Gate Q2 report says users topped 58 million as stock offerings passed 12,500 assets

Gate released its report for the second quarter of 2026, outlining growth across trading scale, product breadth, and multi-asset services. Citing data from multiple authoritative institutions, the company said its spot liquidity and trading volume ranked second globally, while its derivatives business remained in the industry’s top three. It also said its open interest market share ranked among the global top three. The report focused heavily on Gate’s expansion beyond crypto. The platform said it has officially launched stock trading with a 7×24 system covering U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean equities. It supports fractional share trading, stock dividends, broker-to-broker position transfers, and corporate action handling such as stock splits and reverse splits. By the end of the quarter, Gate said registered users had surpassed 58 million, with access to more than 4,800 digital assets and over 12,500 stock assets. Gate also disclosed progress in pre-listing and structured products. Its SpaceX (SPCX) Pre-IPOs project had attracted more than $396 million in cumulative subscriptions, while direct-to-IPO subscriptions exceeded $143 million. The company added that its CFD lineup had expanded to 663 tradable assets and that quarterly ETF trading volume came close to $60 billion, up more than 40% from the prior quarter. The report also mentioned the launch of Gate Wealth and an upgraded Gate.AI architecture connected to more than 200 major large language models.

Korean retail traders pile back into leveraged CFDs as positions reach 3.3 trillion won

South Korean retail investors are building up leveraged contracts for difference, or CFDs, again, pushing total outstanding positions to about 3.3 trillion won, roughly $2.2 billion, as of July 21, according to data from the Korea Financial Investment Association. The figure was up by nearly two-thirds from a year earlier. SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics drew the heaviest retail positioning. Over the past year, CFD positions tied to SK Hynix jumped nearly 2,500% to 235 billion won, while Samsung Electronics-related CFD holdings expanded to about 217 billion won, five times their earlier level. Analysts said the structure of CFDs can amplify swings because investors gain full market exposure while posting only about 40% margin and do not actually own the underlying shares. If falling prices trigger margin calls, spot shares held by banks for hedging may be sold at the same time. The market is also watching the combined effect of CFDs, margin lending and leveraged ETFs, which could feed forced liquidations during a correction. A 2023 retail CFD blowup in South Korea, which led to consecutive limit-down moves in multiple stocks and prompted regulatory action, has returned to focus.

Gate opens OpenAI Pre-IPO subscription and expands its global stock trading stack

Gate has launched the second phase of its Pre-IPO offering for OpenAI, giving crypto-native users a way to subscribe to stock-linked tokens tied to the private company before any public listing. According to the details cited in the article, the offering values OpenAI at an implied $895 billion, targets $20 million in total subscriptions, and issues 27,700 OPENAI tokens at $722 each. Users can participate with either USDT or GUSD, with a minimum subscription of $100 and a cap of 277 OPENAI per user. The allocation model is based on hourly average locked balance, giving more weight to users who join earlier and lock funds longer. The article says subscriptions had already exceeded $226 million by press time. Gate describes OPENAI as a Mirror Note rather than a traditional stock, designed to track OpenAI’s market value before and after a future IPO. After the subscription closes, tokens will unlock in three phases. The platform plans to open 24/7 pre-market trading in its Pre-IPOs section on July 20, while a separate exit page is scheduled for the post-lockup period, defined in the article as six months after listing. Beyond the OpenAI sale, the piece presents Gate’s broader stock product lineup, including direct stock access, tokenized equities, CFDs, and stock perpetuals covering U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean markets.

Gate rolls out yield feature for stock and CFD account balances

Gate said it has launched a yield-generating feature for stock and CFD account balances, describing itself as the first platform in the market to let eligible assets in those trading accounts earn returns automatically. Under the feature, idle USDT in stock accounts and USDx in CFD accounts can accrue yield while users continue trading stocks, participating in IPO subscriptions, or trading CFDs. The platform said the product uses a tiered rate structure based on the USDT balance in stock accounts and the USDx balance in CFD accounts, with a reference annualized yield of as much as 3.00%. Yields for the two account types are calculated separately. A single account becomes eligible once its balance exceeds 1,000 USDT or USDx, while the actual rate shown on the page may change under platform rules and market conditions. Gate added that users do not need to stake or lock assets to use the service. Eligible balances are measured through daily position snapshots, and rewards are distributed each day to spot accounts. The company also used the announcement to highlight its broader TradFi offering, including 24/7 access to U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean equities, as well as CFD products tied to metals, stocks, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities.
