Trade stocks with USDT on Gate? A detailed guide to the latest updates in the TradFi section and 4x leverage strategies

By 2026, the integration of the crypto world and traditional finance is advancing at an unprecedented pace. As a leading global digital asset platform, Gate’s TradFi trading system is becoming a key bridge connecting these two worlds as part of its “Intelligent Web3” strategy.

Recently, Gate announced a major update to its TradFi stock section, launching 10 CFDs of globally renowned companies all at once, with support for 4x fixed leverage. This not only greatly enriches the trading options for platform users but also marks a solid step forward in Gate’s development of a “comprehensive digital financial platform.”

Gate TradFi: Opening the Door to Traditional Finance with USDT

Before diving into the new tokens, let’s first understand what Gate TradFi actually is.

Simply put, Gate TradFi is an innovative trading system launched by Gate that allows users to use USDT as margin to directly trade derivatives in traditional financial markets, covering forex, precious metals, indices, commodities, and now the highly关注的 global stocks.

This means you don’t need a US stock brokerage account or to exchange dollars—just your crypto assets—and you can participate in the price movements of Apple, Tesla, and even the new batch of tech giants introduced in this article.

According to Gate’s transparency report released in February 2026, the total trading volume of the Gate TradFi system has exceeded $70 billion, with a peak of over $10 billion in a single day. This astonishing data not only proves the market’s strong demand for TradFi products but also confirms Gate’s deep expertise and stable technology in this field.

New Voyage Begins: 10 US Stock CFDs Officially Launched

According to the official announcement, the Gate TradFi stock section now officially offers CFDs for the following 10 stocks:

• 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 cover a range of hot sectors including AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, military, e-commerce, and streaming. For example:

• UPST (Upstart Holdings): A platform using AI to optimize credit approval processes, UPST has been a leading indicator in fintech and recently attracted attention from many institutions.
• TEAM (Atlassian): A global leader in team collaboration software like Jira and Confluence, TEAM has a deep moat in enterprise services.
• SNPS (Synopsys): An essential player in chip design automation (EDA) software, SNPS benefits greatly from the global semiconductor and AI hardware boom.
• MELI (MercadoLibre): Latin America’s e-commerce and payments giant, often called “Latin America’s Amazon + PayPal,” with growth closely tied to digitalization in Latin America.

Trading Highlights: 4x Fixed Leverage and USDT Settlement

The 10 newly listed trading pairs not only offer opportunities to go long or short on these top global companies but also introduce 4x fixed leverage.

This means if you’re bullish on the long-term development of cybersecurity, believing CRWD or DDOG has upside potential, you don’t need to invest full capital. Just put up 25% margin to enjoy a 4x nominal position. Of course, leverage is a double-edged sword—it amplifies gains but also risks, so traders should manage their positions carefully.

Additionally, all trading processes remain as simple as ever with Gate TradFi:

• Trading pairs: UPSTUSD, TEAMUSD, etc., with USD suffix indicating valuation in USDx.
• Settlement assets: Your profit/loss and margin are still fully supported by USDT, with no need for additional exchanges or custody concerns.
• Trading hours: Covering major US stock trading hours, but during non-US hours, quotes may have lower liquidity.

How to Participate in Gate TradFi Stock Trading?

If you’re a regular Gate user, you can easily find the entry point via Web or App:

1. Web: Visit the official website’s TradFi trading section, select the stock category, and choose the relevant trading pairs like UPSTUSD or TEAMUSD.
2. App: Open the Gate App, tap 【Trade】→【TradFi】→【Stocks】, and find the 10 newly listed stocks to trade.

For new users who haven’t experienced TradFi before, this is an excellent entry opportunity. Using familiar USDT-based trading, you can not only trade cryptocurrencies but also build a diversified portfolio including traditional US stocks, truly achieving global asset allocation.

Conclusion

Gate is accelerating its evolution from a single cryptocurrency exchange to an “Intelligent Web3” ecosystem that deeply integrates TradFi, Web3, and AI.

The large-scale launch of the TradFi stock section is not just about adding trading pairs but a key part of Gate’s strategic layout. It breaks down the barriers between crypto assets and the real economy, allowing crypto funds to flow freely into the value creation of traditional tech giants. With ongoing improvements in compliance (such as obtaining a Malta payment institution license) and infrastructure, we have reason to believe that Gate TradFi will become an important financial infrastructure connecting these two worlds.
