Gate News reports that, according to Gate’s official announcement, Gate has officially launched pre-market and after-hours stock trading functionality. Stock trading hours have been expanded from the original 6.5×5 to 16×5. Users who update the Gate App to version 8.21.5 or above can participate in US stock market pre-market and after-hours trading, covering major US securities trading venues such as NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca.

Gate stocks support users trading with USDT for more than 10,000 US mainstream market stocks and ETFs, including fractional-share trading starting from as low as 0.01 share per trade. With Gate’s unified account system, users do not need to transfer funds between multiple platforms; instead, they can manage digital assets and global securities assets in a single account.

At the same time, Gate stocks have now fully integrated into the platform’s VIP tier system. Users with holdings of $2,000 can be upgraded to VIP, enjoying a special stock trading fee rate as low as 0.023% and 1V1 customer manager services. In addition, Gate has launched the “Million Stocks Airdrop” campaign: users who complete their first trade in the stocks sector will receive a random ANTHROPIC stock reward, with a total prize pool worth up to $1 million.
