Gate has officially launched Hong Kong stock trading services, further expanding its global securities asset coverage. After upgrading the Gate App to version 8.23.5 or above, users can directly trade stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through the Gate stock portal. By using USDT to conveniently participate in the Hong Kong stock market, users no longer need to open a separate traditional Hong Kong brokerage account or exchange Hong Kong dollars themselves, further lowering the barrier to entry for global capital markets.
As a significant expansion of Gate's stock business, the first phase lists over 1,000 Hong Kong stock targets, covering high-quality listed companies with larger market capitalizations and good liquidity on the Main Board and GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This includes representative listed companies such as Tencent Holdings, HSBC Holdings, Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), China Mobile, Xiaomi Group, Meituan, BYD Company, Ping An Insurance, AIA Group, and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. Subsequently, Gate will continue to expand the range of tradable targets based on market demand and compliance requirements.
With the launch of Hong Kong stock trading, users can share the same stock account system used for existing US stock products, achieving unified capital management, position management, and trading experience. Users simply need to transfer USDT from their spot account or unified account to their stock account to directly start trading Hong Kong stocks. Compared to US stocks, Hong Kong stock trading is denominated in Hong Kong dollars (HKD), with prices, position market values, and profits/losses all displayed in HKD. It only supports trading during regular market hours and does not offer pre-market or after-hours trading services. Additionally, Hong Kong stock trading supports functions consistent with US stocks, including buying, selling, position management, order inquiry, and asset management, providing users with a more convenient one-stop investment experience.
Currently, Gate Stock allows users to trade over 10,000 US mainstream market stocks and ETFs using USDT, covering major US securities trading markets and liquidity networks such as NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS. It also supports fractional share trading with a minimum investment of 0.01 shares. At the same time, Gate Stock is fully integrated with the VIP tier system. Users can easily upgrade to VIP by holding just 2,000 USD in their account, enjoying a minimum exclusive trading fee of 0.023% for stock trading and a 1V1 customer manager service.
The addition of the Hong Kong stock market further enriches the market coverage of Gate's stock products, enabling users to invest in both the US and Hong Kong, two core capital markets, on a single platform. This provides users with more diversified global equity asset allocation options. Leveraging the unified account system, USDT settlement capability, and a continuously expanding global asset network, users can conveniently participate in investments across markets like Hong Kong and US stocks on the same platform, achieving cross-market asset allocation and management, thereby further enhancing the convenience and efficiency of global investing.
Meanwhile, the launch of Hong Kong stock trading further completes Gate's product ecosystem in the traditional financial asset sector. Currently, Gate has established a multi-layered product layout covering Pre-IPOs, Direct IPO Access, and stock trading. This connects the entire chain from pre-listing opportunities and IPO subscriptions to secondary market trading, providing users with investment participation pathways covering different stages of a company's development.
In the future, Gate will continue to expand its coverage of global stocks and traditional financial assets, constantly enriching tradable targets and market categories to further improve global asset access and allocation efficiency. At the same time, Gate will also keep refining its product ecosystem covering pre-listing opportunities, IPO participation, and post-listing trading, aiming to build a more open, efficient, and diversified one-stop investment platform for users.
