According to Odaily, Gate has officially announced a strategic partnership with brokerage infrastructure provider Alpaca, with plans to soon offer stock and ETF trading services to its users. This move aims to bridge the investment gap between digital assets and traditional financial markets, enabling users to manage a diverse range of assets within a single account. Leveraging Gate's deep expertise in the global digital asset ecosystem and Alpaca's brokerage infrastructure and market access capabilities, the two parties will jointly build a convenient and efficient multi-asset investment platform.
Over 10,000 US Stocks and Fractional Shares
Under the partnership, Gate will introduce trading products covering major US securities markets, offering over 10,000 stocks and ETFs listed on top exchanges including the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, encompassing a wide array of globally recognized companies and high-growth potential firms. Notably, the platform will support fractional share trading starting from as little as $1, meaning investors with limited capital can still participate in global blue-chip investments. This significantly lowers the entry barrier and provides a more flexible solution for diversified global asset allocation.
Dr. Han: A New Gateway in the Era of Financial Convergence
Gate's founder and CEO Dr. Han commented on the partnership, stating that the financial system is evolving toward greater integration and interconnection, with links between digital assets and traditional financial markets strengthening continuously. He noted that, driven by this trend, user demand for efficient access to diversified investment opportunities continues to rise.
Dr. Han further emphasized that through the collaboration with Alpaca, Gate will provide users with seamless access to real stock market investing while maintaining the convenience and efficiency users have come to expect from a digital asset platform. He believes that a multi-asset investment gateway will become a critical component of the next generation of global financial services.
Looking ahead, Gate and Alpaca will continue to explore new models for connecting digital assets and traditional finance, constantly refining product experiences, and enhancing global market access. Together, they aim to foster an increasingly open, efficient, and interconnected multi-asset investment ecosystem, creating greater value for global investors.
