Redefining stock trading on-chain

In today’s rapid integration of blockchain and financial technology, the Gate xStocks zone is not just a product innovation but a disruption of the capital market structure. Through on-chain native design, xStocks directly opens the stock trading rights, which were previously exclusive to traditional brokerage firms, to global users, no longer constrained by time, space, or financial intermediaries. This is not just an evolution of trading tools but a reconstruction movement of financial sovereignty.

Trading patterns of different strategies

USDT spot and perpetual contract dual channel

xStocks supports spot trading and perpetual contract operations based on USDT. Users can choose the appropriate leverage (up to 10 times) according to their risk tolerance to execute both long and short strategies, flexibly responding to market fluctuations.

Alpha Mode: Advanced Player Interface

For advanced users pursuing more refined risk control and strategic flexibility, the Alpha mode offers a more professional operational view and technical tools to assist users in seeking advantageous positions amidst high-frequency fluctuations.

The difference between xStocks and traditional brokers

Traditional brokers generally have high barriers to entry, limited trading hours, and cumbersome asset transfer processes. However, xStocks is designed to eliminate these constraints and achieve the following advantages through on-chain asset methods:

• Asset linkage transparency: each token corresponds to a stock asset linked to the entity.
• Value is fully backed by assets, verifiable and provable.
• Support on-chain transfers and cross-chain operations, significantly enhancing asset liquidity.
• 365 days × 24 hours of uninterrupted trading, breaking the limits of global time zones
• Fractional shares available for purchase: Small amounts of capital can also enter and hold shares of top stocks.

These designs allow investors to directly participate in the global stock market without relying on traditional financial institutions, achieving asset autonomy and active management.

Financial infrastructure that reconstructs the asset allocation perspective

xStocks is not just a functional platform; it is also part of the on-chain financial infrastructure. Its launch brings three significant implications in terms of asset management and global participation:

1. Decentralization enters the stock market
   Break down geographical and identity restrictions, allowing users from different countries to participate in trading equally, such as popular targets like US tech stocks.
2. Provide a new layer of asset portfolio tools
   xStocks integrates on-chain crypto assets with traditional financial stocks, allowing Web3 users to further expand their asset allocation.
3. Create an investment environment with autonomous control
   Users can independently deposit, withdraw, transfer, and trade without going through banks or brokerages, truly holding the sovereignty of their assets in their own hands.

Multi-layer risk control

While pursuing efficiency and freedom, xStocks does not neglect risk management. The platform has a built-in dynamic adjustment engine that automatically fine-tunes the following parameters based on real-time market conditions to maintain trading stability, including the following points:

• Minimum Price Tick (Tick Size)
• Maximum contract leverage limit
• Minimum Margin Maintenance Ratio
• Single Transaction Risk Exposure Limit
• The funding rate automatically adjusts based on volatility.

These mechanisms ensure that users can operate in a relatively controlled risk environment while engaging in efficient trading.

Whether it’s individual users who have just entered the on-chain world or professional investors seeking diversified allocation, xStocks is a new option worth exploring. It is not just about putting stocks on-chain; it is about steering the future of investment towards decentralization, transparency, and borderlessness.
