Cryptocurrency exchange Gate has expanded its derivatives market, launching eight new tokenized stock perpetual futures contracts based on major US-listed companies. According to the exchange, these products are traded on the USDT-margined futures platform, allowing investors to take positions on stock price movements without owning the underlying shares directly.
New contracts launched for eight US companies
Gate announced that perpetual futures contracts tied to Comfort Systems USA, Southern Company, The TJX Companies, T Mobile US, Microchip Technology, Boston Scientific, ConocoPhillips, and Capital One Financial became available for trading on June 24. The new offerings allow both long and short positions, with leverage available from 1x up to 20x.
With these new contracts, Gate highlighted that investors can access the price movements of leading US companies through a USDT-margined perpetual futures structure, without the need to hold the underlying stocks themselves.
These additions mark an expansion in Gate’s lineup of tokenized stock derivatives. The structure is particularly appealing to crypto-centric traders, as it enables access to companies from sectors like telecommunications, energy, banking, healthcare, semiconductors, retail, and industrial services using a unified derivatives infrastructure.
Broader access to traditional markets targeted
Among the listed firms are major US telecom provider T Mobile US, global energy producer ConocoPhillips, medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific, and consumer banking giant Capital One Financial. Through these listings, Gate aims to provide its crypto trading community with broader visibility and access to traditional financial markets.
Glossary: A perpetual futures contract is a derivative instrument that, unlike traditional futures, does not expire at a set date. These contracts typically use a funding rate mechanism, adjusted at intervals, to minimize price divergence from the spot market.
The exchange stated that funding rates, leverage limits, maintenance margin, and risk control settings may be updated in accordance with market conditions, in order to help manage volatility and trading risks.
Reserve ratio and additional product details shared
The launch of these new products follows the release of Gate’s latest proof-of-reserves report. As of June 22, the platform’s overall reserve ratio stood at 115%, indicating that assets held by the exchange exceed customer liabilities—a figure well above the industry benchmark of 100% often used to assess user fund backing.
Gate also recently introduced the ARXUSDT perpetual futures contract on its USDT-margined derivatives platform. Like the new stock-linked contracts, this product supports both long and short strategies and offers leverage of up to 20x.
With these moves, the exchange continues to broaden its derivatives suite, backing both crypto assets and tokenized traditional market products on a single infrastructure. The latest listings are part of a product strategy aimed at investors seeking diversified exposure and one-stop-platform convenience for positions across different markets.
