Open the Gate App and tap the "TradFi" tab in the navigation bar to discover an entirely new world of trading. Here, you can use the USDT in your account to directly trade gold, forex, global stock CFDs, and major indices.
As Gate’s newly launched multi-asset trading portal, Gate TradFi has already supported over 100 popular traditional financial instruments during its public beta.
Product Positioning: A One-Stop Trading Platform Revolution
There has long been an invisible barrier between traditional financial markets and the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Investors often had to switch between different platforms, manage multiple accounts, and deal with complicated fund transfers.
The launch of Gate TradFi aims to break down this barrier. It’s not just a functional module, but a strategic expansion for Gate, seamlessly connecting traditional financial instruments with the crypto trading ecosystem.
This innovation means you no longer need to download extra trading software or transfer funds between multiple accounts. Everything is managed within the familiar Gate platform, enabling unified management and trading of both crypto and traditional financial assets.
Coverage: Mainstream Financial Asset Classes
According to official Gate information, the initial TradFi module supports (but is not limited to) the following five major asset classes, meeting the diverse allocation needs of different investors.
| Asset Class | Specific Examples | Key Features & Description |
|---|---|---|
| Precious Metals | XAU/USDT (Gold) | Priced and settled in USDT, trade the world’s most recognized safe-haven asset directly. |
| Forex | EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and other major pairs | Access the world’s most liquid and active forex markets to capture macroeconomic trends. |
| Stock CFDs | Select FAANG and top tech stocks | Trade CFDs of leading global companies—go long or short without holding the actual shares. |
| Global Indices | S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, FTSE 100, etc. | Instantly gain exposure to major markets like the US and Europe—ideal for macro hedging and trend trading. |
| Commodities | Crude oil, copper, platinum, etc. | Includes key commodities like energy and industrial metals—trade the pulse of the global real economy. |
Gate is committed to continuously expanding the TradFi product lineup with more asset classes in the future.
Core Mechanism: Efficient and Transparent Trading Experience
Gate TradFi deeply integrates traditional financial market rules with the convenience of crypto assets.
Unified Margin and Settlement: All TradFi contracts use USDx as the margin and settlement unit. USDx is an internal unit designed specifically for TradFi assets and is pegged 1:1 to USDT.
When you transfer USDT from your unified or spot account to your TradFi account, your balance automatically displays as USDx. The system handles this process seamlessly—no manual conversion or extra fees required.
Flexible Trading Mechanism: TradFi contracts follow traditional financial market rules, with fixed trading hours and market closures. This differs from the 24/7 trading of crypto perpetual contracts.
The system uses a cross-margin model, allowing you to hedge long and short positions in the same instrument based on position size. P&L is calculated against counterparties’ prices, and overnight financing fees are charged during market closures according to standard CFD market practices.
Robust Risk Controls: The platform features a margin-based forced liquidation mechanism. If your account margin level drops to 50% or below, the system initiates forced liquidation, gradually reducing positions according to preset rules to manage risk during extreme market conditions.
