When a merchant sets the minimum order amount in a listing that meets the platform’s block trade threshold, the order will automatically appear in the **[Block Trade]** section. **All merchants can participate, and no additional application is required. Please refer to the trading page for the specific limit.** ### **Why launch Block Trading?** * **Higher efficiency** – Reduce the impact of large orders on market prices. * **Better liquidity** – Match with quality counterparties and complete large trades quickly. * **Safe & reliable** – Funds are fully protected by Gate’s escrow and risk control system.

### **How can merchants post ads on Block Trade section?** 1. To simplify the process, the posting portal and procedure for block trades are the same as those for regular orders; the only difference is that when posting a P2P ad, set the "**Minimum Order Amount**" to meet or exceed the platform’s block trade threshold. 2. Block Trading mode will be automatically enabled once the requirement is met — no separate application is needed. ### **Filtering & Execution** * Block Trade listings will be specially labeled on the market to help counterparties identify them quickly. * Matching rules are the same as normal trades, and funds remain protected by Gate’s escrow. * Matching speed may vary between fiat markets depending on liquidity. * If the minimum order amount falls below the platform’s block trade threshold, the listing will revert to standard P2P trading mode. ### **How can P2P users access Block Trading?** From the homepage top menu, click **[P2P] - [Block Trade]** to enter the specific trading page.
