Gate Update: From Brokerage Infrastructure To NBA Finals — Gate Expands Across Markets
In Brief
Gate partners with Alpaca to launch US stock trading, ETH staking hits record highs, US indices reach all-time peaks, and new competitions offer millions in rewards.
The biggest story this week is structural rather than statistical. Gate has announced a formal partnership with Alpaca, a leading brokerage infrastructure provider, to power its stock and ETF trading service — giving more than 10,000 US-listed securities a proper institutional backbone accessible via USDT with fractional share trading from as little as $1. Gate’s CEO framed it plainly: the boundaries between digital and traditional finance are dissolving, and multi-asset access will define the next generation of global financial services. That vision is already playing out in the numbers.
On June 2, all three major US indices simultaneously hit all-time closing highs — the Dow above 51,000, the Nasdaq above 27,000, the S&P 500 above 7,500 — and Gate’s futures desk captured a meaningful share of the resulting activity. NVIDIA surged 4.92% after announcing its RTX Spark superchip, with Gate’s NVDAX 24-hour trading volume jumping 153% to $7.92 million. Marvell Technology posted an extraordinary 47% single-day gain, and Gate’s MRVL futures volume rose 1,255% to $10.44 million.
In order to support growing user interest in US equity markets, Gate Live is hosting a dedicated US Stock Investment Week series of themed live streams, with sessions on June 2 and June 3 covering account setup, trading mechanics, and investment strategy — with lucky draws and stock airdrop rewards for participants. Here is a look at the rest of what Gate has shared over the past few days.
Korean Giants Join the Stock Futures Lineup
Gate continued expanding its stock futures roster with the June 2 launch of perpetual futures for three major Korean corporates: SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor Company — all USDT-margined with up to 20x leverage. Apple and Meta contract open interest on Gate also hit first-place rankings globally, at $1.16 million and $1.20 million respectively, according to CoinGlass data.
Metals and Oil Hold Strong Positioning
Precious metals saw some volatility on June 3 as a crude oil rally triggered capital rotation, with gold slipping 0.25% to $4,486.96 and silver down 0.42% to $75.10. Despite the pullback, Gate’s XAU futures open interest stood at $137 million and XAG at $45.69 million, both ranking second globally. Oil markets meanwhile extended their rally — WTI crude touched a 24-hour high of $95.93 and Brent reached $98.15, with Gate’s CLUSDT open interest climbing to $10.11 million, maintaining a leading industry position.
ETH Futures and Staking Both Break Records
Ethereum had a strong few days on multiple fronts. ETH futures trading volume across the network surged 62.73% in 24 hours to $47.54 billion, with Gate contributing $5.67 billion — ranking third among all exchanges. On the staking side, Gate’s ETH staking product first broke records at 194,600 ETH with a reference APR of 4.53%, then surpassed that milestone the following day, reaching 195,700 ETH at 4.15% APR — two consecutive all-time highs. Instant redemption is supported via GTETH, with other staking options including SOL at 8.50% APR, USDT at 4.62%, and BTC at 2.67%. Gate Polymarket data adds context to the ETH sentiment: the probability of ETH trading above $1,800 on June 3 was priced at 93%, though the market assigned only 1% odds to a break above $2,000.
Institutional Momentum: Money20/20 and Gate Ventures
Gate Europe hosted the Capital Social networking event at Money20/20 Europe on June 2, drawing more than 150 professionals from payments, OTC, institutional trading, and fintech. On the research side, Gate Ventures’ weekly report highlighted asset tokenization and institutional adoption as dominant themes: Stellar’s DTCC collaboration drove XLM up 83% in a week, Paxos became the first crypto-native company to obtain SEC clearing agency registration, and seven funding deals totaling $521 million closed — including Samsung’s $408 million investment in Dunamu.
Copy Trading Grows, New Competitions Launch
Gate’s futures copy trading ecosystem posted 82% month-over-month growth in average daily copy trading volume in May, with a new Smart Filter feature now helping users identify lead traders with consistent profitability. Gate also launched the Lead Trader Recruitment Program Phase 4 and the Star Traders Challenge, together offering a 59,000 USDT prize pool through June 30. On the Alpha side, the TLS Deposit & Trading Competition launched with a 15,000,000 TLS prize pool, while Hot Token Trading Competition Phase 41 offers $60,000 in airdrop rewards through a tiered mystery box structure.
GUSD Triple Yield, NBA Finals, and the Crazy Wednesday Event
For yield-focused users, Gate Launchpool’s GUSD pool is running a triple-yield model — combining CTR Launchpool rewards at 7.10% APR, a 3% minting yield, and a new-user bonus of up to 100% APR, running until June 16. Gate also launched the Crazy Wednesday Gold Feast promotion (June 3–7), featuring a 50 USDT trial fund for sign-ups, mystery boxes with prizes including a Rolex 18K Gold Watch and gold coins, and earn products with APRs reaching up to 200%. Finally, Gate Polymarket is tracking the NBA Finals opener, with the Knicks holding a 64% win probability against the Spurs as market participation continues to climb.
