Top 10 crypto exchange Gate has joined a recent trend of digital asset platforms adding trading in “traditional” financial instruments, with brokerage infrastructure provider Alpaca announcing a partnership with Gate, to support Gate’s launch of U.S. stocks and ETFs, IPO allocations, and tokenized stocks.
Gate users can now access more than 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs through Gate Stocks and request IPO allocations for eligible U.S. IPOs. Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure supports the core brokerage functionality for these products, helping Gate expand beyond digital assets and provide a more unified, multi-asset investing experience.
Gate’s broader rollout also includes the launch of gStocks, its tokenized U.S. stock offering. Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure supports the custody and settlement of the underlying shares associated with gStocks.
Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-founder and CEO of Alpaca said,
“We built Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure to help innovative financial platforms expand access to global markets at scale. Gate brings a large, digitally-native user base and a clear vision for multi-asset investing. This launch demonstrates how our infrastructure can help global platforms connect digital and traditional markets and broaden investment access for their users.”
This launch reflects Gate’s evolution from a digital-asset trading platform into a financial services ecosystem spanning wealth management, payments, Web3, artificial intelligence, and traditional financial markets.
Lin Han, founder and CEO of Gate said,
“We believe the future of investing lies in connecting digital assets and traditional finance. Alpaca’s infrastructure helps us broaden access to U.S. markets, bring multiple asset classes together within the Gate ecosystem, and give our customers a more seamless way to manage their investments.”
Gate and Alpaca said they also share a vision for the future of agentic trading and the potential convergence of AI and trading infrastructure. Gate is exploring how AI-powered capabilities could help retail investors, professional traders, and developers analyze markets, manage assets, and make more informed investment decisions.
