Gate and Alpaca have reached a strategic cooperation to jointly expand global users' real stock trading services

Gate announces a strategic partnership with Alpaca to further open real stock trading services for eligible users. This collaboration is an important milestone in Gate's ongoing efforts to integrate digital assets with traditional financial markets and create a unified multi-asset trading ecosystem.

Through this partnership, Gate users will be able to trade over 10,000 stocks and ETFs covering major U.S. securities markets, including those listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq, and will support fractional trading starting from as low as $1. Leveraging Gate's unified account system, users can directly use USDT to trade stocks and ETFs, achieving a more seamless connection between digital assets and traditional financial markets.

Accelerating the Connection Between Digital Assets and Global Capital Markets

As one of the world's leading digital asset and comprehensive financial service platforms established in 2013, Gate currently serves over 54 million users globally. The launch of stock trading services reflects Gate's long-term strategic direction in building a unified multi-asset trading platform, further promoting the deep integration of digital assets with traditional financial markets.

In the traditional model, investors often need to open independent brokerage accounts, complete cumbersome registration processes, and manage funds and assets across different platforms to enter the global stock market. By integrating digital assets with traditional financial products, Gate is continuously creating a more efficient and convenient one-stop global investment experience.

To further lower the barriers for users to participate in the global financial market, Gate is evolving from a digital asset trading platform to a multi-asset comprehensive financial platform. The upcoming stock trading services mark an important step for Gate towards building a unified multi-asset platform, allowing users to participate in and allocate diversified assets more conveniently through a unified platform and account system.

Gate's stock trading services rely on compliant regulatory market infrastructure to provide users with the ability to trade real stocks and ETFs, enabling them to invest in traditional financial markets within a familiar crypto-native experience.

Expanding Real Stock Trading Capabilities with Alpaca's Brokerage Infrastructure

Gate chose Alpaca as its infrastructure partner primarily based on its compliant self-clearing brokerage system, API-first technology architecture, and extensive experience in the global financial platform service sector. As a clearing brokerage partner, Alpaca will be responsible for core processes such as order execution, clearing, settlement, and asset custody, while also supporting services like dividend distribution and corporate action processing.

This collaboration will help Gate efficiently expand its stock trading service capabilities while maintaining a smooth user experience. With Alpaca's brokerage infrastructure, Gate can provide eligible users with access to a wide range of U.S. listed stocks and ETFs, further solidifying its market positioning as a multi-asset trading platform.

Jointly Promoting the Inclusive Development of Financial Services

Dr. Han, founder and CEO of Gate, stated that the financial system is evolving towards greater integration and interconnectivity. As the connection between digital assets and traditional financial markets continues to strengthen, the demand for users to efficiently access diverse investment opportunities is growing. By collaborating with Alpaca, Gate will further advance this vision, providing users with seamless access to real stock market investments while continuing the platform's consistent convenience and efficiency. We believe that multi-asset investment gateways will become an important part of the next generation of global financial services.

Yoshi Yokokawa, co-founder and CEO of Alpaca, stated that Alpaca's mission is to enable everyone globally to access financial services more conveniently through modernized infrastructure. We are very pleased to partner with Gate to support its expansion into the U.S. stock market investment services and to continue building a comprehensive financial ecosystem for global users. Both parties will work together to create a more interconnected and efficient global investment experience.

Deepening Multi-Asset Layout, Connecting Crypto with Global Capital Markets

The collaboration with Alpaca is an important part of Gate's advancement of its multi-asset strategy and further strengthens its vision of connecting digital assets with traditional financial markets through a unified platform. In addition to supporting over 10,000 stock assets, Gate has been continuously enriching its TradFi product matrix in recent years, expanding its business scope to include stocks, indices, metals, commodities, and foreign exchange, creating more cross-market investment and asset diversification opportunities for users.

In response to the growing trend of integration between the crypto industry and traditional finance, Gate will continue to promote market openness and product innovation, enhance capital allocation efficiency, and continuously optimize users' multi-asset investment experience, helping global users participate more conveniently in the global financial market.
