PANews reported on June 15th that Gate Equity has officially launched its Hong Kong stock trading function, further expanding its global diversified asset allocation capabilities. Users who upgrade their Gate App to version 8.23.5 or above can directly participate in the trading of Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) listed stocks using USDT through the Gate platform, without needing to open a separate traditional brokerage account or exchange Hong Kong dollars themselves, thus conveniently accessing the Hong Kong stock market.

This initial launch includes over 1,000 Hong Kong stocks, covering multiple core sectors such as technology and internet, finance, new energy, telecommunications, consumer goods, and biopharmaceuticals. These include representative companies with high market attention, such as Tencent Holdings, HSBC Holdings, Xiaomi Group, Meituan, BYD, and China Mobile. Hong Kong and US stocks share the same stock account system, supporting functions such as buying and selling, portfolio management, profit and loss inquiries, and historical record viewing, providing users with a unified and efficient trading experience. Furthermore, only intraday trading is supported; pre-market and after-hours trading services are not offered. Prices, profits and losses, and portfolio value are displayed in Hong Kong dollars (HKD), while transaction fees are converted to USDT at the real-time exchange rate. This launch of Hong Kong stocks further enriches Gate TradFi's global stock product matrix, providing users with a more convenient one-stop cross-market investment channel.
