What is the xStocks section?

xStocks is a new stock token contract zone recently launched by Gate. Its core concept is to tokenize popular stocks from the real world (such as Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.) and provide perpetual contract trading functionality in a blockchain environment. Users can trade these stock token contracts directly with USDT, eliminating cumbersome procedures and geographical restrictions.

These stock tokens are supported by third-party institutions (such as Backed Finance), reference the real price trends of the corresponding stocks, and ensure synchronization with market dynamics through contract mechanisms.

Why choose xStocks?

1. Participate in global star stock trends without holding shares: Users can engage in price fluctuations of stocks like Apple and Tesla through trading contracts without needing a traditional brokerage account or actual holdings.
2. Support for both long and short positions, allowing profits from both sides of the market: Whether in a bull market or a downtrend, users can choose to go long or short, flexibly capturing opportunities from market fluctuations.
3. Flexible leverage enhances capital efficiency: xStocks contracts support 1–10 times leverage, suitable for different trading styles, helping to achieve higher profit potential.
4. Settled in USDT, convenient and fast: All transactions are settled in the stablecoin USDT, eliminating the need for complicated currency exchanges and simplifying the fund management process.

To participate in the xStocks area, users only need three steps:
