Gate Stocks Introduces Korean Stock Trading, Expanding Global Multi-Asset Investment Access
In Brief
Gate launches Korean stock trading services, allowing users to access KRX-listed equities with USDT and expanding its unified global investment platform.
Cryptocurrency exchange Gate introduced Korean stock trading services, expanding its global securities offering by enabling users to access shares listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX) using USDT. The service allows users to trade Korean equities without opening a traditional local brokerage account or converting funds into Korean won.
Following the launch, Korean equities will be integrated into Gate’s unified stock account system alongside US and Hong Kong stocks. Users will be able to trade securities, monitor holdings, review performance, and manage transaction records through a single platform, combining digital asset management with global stock investment.
In the initial rollout, Gate will support trading for the top 1,000 KRX-listed companies by market capitalization, covering major stocks from both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets. The first group of available companies includes Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, NAVER, Hyundai Motor, and Celltrion. The platform plans to expand its supported stock selection based on factors including market capitalization, liquidity, and user demand.
Compared with traditional cross-border investment procedures, Gate’s Korean stock service is designed to simplify access to the market. Users can transfer USDT into their stock accounts and begin trading during Korea Exchange market hours without requiring additional brokerage accounts or currency conversion. Trading currently supports continuous auction orders during regular market hours, with users able to place buy and sell orders between 09:00 and 15:20 Korea Standard Time.
Market data, including stock prices, market capitalization, and profit-and-loss information, will be displayed in Korean won, while trading fees and settlement values will be calculated and processed in USDT using real-time exchange rates.
Gate Expands Global Equity Access Through Unified Trading Infrastructure
With the addition of Korean stocks, Gate’s stock offering now covers three major markets: the United States, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The platform currently provides access to more than 10,000 US stocks and ETFs across major exchanges and liquidity networks, including NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS. It also supports more than 1,500 Hong Kong-listed securities across the Main Board and GEM markets.
The expansion strengthens Gate’s coverage of major global equity markets and provides users with broader access to international investment opportunities through a single account structure.
Gate also supports fractional share trading, allowing users to invest with a minimum purchase size of 0.01 shares. In addition, Korean stock trading is integrated into Gate’s VIP program, enabling eligible users with holdings of $2,000 or more to access enhanced services, including stock trading fees starting from 0.023% and dedicated account management support.
The launch of Korean stock trading represents another step in Gate’s efforts to connect digital assets with traditional financial markets. As demand for multi-asset and cross-market investment solutions continues to increase, the platform said it will continue expanding its global securities offerings and developing additional investment products to provide broader access to international markets.
