A New Era for Blockchain-Powered Stocks

Historically, traditional stock investing has been constrained by location, trading hours, and cumbersome procedures. Now, Web3 technology is fundamentally transforming traditional stock investing. Gate’s xStocks section introduces a groundbreaking on-chain trading model, making stock investing more direct, flexible, and decentralized.

24/7 Trading and Multiple Modes

xStocks offers two primary trading modes designed to suit both conservative spot traders and investors with different strategies. Users can select the trading mode that fits their approach. Advanced traders can switch to Alpha Mode, unlocking professional trading interfaces, advanced technical analysis tools, and risk control modules to monitor the market in real time.
