Odaily Planet Daily News, according to an official announcement, Gate Stock has officially launched Korean stock trading services. Users can now directly use USDT to trade stocks listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX) without the need to open a traditional Korean brokerage account or exchange Korean won, allowing convenient participation in the Korean capital market. Korean stocks will share a unified stock account system with US and Hong Kong stocks, supporting functions such as buying/selling, portfolio management, and profit/loss inquiry, enabling one-stop allocation and management of digital assets and global securities assets.
In its initial phase, Gate's Korean stock service offers the top 1,000 stocks by market capitalization listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX), covering the KOSPI main board and the KOSDAQ market. The first batch of trading targets includes representative listed companies in the Korean market such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, NAVER, Hyundai Motor, and Celltrion. Additionally, Gate will host a Korean stock trading event from June 22, 16:00 to June 30, 16:00 (UTC+8), allowing participation in popular stock investments in the Korean market and a chance to share in stock rewards worth over $200,000 from Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor.
With the official launch of Korean stocks, Gate's stock section has formed a global stock product system covering three core markets: US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks. Relying on a unified account structure, users can directly participate in global stock investments using USDT, with support for fractional share trading starting from a minimum of 0.01 shares. Furthermore, Gate's stock products are fully integrated into the platform's VIP level system. Users only need to hold $2,000 in assets to qualify for VIP status, enjoying a minimum trading fee of 0.023% for stocks and 1V1 account manager services, further enhancing the professional investment experience.
