[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE ![](https://gimg2.staticimgs.com/image/1_20260114_113707_225d9ba0a03c60abc37e780dae4fec87.png) Gate, a leading global digital asset trading platform, has further expanded its TradFi feature, broadening access to contracts for difference (CFD) covering traditional financial assets, including gold, foreign exchange, stock indices, commodities and popular equities. This feature, available in Gate App, marks Gate's expansion beyond crypto asset trading into traditional finance price-based products, further strengthening its multi-asset trading framework. According to the platform, Gate TradFi contracts use USDx as the margin and account display unit. USDx is neither fiat nor crypto, but an internal accounting unit used specifically for TradFi assets, pegged 1:1 to USDT. After users transfer USDT into their TradFi account, balances are displayed in USDx. The underlying value remains fully backed by USDT, with no manual conversion required and no additional exchange or custody fees incurred. In terms of trading mechanics, Gate TradFi contracts differ notably from crypto perpetual futures contracts. TradFi products follow conventions of the traditional financial market, including fixed trading sessions and market closures. Leverage is set at fixed levels and cannot be adjusted manually by users. Margin operates under a cross-margin model, and long and short positions on the same trading pair can be hedged based on position size. Profit and loss are calculated using counterparty prices, and overnight financing fees apply during market closures, aligning overall rules with those of mainstream CFD markets. In terms of fees and leverage settings, Gate TradFi contracts support leverage of up to 500x for major products such as foreign exchange and indices, while equity CFDs support leverage of up to 5x. Notably, Gate TradFi offers a significant advantage in fees, with per-trade commissions as low as $0.018, providing users with a relatively transparent and controllable trading cost structure. From a system and risk management perspective, Gate TradFi is powered by the MT5 (MetaTrader 5) trading system, with account data and transaction records synchronized between the Gate App and the MT5 client. The platform employs a margin-ratio-based liquidation mechanism. When an account's margin ratio falls to 50% or below, the system will initiate a forced liquidation process, gradually closing relevant positions in accordance with predefined rules to manage overall risk exposure. In addition, Gate has recently introduced a TradFi campaign. Eligible users who register for the program can receive up to 110 USDT in trial rewards and, upon completing qualifying trades, unlock additional phased incentives of up to 3,000 USDT to support their initial TradFi trading experience. The expansion of TradFi broadens Gate's trading ecosystem into traditional financial asset price trading, providing users with more options for multi-asset price discovery, risk hedging, and trading decisions within a single platform. To some extent, this product structure simplifies cross-platform operations and reflects a broader trend of crypto trading platforms adopting more mature financial market rules in product design and risk management. As the boundaries between crypto markets and traditional financial markets continue to blur, demand for multi-asset and cross-market trading is expected to grow further. The introduction of Gate TradFi marks a key step in the platform's exploration of integrated trading infrastructure and offers a new practical reference to incorporate different asset classes within a compliant framework. ### About Gate Gate, founded in 2013 by Dr. Han, is one of the world's earliest cryptocurrency exchanges.
