On July 3rd, Gate officially introduced the xStocks US stock trading zone, marking a significant advancement in crypto asset platforms. This launch supports both spot and contract markets, initially featuring eight prominent US stock tokens including COINX, NVDAX, and AAPLX. Users can now trade these tokenized stocks directly using USDT and various cryptocurrencies, enhancing liquidity and market access.
In parallel, Gate Alpha integrated the xStocks trading functionality, listing additional tokens such as MSTRx, SPYx, and TSLAx. This expansion broadens the spectrum of on-chain asset trading options, empowering investors to diversify strategies within a compliant and secure environment. Gate’s platform is recognized as the first globally to facilitate crypto US stock contract markets, underscoring its pioneering role in digital asset innovation.
The xStocks zone employs a regulated physical asset tokenization model, ensuring each token is fully collateralized by the corresponding publicly traded stock. This structure supports free transferability and seamless on-chain trading, enabling interoperability across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Notably, Gate offers 24/7 trading without KYC requirements, lowering barriers for global investors and promoting continuous market participation.
