Gate launches TradFi CFD trading: one-stop trading for gold, forex, and stocks, with up to 500x leverage
【ChainWen】The Gate trading platform has recently upgraded its product matrix, officially opening the door for users to trade traditional financial assets. Now you can directly trade gold, forex, commodity indices, and some popular stocks via CFDs (Contracts for Difference) on Gate, without switching between multiple platforms.
There are several highlights of this TradFi feature worth noting. First is the account system design — the platform uses USDx as the margin unit, pegged 1:1 with USDT. After depositing USDT, you can trade directly with no conversion fees or additional costs; transfers are instant.
In terms of leverage configuration, forex and index products support up to 500x leverage, while stock CFDs offer 5x leverage. This means you can participate in large positions with a small amount of capital. The trading fees are highly competitive, at only $0.018 per order. The account uses a full-warehouse management mode, and multiple long and short positions on the same trading pair can be automatically hedged, offering good flexibility.
The technical foundation is based on the industry-standard MT5 trading system, with a clear risk control mechanism — when the account margin ratio drops to 50% or below, a forced liquidation is automatically triggered to protect both parties’ interests. The entire product follows the trading rules of traditional financial markets, with fixed trading hours, and users interested in participating in TradFi trading can now experience it.
