Gate has rolled out Gate Stocks, a global tokenized-equities product giving users direct ownership of US, Hong Kong, and Korean stocks through licensed brokers, including dividend eligibility and the broader shareholder rights that come with it. The launch extends an existing footprint that already ranks Gate among the centralised exchanges with the deepest tokenized-equity order books.
Why it matters
Tokenized equities are one of the fastest-growing slices of the real-world-asset (RWA) narrative, and Gate is leaning into the segment while most CEXs still treat stocks as a side product. Folding in dividend rights, not just price exposure, is the structural piece: it turns the token from a synthetic price feed into a claim on the underlying share, which is what institutional desks have been waiting for before allocating size.
Market impact
The product is settled through licensed brokers, putting Gate closer to a regulated intermediated model than a purely offshore synthetic-stock venue. For users, the draw is single-account access to three of the world's deepest equity pools without a traditional brokerage onboarding flow. For competitors, the bar on what counts as a tokenized-equities offering just moved: price exposure alone is no longer the differentiator.
