Gate Research Institute: The Perpetualization of TradFi Assets, Gate's Macro Perpetual Contract Constructs a Systematic Overlay Advantage

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.
