Gate ETF Expands Asset Portfolio Again: XAU5L / XAG5L Launch, Capturing Gold and Silver Fluctuations

As crypto finance deeply integrates with traditional markets, Gate is further expanding the asset boundaries for leveraged trading. According to an official announcement, Gate ETF officially launched four new trading pairs on March 9, 2026: XAU5L/USDT, XAU5S/USDT, XAG5L/USDT, and XAG5S/USDT, supporting 5x long and 5x short gold (XAU) and silver (XAG).

This means users don’t need to have futures accounts or handle complex margin management. They can directly participate in 5x leverage trading of precious metals on the Gate platform just like spot trading. The initial net value is 1 USDT per token, providing investors with an efficient and convenient global asset allocation tool.

Meanwhile, Gate has also launched a 10-day ETF trading challenge with a total prize pool of up to 30,000 USDT, offering generous rewards to early participants.

One-Click Gold and Silver Trading: Gate ETF Adds 5x Leverage Pairs

Gate ETF has always aimed to bring traditional financial assets into the crypto trading ecosystem. Starting with 3x leverage covering mainstream coins, US stock indices, and commodities, it now introduces 5x leverage precious metal trading pairs, marking another major upgrade to its product line.

The specific trading pairs launched include:

• XAU5L/USDT: 5x Long Gold
• XAU5S/USDT: 5x Short Gold
• XAG5L/USDT: 5x Long Silver
• XAG5S/USDT: 5x Short Silver

As leveraged tokens, Gate ETF has an automatic rebalancing mechanism. When the market moves favorably, the system automatically increases positions to amplify gains; when the market moves unfavorably, it reduces positions to control risk, maintaining an approximate 5x leverage. This mechanism eliminates the need for users to manage margins or worry about forced liquidations, making leveraged trading as simple as spot trading.

To date, the Gate ETF platform supports trading of 324 tokens, covering mainstream cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks (like NVDA, TSLA), commodities, and global macro indices, truly enabling “one account, trade globally.”

30,000 USDT Prize Pool: Full Breakdown of the ETF Trading Challenge

To celebrate the launch of the 5x leverage precious metals products, Gate will host an ETF trading challenge from 17:00 on March 9, 2026, to 17:00 on March 18, 2026 (UTC+8). The event targets XAU5L/5S and XAG5L/5S pairs, with a three-tier reward system:

Reward 1: Daily Check-in, Random 20–100 USDT

During the event, users who trade the specified ETF pairs and have a trading volume over 1,000 USDT each day will be considered to have checked in successfully and will be randomly awarded between 20 and 100 USDT. Continuous daily check-ins can earn up to 700 USDT. The total prize pool for this is 10,000 USDT, available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reward 2: All-Participants Share, Split 20,000 USDT

All users who participate in trading XAU5L/5S or XAG5L/5S with a total trading volume of at least 1,000 USDT during the event can share in the 20,000 USDT prize pool proportionally based on their trading volume, with a maximum of 200 USDT per person.

Reward 3: Invite Friends, Win a 500 USDT Mystery Box

Inviting friends to trade also earns rewards. When the invited person completes trading the specified ETF pairs with a volume of at least 1,000 USDT, the inviter can receive a mystery box reward of up to 500 USDT. The more friends invited, the more rewards, with no upper limit.

Participation steps: Users need to log in to Gate, click on the event page 【Join Now】 to register, and complete identity verification to be eligible for rewards. All rewards will be distributed as ETF trial funds within 14 working days after the event ends.

From 3x to 5x: How Gate ETF Leverages Global Macro Assets

The launch of 5x leverage products for gold and silver is not Gate ETF’s first foray into traditional assets. As early as early 2026, Gate launched 3x long/short gold (XAU3L/3S), silver (XAG3L/3S), crude oil (XTI3L/3S, XBR3L/3S), as well as global macro indices like Nasdaq 100 (NAS1003L/3S) and S&P 500 (SPX5003L/3S).

According to statistics, in February 2026 alone, Gate ETF’s total monthly trading volume exceeded 16.277 billion USDT, maintaining industry leadership. Its success hinges on:

• Low barrier: No futures account needed, no margin required, trade directly with USDT.
• No liquidation risk: Automatic rebalancing manages leverage, avoiding forced liquidations.
• Transparent fees: 0.1% daily management fee with no hidden costs.
• Asset diversity: Over 320 trading pairs covering “crypto + traditional” assets.

Risk Warning: Leverage is a Double-Edged Sword

While Gate ETF offers a convenient leveraged trading experience, industry analysis repeatedly emphasizes: leveraged tokens are suitable for short-term trend trading, not long-term holding.

In trending markets, Gate ETF can amplify returns through compounding; but in sideways markets, due to daily rebalancing, net asset value may erode over time. The longer the sideways period, the higher the erosion costs. Investors should fully understand product features, tailor their trading strategies to their risk tolerance, and avoid passive holding during consolidation phases.

Conclusion

Users can directly search for XAU5L, XAU5S, XAG5L, and XAG5S on the Gate App or official website to access trading pages and start 5x leveraged long or short gold and silver.

During the event, by registering and meeting trading thresholds, participants also have a chance to share in the 30,000 USDT prize pool. For traders looking to flexibly position in precious metals amid inflation expectations or geopolitical volatility, this is undoubtedly a tool worth关注的。
