As global investment markets continue to move toward digitalization and cross-market integration, investors are demanding greater asset liquidity. Beyond a broader range of tradable products, many cross-market investors are now focused on how to freely transfer stock assets between different brokers and reduce management costs.
Gate has officially launched its stock transfer-in and transfer-out feature, supporting cross-broker transfers for US and Hong Kong stocks. This allows users holding stock assets to move their holdings between different brokers, further improving the efficiency of stock management. At the same time, Gate continues to build on its global stock trading infrastructure by integrating digital asset accounts, multi-market stock trading, and 24/7 trading mechanisms, steadily enhancing its global multi-asset service ecosystem.
Gate Stock Transfer Feature Officially Launched: Enabling Flexible Stock Asset Management
In the past, investors holding stocks across different brokers often faced cumbersome transfer procedures and varying market regulations when trying to centralize their assets. As global investment demand continues to grow, the free movement of stock assets has become a key factor in boosting investment efficiency.
With the addition of Gate’s new stock transfer-in and transfer-out services, users can now transfer US and Hong Kong stocks between brokers according to their needs. Users can move stocks held at external brokers into Gate, or transfer stocks from their Gate account out to other brokers. This means your stock allocation is no longer limited to a single platform, giving you greater flexibility and control. By introducing this stock transfer capability, Gate extends its offerings beyond trading services into the realm of stock asset management, empowering global investors to manage their positions across markets more comprehensively.
Key Features of the Stock Transfer Service
The newly launched stock transfer service primarily supports the US and Hong Kong markets. US stocks are transferred using the DTC system, while Hong Kong stocks use the CCASS system. Both utilize the FOP (Free of Payment) method for stock settlement. According to official information, Gate does not charge any stock transfer fees for either inbound or outbound transfers. The entire process is expected to take approximately 3 to 15 business days, though actual times may vary depending on the procedures of both brokers and the relevant markets.
Gate provides a complete step-by-step guide for stock transfers. Users can access the "More" section in the Gate App, select "Common Functions," and then choose either "Transfer In Stocks" or "Transfer Out Stocks." Follow the prompts to select the US or Hong Kong market, enter broker details, stock codes, and quantities, and submit your application. For stock transfers in, users must also contact their original broker to initiate the outbound transfer. For stock transfers out, users need to provide accurate receiving broker information. The platform also offers a transfer application record query feature, allowing users to track the status of their requests in real time—whether processing, completed, or canceled—enhancing overall asset management transparency. This feature is being rolled out in stages, so stay tuned for future app updates.
Stock Transfers Are Just the Beginning—Gate Continues to Expand Global Stock Services
In addition to the new stock transfer feature, Gate has been steadily expanding its global stock product lineup. The platform now supports over 12,500 stocks and ETFs across the US, Hong Kong, and South Korea. This includes more than 10,000 US stocks and ETFs covering major US exchanges such as NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS; over 1,500 Hong Kong stocks; and more than 1,000 South Korean stocks. This broad selection allows investors to build a truly global stock portfolio, including leading global tech companies, major US-listed firms, and representative enterprises from Hong Kong and South Korea—all on a single platform. With the addition of the stock transfer feature, Gate is building a comprehensive service chain that covers trading, position management, and cross-broker asset movement.
24/7 Trading: Breaking the Limits of Traditional Stock Markets
Beyond expanding market coverage, Gate offers another standout feature: a true 24/7 stock trading experience. The platform supports round-the-clock trading for US, Hong Kong, and South Korean stocks—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to regular pre-market, intraday, and after-hours sessions, Gate also covers overnight and weekend trading periods. Unlike traditional securities markets that restrict trading hours, 24/7 trading allows investors to respond quickly to global news, major events, or breaking developments, and to adjust their strategies in real time. This also makes it more convenient for users in different time zones to participate in global markets, driving stock trading toward greater immediacy and flexibility. Additionally, Gate supports fractional share trading starting from as little as 0.01 shares, lowering the barrier to global stock investing and enabling more flexible capital allocation.
Unified Account Structure: Integrating Stock and Digital Asset Management
Beyond stock trading, Gate is committed to bridging digital assets with traditional financial markets. Through a unified account structure, users can manage both digital and stock assets on a single platform, reducing the need to switch between multiple platforms and boosting overall asset management efficiency.
Gate has also integrated stock services into its VIP tier system. Users with stock holdings of $2,000 or more can upgrade to VIP status, enjoying exclusive trading fees as low as 0.023% and dedicated account manager services, further enhancing the cross-market investment experience. For investors interested in both cryptocurrencies and global stocks, this integrated account structure makes multi-asset allocation even more convenient.
How to Use the Stock Transfer Feature
In the Gate App, users can access the stock transfer module via [Stocks] – ["…" in the upper right corner] – [Common Functions], then initiate an application by selecting either "Transfer In Stocks" or "Transfer Out Stocks" (available on app version v8.26.0 and above; the feature is currently being rolled out).
The process is as follows: select the stock → fill in position details → submit the application → system review → clearing and settlement → assets credited.
During the process, users can check the transfer status in real time, such as "Processing," "Submitted," or "Completed," for greater transparency. The core goal of this design is to reduce operational complexity and make cross-market asset migration as close as possible to standard financial operations.

Limited-Time Stock Transfer-In Promotion
To celebrate the launch of the stock transfer feature, Gate is also rolling out a limited-time stock transfer-in promotion. The event runs from June 29 to July 7, 2026. Users who register for the event and successfully transfer in US or Hong Kong stocks with a total market value of at least 3,000 USDT (or equivalent) can apply for a transfer fee subsidy by providing valid proof of transfer fees from their original broker, and also enjoy VIP fast-track benefits. The maximum subsidy for US stock transfers is 15,000 USDT, while Hong Kong stock transfers can receive up to 6,000 USDT. VIP status can be upgraded to as high as VIP 9. Actual subsidy amounts will be based on the original broker’s transfer fees and the event tier. Please refer to the official event announcement for detailed rules.
