As of December 22, 2025, the stock token trading on the Gate platform not only maintains its vitality around the clock but also showcases a continuous expansion momentum in the RWA field through a series of newly launched contract products and market activities.

01 Core Business: The operation and advantages of Gate stock tokens.

Gate's stock tokens essentially map the prices of traditional stocks or ETFs onto tokens on the Blockchain. They are linked to real stock prices, and users can buy and sell them using USDT just like trading coins.

The platform mainly offers two tokenized stock products: Ondo Stocks and xStocks. Its core operation relies on partnerships with professional institutions. For example, the collaboration with Ondo allows Gate to provide tokens backed by real securities held by a U.S. registered broker, ensuring compliance and security of the underlying assets.

Compared to traditional stock trading, Gate's stock tokens offer several transformative advantages:

First is the 24/7 trading capability, breaking the trading restrictions of traditional markets during holidays and at night, allowing global investors to respond to market events in real time.

Secondly, there is fragmented ownership. Investors can purchase a portion of shares in high-value companies such as Apple and Amazon without paying the high costs of whole shares, greatly reducing the access threshold for quality assets.

Furthermore, there are significant efficiency and cost advantages. The Gate platform offers a zero custody fee structure, removing a major cost associated with traditional brokerage services. At the same time, trading does not require the establishment of complex international securities accounts, simplifying the process.

02 Recent Updates: Platform Activities and Market Expansion

Entering the fourth quarter of 2025, Gate has been active in the stock token and related businesses, demonstrating its clear intention to drive growth in this sector.

The most direct market incentive activity is underway. Starting from December 2, Gate launched a cashback program for stock token trading, which will last until December 23. This activity offers traders a cashback on transaction fees, with an individual maximum reward of 1,450 USDT.

The platform's basic trading categories are continuously being enriched. On December 21, Gate announced the launch of perpetual contract trading for ZKP, GUA, and IR, all supporting 1-20x leverage and settled in USDT. Although these are not direct stock tokens, the expansion of perpetual contract products reflects the improvement of the platform's derivatives trading system, providing potential trading tools for more assets, including stock tokens.

Previously, Gate also optimized its product line. For example, in August, the platform delisted 15 pairs of ETF leveraged Tokens, including OMG and RVN, to focus more on core products.

This volatility aligns with the cyclical adjustments of the entire crypto market. Investing.com charts show that GT's 52-week price range is between 4.89 and 25.94 USD, indicating significant long-term volatility.

04 Trading Guide: How to Participate in Gate Stock Token Investment

For investors who intend to participate in Gate stock token trading, the process has been highly simplified and is mainly divided into the following steps:

The first step is account preparation. Users need to register on the Gate platform and complete the necessary identity verification, and then deposit USDT or other supported stablecoins into the Gate wallet as the main currency for trading.

The second step is to choose the trading targets and methods. Investors can select from over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs in sections such as the Ondo global market provided by the platform. The trading methods are flexible, supporting not only spot trading for long-term holding but also perpetual contract trading for leveraged long and short operations.

The platform interface provides real-time price and balance display, making it convenient for users to manage these assets. It is worth mentioning that Ondo Stocks, as a “total return tracker,” has its value reflecting the effect of automatic reinvestment of dividends, providing investors with a more complete exposure to returns.

05 Risks and Outlook: Challenges and Opportunities in the RWA Wave

Gate Research Institute pointed out in its report that although the prospects for stock tokenization are broad, attention must still be paid to multiple risks such as price decoupling, oracle failures, and legal regulatory uncertainties. Investors should remain cautious.

At the same time, the growth potential in this field is enormous. Reports estimate that the tokenized securities market could reach a valuation of $1.34 trillion by 2025. Tokenized U.S. stocks have become the third largest RWA asset class, only behind stablecoins and government bonds.

The case of institutional investors has proven its value. For example, a sovereign wealth fund in Asia implemented algorithmic trading strategies through the Gate platform and reported a 30% reduction in trading costs and a 20% increase in execution speed.

Future Outlook

When a European pension fund conveniently held previously inaccessible US tech stocks through the Gate platform and achieved an additional 15% return in six months, the transformation had occurred.

The price of TSL stock tokens on the Gate platform is still pulsating with the rhythm of the crypto market, ignoring the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange. Data shows that over 100 U.S. stocks and ETFs are being traded in token form on the Blockchain 24/7, backed by physical securities held by U.S.-registered brokers, forming a bridge connecting two parallel financial worlds.
