Gate Introduces Fee-Free Stock Transfers To Strengthen Global Equities And Multi-Asset Trading Ecosystem
In Brief
Gate has launched fee-free stock transfers for U.S. and Hong Kong equities, expanding its global multi-asset trading and portfolio management platform.
Cryptocurrency exchange Gate has introduced Stock Transfer-In and Stock Transfer-Out services, allowing users to transfer eligible U.S. and Hong Kong-listed equities between Gate and external brokerage accounts. The new functionality expands the platform’s equities offering and provides investors with additional flexibility in managing stock portfolios across multiple brokers.
According to the company, the transfer service does not charge fees for inbound or outbound stock transfers. Transactions are completed using the Free of Payment (FOP) settlement method. U.S. equity transfers are processed through the Depository Trust Company system, while Hong Kong-listed securities are transferred through the Central Clearing and Settlement System. The company said transfers generally require between three and 15 business days, depending on the processing times of the participating brokerages and settlement procedures.
The transfer feature is accessible through the Gate mobile application, where users can submit requests for either U.S. or Hong Kong-listed securities after providing the required brokerage and share information. Users transferring assets into Gate must first initiate the transfer with their existing brokerage, while outbound transfers require details of the receiving brokerage. The platform also includes a transfer tracking function that displays the status of each request. Gate said the feature is being introduced gradually to users through a phased rollout.
In order to encourage adoption of the new service, the company has launched a promotional campaign running from July 1 to July 7, 2026. During the offer period, users who successfully transfer U.S. or Hong Kong-listed equities valued at 3,000 USDT or more may apply for reimbursement of eligible transfer fees by submitting proof of charges paid to their previous brokerage. The campaign also includes temporary VIP status upgrades. According to Gate, reimbursement of transfer fees is available for up to 15,000 USDT on U.S. stock transfers and up to 6,000 USDT on Hong Kong stock transfers, with the final subsidy determined by the actual fees incurred and the applicable reward tier.
Expanding Multi-Asset Investment Services
The launch forms part of Gate’s broader expansion into global equity trading. The company previously introduced USDT-denominated trading for more than 10,000 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds listed across major U.S. exchanges and liquidity venues, including the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American and BATS. The platform also supports more than 1,500 Hong Kong-listed securities and over 1,000 South Korean stocks, providing access to more than 12,500 global equities and ETFs.
Gate also offers extended trading hours for U.S., Hong Kong and South Korean equities, including overnight and weekend sessions in addition to regular market, pre-market and after-hours trading. Fractional share investing is available from 0.01 share, allowing users to purchase portions of higher-priced stocks.
According to the company, the stock trading service is integrated into Gate’s unified account system, enabling users to manage digital assets and traditional financial instruments within a single account. The platform’s VIP program also extends to equity trading, with users holding at least $2,000 in stocks eligible for VIP status, providing access to reduced trading fees and dedicated account management services.
Gate said the addition of stock transfer services further expands its multi-asset investment ecosystem by combining equity trading, portfolio management and cross-broker asset transfers within a single platform. The company stated that it plans to continue expanding its international market coverage and develop additional multi-asset trading and wealth management services.
