SvmuuNews: According to an official announcement, global leading digital asset platform Gate has officially launched its real stock trading service, allowing users to directly use USDT to trade stocks and ETFs in major U.S. securities markets. Currently, Android users can experience the stock trading function after updating the Gate App to the latest version, while iOS users can access the service after updating to version 8.21.5. Different from the widely discussed stock tokenization and RWA mapping models in the current market, Gate's stock service is not an on-chain mapped asset or tokenized derivative. Instead, by connecting with a compliant broker holding a U.S. Broker-Dealer license and clearing qualifications, it connects directly to the real securities market, providing users with genuine stock trading services.
The broker Gate is cooperating with this time is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which can provide corresponding protection for clients' securities assets under certain conditions. This model aims to enhance trading transparency, asset security, and investor protection mechanisms, also reflecting Gate's continuous expansion in its capability to access traditional financial markets.
