Top Performers: Tech Giants Lead, AI Sector Continues to Attract Capital
NVIDIA (NVDAX): AI Chip Leader Maintains Momentum
As of April 13, 2026, Gate’s tokenized NVIDIA stock, NVDAX, was trading at $185, down 0.5% over the past 24 hours, but holding steady at elevated levels. According to CoinMarketCap, NVDAX currently has a circulating supply of 241,200 tokens, with a market cap of $44.22 million.
NVDAX’s strength is driven by the stellar performance of NVIDIA’s underlying stock in the US market. On April 10, NVIDIA’s stock closed up about 1% at $183.94, marking its seventh consecutive day of gains—the longest streak since November 2023. NVIDIA also topped the US stock trading volume charts that day, with $21.115 billion in turnover.
In contract trading, Gate’s NVDAX perpetual contract holds open positions of around 10,400 NVDAX, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1.27 million—leading major trading platforms by a wide margin.
Tesla (TSLAx): High-Liquidity Star Asset
Tesla’s stock token, TSLAx, consistently demonstrates high liquidity. As of April 2026, TSLAx’s total asset value reached about $78 million, with over 20,000 holders. Gate’s market data shows that as of April 13, TSLAx was priced steadily around $345, with daily fluctuations closely tracking Tesla’s traditional market stock price.
Tech Giant Matrix: AAPLx, METAX, and More Remain Active
Beyond the assets above, Apple (AAPLx), Microsoft (MSFTUSDT), Amazon (AMZNx), and other tech giants continue to maintain robust trading volumes. After Meta’s Q1 2026 earnings release, Meta’s stock token, METAX, surged as much as 7% intraday on Gate, highlighting the unique advantage of stock tokens in capturing market opportunities during earnings season.
Recent Major Developments: Three Key Milestones in April
Mantle Network Launches xStocksFi
On April 10, xStocksFi officially launched on the Mantle network, supported by BackedFi and Flowdesk. As one of the first stock tokenization projects to achieve on-chain liquidity, users can now trade major global assets—including TSLAx, NVDAx, AAPLx, METAx, and six other leading US stocks—around the clock via the Fluxion network.
Leveraging institutional-grade infrastructure and dedicated deposit/withdrawal support, Mantle enhances the distribution efficiency of real-world assets (RWA), offering ultra-low trading fees and high-speed execution. According to the official announcement, xStocks’ launch is just the beginning of ecosystem expansion, with more features like xChange and xPoints on the horizon.
Gate Officially Launches Pre-IPO Digital Mechanism
On April 11, Gate officially rolled out its highly anticipated digital Pre-IPO mechanism, hailed as a cutting-edge fusion of crypto and traditional finance. This initiative aims to return early investment rights to retail investors worldwide.
Key features include: converting Pre-IPO company equity into on-chain digital certificates via smart contracts; enabling users to subscribe directly with USDT, lowering the minimum investment threshold from millions of dollars to a level accessible to individual investors; and allowing tokens to be traded in Gate’s PreMarket before the official IPO, enabling price discovery and early entry or exit.
Gate has introduced its first Pre-IPO stock presale contract—SpaceX (SPACEXUSDT)—settled in USDT, supporting 1–10x leverage, with market-based price discovery reflecting SpaceX’s current Pre-IPO valuation.
Major Upgrade to TradFi Products Completed
At the start of 2026, Gate completed a major upgrade to its TradFi (traditional finance) product suite, now fully covering both mobile and web platforms. The core strategy is to build an integrated multi-asset trading system. Users can now trade stock tokens, forex, precious metals, indices, and commodity CFDs (contracts for difference) all on a single platform, further reducing cross-market allocation friction.
Gate’s stock token product line has expanded from the original xStocks to a dual product structure featuring both xStocks and Ondo Stocks. Both use full-collateralization models, maintain a 1:1 peg with real stock prices, and support 24/7 continuous trading.
Market Data: Gate Stock Token Section Continues to Lead
By early 2026, Gate’s stock token section had surpassed $140 billion in cumulative trading volume, with a monthly market share as high as 89.1%—the highest in the industry. From early 2025 through February 2026, cumulative trading volume exceeded $140 billion, with more than 298,000 on-chain addresses globally holding stock tokens.
The Gate xStocks section supports both spot and perpetual contract trading (USDT-settled), offering 1–10x leverage for both long and short positions, catering to investors with varying risk appetites. Unlike traditional stock trading, which only supports one-way positions, Gate’s contract stock section enables two-way trading, allowing profit opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
Conclusion
In April 2026, Gate delivered an impressive performance in the stock token sector: over 30 new stock and ETF perpetual contracts launched, covering tech, defense, consumer, and index sectors; NVDAX price holding above $183, with AI sector momentum still rising; xStocksFi launched on Mantle network, marking a milestone for on-chain liquidity; Pre-IPO digital mechanism officially open, with SpaceX as the first unicorn available for participation.
Meanwhile, Gate’s stock token section has surpassed $140 billion in cumulative trading volume, with a monthly market share of 89.1%, maintaining its industry leadership. Whether you’re a contract trader seeking leveraged opportunities or a spot investor looking to allocate to top global assets for the long term, Gate’s stock token section offers a diverse range of trading options.
