Gate announces the official launch of its stock trading service for South Korea, further expanding its global footprint. Users can now directly use USDT to participate in stock trading listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX), without needing to open a traditional Korean brokerage account or exchange for Korean won, making it easy to access the South Korean capital market. After this launch, stocks in Korea will share a unified stock account system and trading capabilities with US stocks and Hong Kong stocks, allowing users to complete buying and selling transactions, position management, profit and loss inquiries, and record viewing all on the same platform, achieving one-stop configuration and management of digital assets and global securities.

In its first phase, Gate will launch stocks from the Korea Exchange (KRX) that are ranked in the top 1,000 by market capitalization, covering leading high-market-cap and high-liquidity quality companies on the KOSPI main board and KOSDAQ market. The initial list of popular targets includes Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, NAVER, Hyundai Motor, and Celltrion, among others. As one of Asia's key capital markets, the South Korean stock market gathers many globally renowned technology, manufacturing, consumer electronics, and internet companies, and has a number of internationally influential listed companies in fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, new energy vehicles, and advanced manufacturing. Gate will continue to expand the range of tradable targets based on market capitalization, liquidity, and market demand, providing users with richer global asset allocation choices.

Compared to traditional cross-border securities investment processes, Gate’s South Korea stock service further simplifies the process for users to participate in the global capital market. Users only need to transfer USDT to their stock account to complete transactions during Korean stock trading hours, without needing to open a local securities account or handle complex processes like currency exchange. Korean stock trading hours will align with the Korea Exchange's regular trading session, currently supporting continuous bidding during market hours; users can buy and sell from 09:00 to 15:20 Korean time. Additionally, stock prices, market capitalizations, and profit and loss will be displayed in Korean won (KRW), while trading fees and fund settlements will be converted from real-time exchange rates into USDT for deductions and settlements, providing users with a more intuitive and convenient trading experience.

With the launch of Korean stocks, Gate's stock section has formed a global stock product system covering the three main markets of US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks. Currently, Gate supports over 10,000 mainstream US market stocks and ETFs, covering major US securities trading markets and liquidity networks, including NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS. Meanwhile, Gate has innovatively launched trading services for Hong Kong stocks, now listing over 1,500 Hong Kong stock targets, covering high-market-cap and high-liquidity quality listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's main and GEM boards. After the launch of Korean stocks, Gate's global stock market layout is further strengthened, achieving deep coverage of major global securities markets and key Asian capital markets, providing users with a more convenient one-stop global asset allocation experience.

Leveraging a unified account framework, users can directly participate in global stock investments using USDT and support fractional trading starting from as low as 0.01 shares, further lowering the threshold for cross-border investment. Additionally, Gate’s stock products have fully integrated into the platform's VIP tier system; users only need to hold $2,000 to upgrade to VIP status, enjoying a minimum exclusive trading fee of 0.023% and one-on-one customer manager services, further enhancing the professional investment experience.

The launch of Korean stocks is an important step for Gate in continuously promoting the integration of traditional finance and digital assets. As global investors' demand for cross-market and multi-asset allocation continues to grow, the platform is continuously expanding its coverage of global securities markets, while continuously enhancing product capabilities and user experience. In the future, Gate will continue to enrich its global stock product matrix, expand into more international markets and quality asset categories, and further open up the connection channels between digital assets and traditional financial markets, helping global users participate in the global capital market with lower thresholds and higher efficiency, achieving more diversified asset allocation and long-term value investment.
