Still frustrated about missing U.S. stock market opening hours? Or maybe you’re discouraged by the complex cross-border funding process, watching Tesla and NVIDIA price action from the sidelines?
By 2026, all of that changes. With explosive growth in Gate’s Stock Token section, you can now use a single USDT to trade top U.S. stocks around the clock, just like cryptocurrencies—24/7. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the popular U.S. stock tokens currently supported by Gate, and explains the unique appeal of this emerging trading model.
What Are Gate Stock Tokens?
Before we dive into the list, let’s clarify the concept. Gate stock tokens don’t grant direct ownership of company shares. Instead, they use blockchain technology to create a tokenized representation of traditional exchange-listed stocks, such as Apple or Tesla.
Each token is typically backed 1:1 by real shares held by regulated custodians. This means the token’s price closely tracks the real-time movements of the corresponding U.S. stock, allowing you to capture the price action of quality companies within the crypto ecosystem.
Which U.S. Stocks Are Supported by Gate Stock Tokens? A Look at the Top Picks
Gate’s Stock Token section (xStocks) now features dozens of popular assets, covering tech giants, crypto-related stocks, and blue-chip leaders. Here are some of the most sought-after sectors:
The Tech "Magnificent Seven" and Industry Leaders
This is the most liquid and popular sector among crypto users. You’ll easily find companies that are driving global innovation:
| Token Symbol | Underlying Stock | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| TSLAx / TSLAUSDT | Tesla | Global leader in electric vehicles; high volatility creates abundant trading opportunities. |
| NVDAx / NVDAUSDT | NVIDIA | Dominant AI chipmaker; the "pick-and-shovel" supplier riding the AI wave. |

Crypto Industry-Linked Stocks
If you’re deeply involved in crypto, these companies with strong industry ties will catch your attention:
- MSTRx: MicroStrategy. The public company with the largest Bitcoin holdings; its stock price closely correlates with BTC, making it a "Bitcoin proxy" in traditional markets.
- COINx: Coinbase. A leading global regulated crypto exchange; its performance directly reflects the health of the crypto market.
Traditional Blue Chips and Pharma Stars
Beyond tech stocks, Gate also offers a range of stable blue chips and standout names in pharmaceuticals:
- JPMUSDT: JPMorgan Chase. U.S. banking giant and macroeconomic bellwether.
- BABAUSDT: Alibaba. China’s tech leader, spanning e-commerce and cloud computing.
- MCDUSDT: McDonald’s. Global fast-food chain leader with strong defensive consumer appeal.
- LLYUSDT: Eli Lilly. Global pharmaceutical giant, repeatedly hitting new highs thanks to blockbuster products like weight-loss drugs.
- ACNUSDT: Accenture. Leading global management consulting and technology services provider.
Note: Gate offers not only spot tokens (typically ending in "x", like TSLAx), but also perpetual contracts for many popular stocks (such as NVDAUSDT and MSFTUSDT), supporting up to 20x leverage for long or short positions—meeting the needs of various risk profiles.
Why Does Smart Money Trade Stock Tokens on Gate?
Now that you know the assets, let’s look at the disruptive advantages of this model:
24/7 Trading—Never Closed
This solves the biggest pain point. When traditional U.S. markets are closed or during holidays, you can still trade on Gate. Whether it’s sharp price swings after earnings or sudden macro events, you can enter or exit positions instantly—no more waiting for the market to open.
Trade Directly with USDT—Maximize Capital Efficiency
No currency conversion, no need for overseas bank accounts. Your USDT balance is the "universal key" to U.S. stocks. Profits from crypto bull markets can be seamlessly hedged into stock tokens to diversify risk, and gains from stock tokens can be switched back to crypto assets anytime to capture the next opportunity.
Fractional Holdings—Ultra-Low Entry Barrier
A single NVIDIA share might cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but with Gate’s Stock Token section, you can start with as little as $10 to buy fractional shares—making "equal access" a reality.
Flexible Multi-Strategy Trading
Shorting individual stocks is tough and expensive with traditional brokers. On Gate, you can buy TSLAx for long-term holding, or open short positions in the contract section to profit from declines.
Spot vs. Perpetual Contracts: Which Should You Choose?
Gate offers two main trading formats for stock tokens, tailored to different needs:
- Stock Spot (xStocks): Ideal for long-term investors. Each token is backed 1:1 by real assets, letting you share in a company’s long-term growth (some tokens may reflect dividends through value appreciation).
- Stock Perpetual Contracts (Stocks Perp): Designed for short-term traders. Leverage amplifies returns and supports two-way trading. Whether the market rises or falls, as long as you get the direction right, there’s profit potential.
Market Validation: Trading Volume Surpasses $14 Billion
Numbers don’t lie. By early 2026, cumulative trading volume in Gate’s Stock Token section had exceeded $14,000,000,000, with monthly volume at times accounting for 89.1% of the global Ondo stock token market share. This proves that traders worldwide are choosing Gate as their default gateway for on-chain U.S. stock assets.
Risk Warning
While enjoying the convenience, please be aware of the differences:
- Rights Distinction: Token holders generally don’t have traditional shareholder voting rights or cash dividends (dividends are reflected through token value adjustments).
- Price Pegging: Although a 1:1 peg is maintained, extreme market conditions or during market closures may cause temporary price deviations, creating arbitrage or volatility risks.
Conclusion
From Tesla to NVIDIA, from Microsoft to Eli Lilly, Gate’s Stock Token section is building a digital asset matrix covering the world’s top companies. It doesn’t replace traditional brokers, but provides crypto-native users with a fast track to participate in global economic growth.
If you want to capture opportunities in both the crypto world and traditional finance with a single account, now might be the perfect time. Open the Gate App, search for your favorite U.S. stock token (like TSLAx or NVDAUSDT), and start your 24/7 global investment journey today.
