Gate has announced the launch of its US stock options trading service, initially covering 9 popular US stock underlyings, including NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), AMD (AMD), Micron (MU), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet Class A (GOOGL), and Broadcom (AVGO), spanning popular sectors such as AI technology, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and cloud computing. After updating the Gate App to version v8.35.0, users can participate in US stock options trading, further expanding their trading strategy space.
In terms of the trading experience, Gate US stock options simplify the account opening and settlement processes. Users can participate in US stock options trading without needing to open a separate US stock account or margin account. The product is settled in USDT and does not involve physical stock delivery. Users are not required to prepare the full capital for purchasing the underlying shares at settlement, nor do they need to hold the stocks for delivery, making the trading and settlement process more straightforward. Additionally, Gate US stock options will implement 0 platform fees and 0 options commissions, with initial support for trading during US market hours. Third-party regulatory and clearing fees will be charged separately according to relevant rules; specific trading rules are subject to the platform page.
The launch of US stock options is an important step in Gate's continued efforts to strengthen its global stock trading services. Gate has built a stock trading system covering four core markets: US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, Korean stocks, and Japanese stocks, supporting over 12,800 stocks and ETFs, providing users with more diverse global asset allocation options. In addition, Gate pioneered a zero-fee model for US stocks, supporting fractional share trading, stock dividends, cross-broker transfers for US and Hong Kong stocks, and corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits, continuously optimizing the user experience for stock asset trading.
With the addition of US stock options, Gate's stock product suite will become more comprehensive. In addition to directly participating in the stock and ETF markets, users can also trade on the future price movements of popular US stock underlyings through different approaches such as calls and puts, providing more options for various market views and trading strategies. The initial launch of these 9 popular underlyings will also enrich users' trading tools and cater to their diversified needs for market participation and asset allocation.
Looking ahead, Gate will continue to expand its stock market coverage based on the multi-asset trading needs of global users, enrich its range of stock and related financial products, and continuously improve its trading, asset management, and service experience. This will drive the ongoing upgrade of its one-stop multi-asset trading services, offering users more diverse and flexible ways to participate in global markets.
