Gate Ondo Zone: New Opportunities for Investors with Tokenized Stocks and ETFs

Gate Ondo Zone Overview

In 2025, Gate, together with Ondo Global Markets, launched the Gate Ondo Zone to provide a cutting-edge investment platform for users worldwide. This specialized area enables investors to trade tokenized stocks and ETFs directly with USDT. Every tokenized asset is fully backed by underlying securities held with a regulated custodian, ensuring robust security and full regulatory compliance.

The Gate Ondo Zone bridges the gap between traditional financial markets and the crypto sector, empowering investors to seamlessly participate in global capital markets through a blockchain-based platform that offers 24/7 trading.

What Are Tokenized Assets?

Tokenized assets are traditional financial instruments—such as stocks, ETFs, and bonds—that have been converted into digital tokens via blockchain technology, with each token representing direct ownership of the underlying asset. Tokenizing assets effectively addresses key limitations in conventional investment markets:

• Global access: Users can invest in international markets without the need for cross-border account setups.
• Enhanced liquidity: Tokenized assets are transferable and tradable at any time.
• Lower barriers to entry: Investors can purchase fractional shares or ETF shares without substantial capital (fractional trading).

Core Functions and Advantages of the Gate Ondo Zone

• Global Investment Platform

The Gate Ondo Zone offers tokenized stocks and ETFs, allowing investors to easily access major global assets such as Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, and the Nasdaq Index. Users can participate without traditional brokerage accounts, streamlining the investment process.

• 24/7 Trading

In contrast to the restricted trading hours of traditional markets, the Gate Ondo Zone offers 24/7 trading, enabling users to respond to market movements at any time.

• Security and Transparency of Tokenized Assets

A regulated custodian holds the actual assets backing each token, creating a direct link to the underlying securities. The blockchain immutably records all transactions, ensuring maximum transparency and traceability.

• Fractional Trading

The Ondo Zone supports fractional trading, allowing investors to acquire portions of high-value stocks for less capital. This reduces market entry barriers. It also expands access to investments in leading global companies.
