Gates is having a busy week. The exchange recently launched stock copy trading for 12,500 instruments, signed a strategic security partnership with BitGo in the US market, and released a mid-year asset management report showing resilient AUM amid a difficult first half for cryptocurrencies. These developments point to a platform that simultaneously strengthens its institutional credibility, product reach, and user accessibility, and the rest of this week’s updates tell much the same story.

Gate launches stock copy trading with 70,000 USDT debut campaign

Gate Stocks has officially launched copy trading for a total of 12,500 products, including US, Hong Kong, and Korean stocks and ETFs. Users can follow leading traders and mirror actual stock positions in real time with fractional stock trades of as little as 0.01 shares. The platform uses the highest level (HWM) profit sharing model. This means that the lead trader collects a new profit share only when the copy trader has exceeded the previous cumulative net profit peak. The launch campaign, which runs until August 13, will split a prize pool of 70,000 USDT between lead and copy traders and provide loss subsidies for first-time participants.

Gate US partners with BitGo for institutional-grade storage

Gate US announced a strategic partnership with BitGo to strengthen its asset protection and compliance framework.

Mid-Term Wealth Management Report: Stable AUM, Excellent Double Return on Investment

The Dual Investment Zero Day Deep Sniper Strategy recorded an APY of up to 295% compared to the market average of 166%, and the Interstellar Hedge (USDT) Quant Fund recorded a cumulative return of 18.7%.
