#gStocks代币化股票上线 Digital asset trading platform Gate officially launched gStocks tokenized securities service on July 3. The service is backed by 1:1 fully collateralized underlying stocks, with the first batch of 15 trading pairs covering popular targets such as Micron, AMD, SanDisk, and SpaceX.
This event marks another milestone in the integration of the crypto world with traditional capital markets. From a product design perspective, gStocks achieves two major breakthroughs: in terms of time, it supports 7×24 uninterrupted trading, completely breaking the time limits of traditional markets such as US stocks and Hong Kong stocks; in terms of participation threshold, it supports a minimum investment of 1 USDT and fractional share trading, allowing small funds to participate in global high-quality asset allocation. In addition, tokenized securities can also be used as collateral for leveraged lending or access to wealth management products.
From an industry landscape perspective, gStocks is not an isolated case. The neighboring platform bStocks has seen its assets under management exceed $100 million within just 15 days of launch; Robinhood has expanded tokenized stock trading to over 120 countries; Securitize has also tokenized $295 million in NYSE-listed stocks on Solana and Avalanche. The collective influx of leading players indicates that tokenized stocks have moved from proof-of-concept to a scale-up phase—as of March 2026, the on-chain value of tokenized RWAs has surpassed $27 billion.
But beneath the prosperity lie hidden concerns. On the regulatory front, the U.S. SEC is drafting an innovative exemption framework that would allow third-party tokenized stocks, but this could also trigger "dual fragmentation" for traditional exchanges—capital dispersing from centralized exchanges to multiple blockchain platforms. The DTCC has announced that it will launch a securities tokenization pilot in July 2026, and the pace of regulatory framework implementation will directly impact the direction of this track.
The launch of gStocks is a key move in Gate's layout of the RWA track. It further blurs the boundary between on-chain assets and traditional stock markets—investors no longer need to switch back and forth between crypto accounts and brokerage accounts, and can configure digital assets and global stocks in one stop. As the walls between "Wall Street" and "on-chain" are torn down one by one, a more open and efficient new global investment ecosystem is taking shape.
