Gate expands stock-linked trading with 24/7 spot access and new perpetual contracts

Fact Check
Multiple crypto news-flash sources confirm the claim. The Odaily newsflash (493721) matches it nearly verbatim: 7×24 trading added overnight and weekend access for US, HK, and Korean stocks, with 12,500+ total assets, USDT access, fractional shares, and $2,000 VIP entry. PANews and a second Odaily item corroborate the Korean launch and the unified multi-market product. The figures align (10,000+ US + 1,500+ HK + 1,000+ Korean = over 12,500). The only minor nuance is sourcing is crypto media rather than a Gate official page, but the consistency across independent outlets supports the claim.

Summary

Gate said it has broadened its stock-linked product lineup by expanding 24/7 USDT-based trading across U.S., Hong Kong and South Korean markets and by adding new USDT-margined perpetual contracts tied to U.S. and South Korean equities, plus a Korea benchmark index product. The platform said its 24/7 offering now covers more than 12,500 stocks and ETFs, includes overnight and weekend trading, supports fractional shares from 0.01, and offers VIP access from $2,000 in holdings. Separately, Gate announced eight U.S. stock perpetual contracts scheduled to go live at 06:00 UTC on June 24, 2026, subject to delay if pre-launch volatility is significant, and said it has launched five additional perpetual contracts tied to Samsung Electro-Mechanics, SK Square, HPSP, Jusung Engineering and KR200, based on the KOSPI 200 Index. All of the perpetual contracts support long and short positions with user-selectable leverage from 1x to 20x, and Gate said parameters such as funding rates, tick size, maximum leverage, risk limits and maintenance margin may be adjusted based on market conditions.
