[PRESS RELEASE – Cayman Islands, British Overseas Territories, June 3rd, 2026]
Gate has announced a strategic partnership with Alpaca to expand eligible users’ access to real stock trading. This collaboration advances Gate’s mission to bridge digital assets and traditional financial markets, delivering a unified multi-asset trading experience.
With the upcoming launch, Gate users will be able to trade more than 10,000 stocks and ETFs listed on major U.S. exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq. The offering will support fractional share trading with a minimum purchase of $1. Using Gate’s unified account system, users will be able to trade stocks and ETFs using USDT, creating a smoother connection between digital assets and traditional market access.
Expanding Access to Traditional Financial Markets
Founded in 2013, Gate has developed into a leading cryptocurrency and integrated financial services platform, serving more than 54 million users worldwide. The upcoming stock trading service aligns with Gate’s long-term strategy to create a unified, multi-asset platform that links digital and traditional financial markets.
Accessing global equity markets traditionally requires separate brokerage accounts, time-consuming onboarding, and managing funds across multiple platforms. To simplify this, Gate has expanded beyond core digital asset services to build a broader financial ecosystem. The forthcoming stock trading functionality is a significant step toward offering multiple asset classes through a single platform and account.
Gate’s stock offering will give users access to regulated market infrastructure for real stock and ETF trading while preserving the familiar experience of a crypto-native platform.
Powered by Alpaca’s Brokerage Infrastructure
Gate chose Alpaca as its infrastructure partner for Alpaca’s regulated, self-clearing brokerage framework, API-first architecture, and proven experience supporting financial platforms globally. As the clearing broker partner, Alpaca will handle execution, clearing, settlement, custody, dividend payments, and corporate actions.
This integration allows Gate to expand stock trading services efficiently while maintaining a seamless user experience. By leveraging Alpaca’s infrastructure, Gate will offer eligible users access to a wide range of U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs and continue strengthening its position as a multi-asset trading platform.
A Shared Vision for Financial Accessibility
“The future of finance is becoming increasingly interconnected. As the boundaries between digital assets and traditional financial markets continue to evolve, users seek more efficient ways to access a broader range of investment opportunities. Our partnership with Alpaca will help advance that vision by providing seamless access to real stock market investing while maintaining the simplicity and efficiency users expect from a modern digital asset platform. We believe multi-asset access will play an increasingly important role in the next generation of global financial services,” said Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate.
Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca, added: “At Alpaca, our mission is to open financial services to everyone through modern infrastructure. We are pleased to partner with Gate as it expands access to the U.S. stock market and builds a more comprehensive financial ecosystem for users worldwide. Together, we are helping create a more connected and efficient global investment experience.”
Advancing Gate’s Multi-Asset Strategy
The alliance with Alpaca supports Gate’s broader strategy to unify digital assets and traditional financial markets. Alongside support for more than 10,000 stock assets, Gate continues to expand its TradFi offerings across equities, indices, commodities, metals, and foreign exchange, giving users additional avenues for cross-market participation and portfolio diversification.
As the convergence of crypto and traditional finance accelerates, Gate remains focused on widening market access, improving capital efficiency, and delivering a seamless multi-asset investing experience to users globally.
