Fact Check
The official Gate announcement (article 100169) directly confirms every element of the claim: eight USDT-margined stock and ETF perpetual futures, up to 20x leverage, a 06:00 UTC June 16, 2026 launch, and explicit caveats that timing may delay and trading parameters may change. This is the primary source from the entity itself, so the claim is well-supported.

Summary

Gate said it will launch eight USDT-margined stock and ETF perpetual contracts at 06:00 UTC on June 17, 2026, expanding its lineup of equity- and fund-linked derivatives. The new contracts are SOXSUSDT, GLDUSDT, XLKUSDT, SQQQUSDT, XLFUSDT, EEMUSDT, GEVUSDT and LQDUSDT, covering inverse semiconductor and Nasdaq-100 ETFs, a gold-backed ETF, sector funds for technology and financials, an emerging-markets equity ETF, GE Vernova and an investment-grade corporate bond ETF. Gate said the products support long and short positions with leverage from 1x to 20x, with leverage selected at order placement. The exchange also said launch timing could be delayed if pre-launch volatility is significant and that trading parameters, including funding rates, tick size, maximum leverage, risk limits and maintenance margin requirements, may be adjusted based on market conditions.
