Gate launches stock event contracts, debuting exclusively with MU, SNDK, SKHYNIX, and Unitree Robotics
- Key Insight: Gate has officially launched the world's first stock event contracts, expanding short-cycle price direction trading from crypto assets to traditional stock markets. The first batch lists four underlying assets — MU, SNDK, SKHYNIX, and Unitree Robotics — supporting 5-minute and 15-minute bullish/bearish trading.
- Key Elements:
- Stock event contracts require no leverage or margin. Users only need to predict the price movement of the underlying asset within 5 or 15 minutes. Upon cycle completion, the system automatically settles, and early position closure is supported.
- Trading hours align with the underlying markets: MU and SNDK cover US stock pre-market, regular, and after-hours sessions; SKHYNIX corresponds to the Korean market; and Unitree Robotics aligns with A-share market trading hours. The product is currently available on the web, while the app must be updated to v8.36.0 or above.
- Crypto event contracts currently cover 7 underlying assets — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, and BNB — while the stock category debuts with 4 assets. The product now spans both crypto and stock categories, offering global users cross-market short-cycle trading scenarios.
- To attract user participation, Gate has launched a 60,000 USDT reward campaign, including new user experience vouchers, first-trade rewards, consecutive trading check-ins, and a cumulative trading volume prize pool (20,000 USDT each), providing phased incentives for users at varying levels of engagement.
- The Gate platform has over 60 million users, supports trading of 5,100+ crypto assets and 12,800+ stock assets, and maintains a 100% proof of reserves. This move represents another expansion within its TradFi digital asset trading framework.
Gate officially launches Stock Event Contracts, becoming the world's first trading platform to support stock event contracts. The initial listing includes four underlying assets: MU, SNDK, SKHYNIX, and Unitree Technology, with 5-minute and 15-minute short-term bullish/bearish trading simultaneously enabled, further expanding event contract offerings from crypto assets to traditional stock markets.
Stock Event Contracts focus on short-term price direction prediction. Users do not need to use leverage or post margin — they simply predict the price movement of the underlying asset over the next 5 or 15 minutes, choose bullish or bearish, and submit an order to participate. Upon contract expiry, the system automatically settles the position, while also supporting early position closure for greater trading flexibility.
With the launch of the stock section, Gate Event Contracts now cover two major categories: crypto assets and stocks. Crypto assets include BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, and BNB; stock assets initially cover MU, SNDK, SKHYNIX, and Unitree Technology, providing users with more diverse short-term market trading scenarios.
Tailored to the trading characteristics of different markets, Stock Event Contract trading hours largely align with their respective underlying markets. MU and SNDK support trading during U.S. stock pre-market, regular, and after-hours sessions; SKHYNIX follows Korean stock market trading hours; and Unitree Technology corresponds to A-share market trading hours. By covering stock assets across U.S., Korean, and A-share markets, Gate continues to enrich its stock trading product lineup.
Currently, Stock Event Contracts are available for trading on the Web platform. Gate App users need to update to v8.36.0 or above. Users can navigate to [Futures] - [Event Contracts], select the [Stocks] category to view and trade the relevant assets.
To celebrate the launch of Stock Event Contracts, Gate has simultaneously introduced a special trading campaign with 60,000 USDT in rewards. During the campaign period, new users who complete registration can receive a Stock Event Contract experience voucher; eligible users who complete their first Stock Event Contract trade can participate in the first-trade reward; users who continuously complete trading check-ins and reach specified cumulative trading volumes can also share in the 20,000 USDT check-in prize pool and the 20,000 USDT trading prize pool, respectively. The campaign covers various stages including first-time experience, continued participation, and trading volume, offering users more opportunities to engage with the new product.
The launch of Stock Event Contracts introduces a more flexible short-term trading approach to stock assets and broadens the application scenarios of Gate's stock products. As stocks, RWAs, and more traditional financial assets continue to enter the digital asset trading ecosystem, Gate will keep diversifying its product offerings across different markets and trading cycles, delivering a more diversified and flexible trading experience to users worldwide.
