Gate xStocks launches tokenized stock trading, the world's first contract market opens a new era of borderless investment.
In July 2025, the global leading encryption asset platform Gate officially launched the xStocks stock trading section, allowing users to trade tokenized stocks directly using USDT and other encryption assets, covering both the Spot and contract markets.
The first batch of listed assets includes mainstream stock tokens such as COINx, AAPLx, NVDAX, CRCLx, breaking down the asset barriers between the crypto world and traditional capital markets.
##Revolutionary Product, How xStocks Reshapes Investment Logic?
xStocks is a compliant physical asset tokenization project launched by Backed Finance, which is centered around issuing on-chain tokens that are fully collateralized 1:1 with publicly traded stocks globally.
This mechanism allows users to achieve "borderless investment like buying stocks" with just an encryption wallet, without the need for a traditional brokerage account.
In the traditional financial sector, stock investment has long been restricted by regional access, fiat currency channels, trading hours, and the minimum purchase requirement for whole shares. The launch of the xStocks area systematically addresses these structural pain points:
This design is not just a product innovation, but also an attempt to reconstruct the logic of global capital flow.
Asset Landscape, Which Popular Targets Are Launching First?
Gate xStocks section's first phase supports 8 major mainstream stock Tokens, covering tech giants and core financial assets:
At the same time, the Gate Alpha zone has launched exclusive underlying assets, including MSTRx (MicroStrategy), SPYx (S&P 500 ETF), and other derivative assets. All Tokens are deployed on the SOL blockchain, enjoying the advantages of fast transfers and low Gas costs.
Breaking technological barriers, the world's first contract market architecture
While most platforms are still at the "asset on-chain" stage, Gate has taken the lead in achieving a comprehensive integration from the underlying layer to the trading layer, becoming the world's first trading platform to launch a tokenized stock contract market.
Its innovation is reflected in the integration of three major technologies:
In contract design, users can operate stock tokens with 1-10 times leverage and implement long and short strategies through USDT settlement. This mechanism provides professional traders with a combination of tools that traditional brokers cannot reach. ##Real-time dynamics, latest market developments on July 25
As of today (July 25, 2025), Gate platform has been very active:
At the same time, Gate Alpha continuously optimizes the xStocks trading experience, providing lower slippage and faster matching services for high-frequency users.
Strategic significance, why does Gate define a new standard?
After the brand upgrade to Gate.com in 2025, the platform accelerated its globalization layout with 31 million users and over 3,600 encryption assets.
The launch of the xStocks section is a key point in its strategy to build the "next generation super unicorn exchange."
Unlike the stock tokens attempted by Binance in its early years, Gate has built a complete trading loop covering "Spot - Contract - Alpha." This ability to deeply integrate traditional assets with encryption mechanisms establishes barriers in three major dimensions:
With the spot trading volume ranking second globally, Gate is evolving from a trading platform into a global asset allocation hub.
User Guide, Three Steps to Start On-chain Stock Trading
For ordinary users, participating in xStocks investment requires only three steps:
Advanced users can directly enter the Gate Alpha area to execute complex strategies using professional tools.
##Conclusion: When Finance No Longer Has Time Differences
xStocks is not only an expansion of the Gate product line but also a landmark turning point in the transition of encryption finance from "application innovation" to "institutional integration."
As the average daily trading volume of tokenized stocks surpasses 240 million USD (2025 Q2 on-chain data), a new paradigm of a global capital market without borders, time zones, and intermediaries is taking shape.
The market is voting with real money, choosing a more flexible and open asset allocation path.
