The new section of trading xStocks on Gate marks a turning point in the world of financial assets thanks to the tokenization of stocks and a global, continuous, and regulated access. The partnership between Gate and xStocks, innovative and compliant with regulations, indeed opens the doors to a transformative investment experience, capable of connecting traditional stock exchanges with the blockchain universe.
The birth of xStocks on Gate: a new way to invest
Gate has officially announced the launch of the xStocks trading section, which offers both spot trading and perpetual futures, with settlement in USDT and a flexible leverage from 1x to 10x. This debut represents the result of the strategic collaboration between Gate and xStocks, with the aim of enabling the trading of tokens that represent real stocks. The platform allows users worldwide to directly access stock markets through the blockchain, eliminating geographical and time barriers.
In the first phase, the section offers eight main trading pairs: COINX, NVDAX, CRCLX, AAPLX, METAX, HOODX, TSLAX, GOOGLX. Meanwhile, the Alpha xStocks feature supports six of the main pairs for an effective and dynamic on-chain trading experience, accessible 24/7.
Tokenization and transparency: the keys to the xStocks model
The heart of the proposta xStocks consists in the tokenization of real financial assets: each token indeed represents a share of a publicly listed stock and enjoys full backing. This means that each token is truly covered by stock securities and can be transferred and traded completely transparently on the blockchain.
This model, compliant with regulations and fully integrated on blockchain and interoperable ecosystems, stands out radically from traditional brokers. Investors have the opportunity to trade fractions of shares, make instant transfers, and manage their positions by leveraging the efficiency and security of distributed technology.
Global trading and accessibility: the future of capital
The peculiarity of trading xStocks lies in universal accessibility. Until today, access to stock markets required intermediaries, binding hours, and fiat currencies. Now, thanks to xStocks, anyone can trade tokens representing stocks continuously, simply by having USDT, the popular stablecoin pegged to the dollar.
Trading 24/7, the ability to buy and sell fractions of shares, and the freedom of on-chain transfer represent radical innovations, allowing global users to invest without time or territorial constraints. Assets can be moved between different blockchain ecosystems, increasing liquidity and significantly reducing settlement times and fees.
Spot and Perpetual Futures: instruments for every investor
The trading xStocks section on Gate supports both spot trading, typical of classic instruments, and futures perpetual. The latter allows for the use of a variable financial leverage from 1x to 10x, both in a long position (betting on the rise) and short (betting on the fall). The investor can select the desired leverage at the time of order creation, adapting their strategy to market conditions.
- Futures perpetual: maintain the position open without expiration, with settlement in USDT.
- Trading spot: allows you to buy and sell xStocks tokens instantly at the current price.
- Choice between eight main exchange pairs and customized quotation times for each token.
The details of schedules, leverage, and deposit and trading addresses are available for each token on the platform, providing maximum transparency and traceability of operations.
Alpha xStocks: the frontier of on-chain trading
No less important is the presence of Alpha xStocks, the on-chain trading channel that further expands the investment landscape. Currently, Alpha xStocks includes six main trading pairs, offering the possibility to intervene in a secure and convenient way through smart contracts. This system ensures efficiency, speed, and reduced costs, paving the way for increasingly decentralized systems.
Users can thus access dedicated addresses for deposits, spot trading, and futures, available via app and web, and take advantage of the native integration with multiple blockchains and ecosystems, increasing flexibility in managing their digital assets.
Backed Finance and the vision of the new decentralized finance
The xStocks project originates from Backed Finance, a company committed to creating blockchain-native equity investment tools. The mission is clear: to redefine the capital market through transparency, efficiency, and accessibility, offering tokens that are guaranteed and truly representative of listed stocks.
Thanks to the integration between traditional finance and the world of cryptocurrencies, xStocks aims to connect two historically separate universes.

The native integration on blockchain, the complete transparency on the guarantee of assets, and the simplicity of access open up new perspectives for both traditional investors and new generations of digital traders.
