In 2026, the integration of the crypto world and traditional finance is advancing at an unprecedented pace. As a global leader in digital assets, Gate is driving its "Intelligent Web3" strategy, with its TradFi trading system emerging as a key bridge connecting these two worlds.
Recently, Gate officially announced a major update to its TradFi Stock section, launching 10 new global blue-chip company CFDs (Contracts for Difference) at once, all with 4x fixed leverage. This not only greatly expands trading options for platform users but also marks a solid step forward in Gate’s journey to build a "comprehensive digital financial platform."
Gate TradFi: Accessing Traditional Finance with USDT
Before diving into the new assets, let’s first clarify what Gate TradFi actually is.
Put simply, Gate TradFi is an innovative trading system launched by Gate that allows users to use USDT as margin to directly trade derivatives from traditional financial markets. This includes forex, precious metals, indices, commodities, and now, highly sought-after global equities.
This means you don’t need a U.S. brokerage account or to convert to USD. With your crypto assets alone, you can participate in the price movements of Apple, Tesla, and the new batch of tech giants introduced in this article.
According to Gate’s Transparency Report from February 2026, the cumulative trading volume of the Gate TradFi system has surpassed $70 billion, with daily peaks exceeding $10 billion. These impressive figures not only highlight the strong demand for TradFi products but also demonstrate Gate’s deep expertise and technical stability in this field.
Setting Sail: 10 New U.S. Stock CFDs Officially Launched
According to the official announcement, the following 10 stock CFDs are now live on Gate TradFi’s Stock section:
- UPST (Upstart Holdings, Inc)
- TEAM (Atlassian Corporation)
- SNPS (Synopsys, Inc)
- RTX (RTX Corporation)
- ROKU (Roku, Inc)
- MELI (MercadoLibre, Inc)
- INTU (Intuit Inc)
- GD (General Dynamics Corporation)
- DDOG (Datadog, Inc)
- CRWD (CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc)
These 10 stocks span a range of hot sectors, from artificial intelligence and cloud computing to cybersecurity, defense, e-commerce, and streaming. For example:
- UPST (Upstart Holdings): As a platform leveraging AI to optimize credit approvals, UPST has become a bellwether in fintech and has recently attracted significant institutional attention.
- TEAM (Atlassian): The global leader in team collaboration software (like Jira and Confluence), TEAM has established a strong moat in the enterprise services market.
- SNPS (Synopsys): A foundational player in the electronic design automation (EDA) software industry, SNPS is a key beneficiary of the global semiconductor and AI hardware boom.
- MELI (MercadoLibre): Known as the "Amazon + PayPal of Latin America," MELI is a major e-commerce and payments giant whose growth potential is closely tied to the region’s digital transformation.
Trading Highlights: 4x Fixed Leverage and USDT Settlement
The 10 new trading pairs not only allow you to go long or short on these global leaders, but also introduce 4x fixed leverage.
This means if you’re bullish on the long-term prospects of cybersecurity and see upside in CRWD (CrowdStrike) or DDOG (Datadog), you don’t need to commit the full position value. By putting up just 25% margin, you can control a position worth four times your deposit. Of course, leverage is a double-edged sword—it amplifies both gains and losses, so prudent position management is essential.
Additionally, all trading processes retain the hallmark simplicity of Gate TradFi:
- Trading pairs: UPSTUSD, TEAMUSD, etc., with the USD suffix indicating USDx pricing.
- Settlement asset: Your profits, losses, and margin requirements are all 100% backed by USDT—no need for extra conversions or custody concerns.
- Trading hours: Covers major U.S. stock market hours, but be aware that liquidity may be lower outside of U.S. trading sessions.
How to Participate in Gate TradFi Stock Trading
If you’re an existing Gate user, it’s easy to get started via the web or app:
- Web: Visit the official site’s TradFi trading section and select your desired stock pair (e.g., UPSTUSD or TEAMUSD) under the Stocks category.
- App: Open the Gate app, tap [Trade] – [TradFi] – [Stocks], and you’ll find the 10 newly listed stocks ready for trading.
For new users who haven’t yet experienced TradFi, this is a perfect entry point. With familiar USDT-denominated trading, you can not only trade cryptocurrencies but also build an investment portfolio that includes traditional U.S. stocks—achieving true global and diversified asset allocation.
Conclusion
Gate is rapidly evolving from a pure crypto exchange into an "Intelligent Web3" ecosystem that deeply integrates TradFi, Web3, and AI.
This large-scale launch in the TradFi Stock section is far more than just adding new trading pairs—it’s a crucial part of Gate’s strategic roadmap. It breaks down barriers between crypto assets and the real economy, allowing crypto capital to flow freely into the value creation of global tech giants. As Gate continues to strengthen its compliance (such as obtaining a Malta Payment Institution license) and infrastructure, there’s every reason to believe that Gate TradFi will become a vital financial bridge connecting these two worlds.
