Gate announced LAPTOP perpetual-contract trading in its Meme Zone on September 9, 2026, then scheduled Futures Trading, Trading Bots, and Copy Trading for BHP, RIO, VALE, PURR, and SOFTBANK on September 10, 2026, at 08:00 UTC. LAPTOP supports long and short positions with 1x to 10x leverage, while the five stock-linked perpetual contracts will support 1x to 20x leverage. Gate said bots and copy trading for the five stock contracts will become available within one hour of listing, and that the stock listing could be delayed because of significant pre-listing volatility. The exchange may adjust funding rates, tick sizes, maximum leverage, risk limits, and maintenance-margin requirements according to market conditions. Gate said it supports futures trading for 401 stocks and access to more than 5,100 cryptocurrencies.
