Gate Research Institute released a report titled "TradFi Asset Perpetualization: The Systematic Overlay Advantages of Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts," which points out that against the backdrop of intensified macro volatility and enhanced cross-market linkage in 2026, the demand from crypto traders for macro risk tools that are priced in stablecoins, composable, and executable 24/7 has significantly increased. Therefore, Gate has split macro trading into two complementary paths: on one hand, providing a professional trading entry closer to traditional market rules through Gate TradFi (MT5+CFD); on the other hand, launching macro perpetual contracts settled in USDT, allowing macro assets such as stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities to be directly included in a unified margin and risk control system of the contract account.The report shows that Gate has covered hundreds of macro perpetual assets across five categories: stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities. At the mechanism level, the platform handles pricing continuity during market closures through the Price-Hold mechanism and supports parallel long and short positions in the same market under a split account model, as well as mixed positions of full and isolated margin and independent leverage configuration for isolated long and short positions, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, event-driven rebalancing, and strategy reuse.

The multi-leverage structure continues to maintain the advantages of high-efficiency trading while providing a more flexible parameter space for diversified strategy execution.At the same time, the platform continues to adopt a unified account system, allowing users to trade digital assets and traditional financial products such as metals, foreign exchange, and indices under the same account, using USDT as the unified margin asset to achieve cross-market capital sharing and flexible allocation.The launch of the TradFi trading API creates a closer synergy between programmatic trading capabilities and the multi-leverage mechanism. The automated interface significantly enhances strategy execution efficiency and systematic management levels, while the multi-leverage structure provides more refined options for strategies with different risk preferences and trading cycles.Currently, Gate has established a multi-asset trading system covering digital asset spot, derivatives, and traditional financial products.
