Gate Products

Smart Leverage and ETF leveraged tokens are both margin-free leveraged products, but they differ fundamentally in how they operate. ETF leveraged tokens use fixed multipliers, such as 3x, and rely on rebalancing to maintain leverage, making them more suitable for trending markets. Smart Leverage, by contrast, uses dynamic leverage that automatically adjusts positions based on market volatility, making it better suited for choppy or complex conditions. In terms of risk, ETFs are more prone to volatility decay, while Smart Leverage exhibits path-dependent returns. Neither is inherently superior, the key lies in matching the tool to the market environment and trading strategy.

Gate ETF, or leveraged tokens, are crypto financial instruments that “tokenize” leveraged trading. They allow users to gain amplified price exposure through spot trading without needing margin or a futures account. As the crypto derivatives market evolves, these products are increasingly used to improve capital efficiency and simplify risk management in trending markets.

Gate TradFi Commodities Trading is a derivative-based trading system that enables users to use crypto assets as margin to speculate on global commodity prices through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), eliminating the need to hold the underlying assets directly. As multi-asset trading platforms evolve, this model has become widely adopted for bridging traditional financial markets and blockchain-based infrastructure, allowing users to access various asset classes within a single system.

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is a financial derivative settled based on the price difference of an underlying asset. Users do not need to actually hold the underlying asset itself. Instead, they can participate in the market by judging whether the price will rise or fall. For this reason, the core logic of CFDs is not the transfer of asset ownership, but trading price movements.

Gate Staking is a suite of products on Gate.com that lets users earn crypto rewards through staking and other on-chain yield opportunities with supported assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and GT, without running validator nodes or managing complex on-chain steps themselves.

USD1 is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial. For users who hold USD1 on Gate, the platform provides a Soft Staking program that allows eligible users to earn rewards based on their USD1 holdings without subscribing to a fixed-term product or locking their assets.

Gate Pre-IPOs is designed to let users access pre-IPO investment opportunities through a digital asset platform. At its core, it standardizes and digitizes what has traditionally been a private equity process. In the first SpaceX (SPCX) offering, users can subscribe using USDT or GUSD and receive SPCX allocations that are distributed fully unlocked upon completion. This lowers the barriers typically associated with primary market investing and allows broader participation through digital assets.

The key distinction between Gate IPOs and traditional IPO subscriptions lies in the participation model and infrastructure. Traditional IPOs typically depend on securities accounts, brokerage channels, and regional market rules, while Gate IPOs leverage the IPO Access service to consolidate project display, subscription applications, allocation management, and stock distribution onto a single digital platform, offering users a more streamlined participation experience.

Gate IPOs is Gate’s IPO Access service, designed to help eligible users discover, apply for, and manage participation in IPO and selected Pre-IPO opportunities through a digital platform. By bringing project information, subscription applications, allocation procedures, and post-allocation arrangements into one interface, Gate IPOs provides a more streamlined way for users to explore opportunities connected to traditional capital markets.

Gate IPOs offers users a digital channel to participate in global corporate IPOs through the IPO Access service. Using the first project, SpaceX, as an example, users can submit subscription intent applications prior to the IPO listing and complete the subscription with USDT. During the subscription period, the system calculates the allocation weight based on each user's average locked balance, and final stock distribution is determined based on the actual IPO issuance results and the quota allocated to the platform.

Gate Pre-IPOs Moonshot AI (KIMI) is a pre-listing asset-certificate offering on Gate built as a Mirror Note rather than actual Moonshot AI stock. The product is designed to mirror the company's pre-IPO and post-listing valuation path through a dedicated subscription and secondary-market mechanism, with separate USDT and GUSD pools, allocation weighting by locked-fund time, and explicit refund and risk rules.

Gate Pre-IPOs, traditional IPO subscriptions, and pre-market trading all offer early exposure before or around a public listing, but they are not the same route. Gate Pre-IPOs uses a Mirror Note structure on a crypto platform, traditional IPO access is usually broker-led and share based, and pre-market trading happens in a market session around already listed or listing-stage equities. The clearest differences are legal rights, how users enter, when liquidity appears, and what happens if the listing path changes.

To subscribe to Gate Pre-IPOs Moonshot AI (KIMI), users first review the product rules, choose either the USDT or GUSD subscription pool, lock funds during the subscription window, and then verify allocation and distribution records in the Pre-IPOs order path. The most important checks are pool choice, hourly average locked amount, fee treatment, and what happens if no allocation is received.

The Gate PreIPO secondary market is a secondary market launched by Gate on September 17, 2026, providing secondary trading and liquidity for Pre-IPOs asset certificates with 24/7 supply-and-demand pricing. Its debut project is Moonshot AI (KIMI) under the KIMI/USDT pair, with fees of 0.5% for Makers and 1.5% for Takers, and settlement may be affected by ROFR and underlying asset factors.

Using Gate Trenches to complete an onchain trade usually takes only a few minutes. Users need a logged-in Gate account with an available balance, then they can search for a token by name or contract address, review market data, slippage, and fees, and submit a buy or sell order.
