macroeconomic data, and other key market events, seizing more investment opportunities. On fees, the platform offers VIP-exclusive rates as low as 0.023%, charged as a percentage of transaction value—matching spot trading fee standards.
Summary
As of June 15, 2026, Gate TradFi’s real stock trading service has launched over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs, fully covering the five major US exchanges including NYSE and Nasdaq, while also supporting more than 1,000 Hong Kong-listed equities, for a total of over 11,000 stock-related assets. Through a strategic partnership with compliant broker Alpaca, Gate provides users with a direct channel to real US stocks, enabling seamless connectivity between crypto accounts and global capital markets for the first time. Building on this foundation, the platform’s core strengths include zero holding costs, minimum 0.01-share fractional trading, 16×5 trading hours, and unified USDT settlement, opening a new gateway for crypto users to access global stock markets. Whether you’re looking to allocate to core US tech assets for the long term or take advantage of cross-market trading opportunities, Gate TradFi is redefining the boundaries of what a crypto platform can do.
FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between Gate TradFi’s real stock trading and the platform’s tokenized stocks?
A: Gate TradFi’s real stock trading is fundamentally different from tokenized stock products. Real stock trading connects directly to the US securities market through the compliant broker Alpaca. Every share users buy on Gate is a real asset, independently held under the DTC system, and users enjoy full shareholder rights during the holding period, including cash dividends and stock splits. Tokenized stocks, on the other hand, are on-chain derivatives, fully backed 1:1, but differ in asset nature and rights protection.
Q: Do I need to open an additional US brokerage account to use Gate TradFi?
A: No. Through its strategic partnership with compliant broker Alpaca, Gate has integrated real stock trading directly into the Gate platform account system. Users do not need to open a traditional brokerage account separately. You can buy and sell US stocks and ETFs directly within your Gate account using USDT, with all holdings and transaction records managed in a unified account interface.
Q: After purchasing US stocks on Gate, can I receive stock dividends?
A: Yes. Every US stock you purchase on Gate is a real asset. If the company issues dividends during your holding period, the system will automatically credit the cash dividend to your Gate account. Corporate actions such as rights offerings and stock splits are also handled automatically by the system, so there’s no need for manual intervention.
