【Gate Research Institute: Perpetualization of TradFi Assets and the Systematic Overlay Advantages of Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts】

ChainCatcher reports that the Gate Research Institute released a report titled "Perpetualization of TradFi Assets and the Systematic Overlay Advantages of Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts," which points out that under the backdrop of increased macro volatility and enhanced cross-market linkage in 2026, crypto traders' demand for stablecoin-denominated, composable, and 7×24 executable macro risk tools has significantly increased. Therefore, Gate splits macro trading into two complementary paths: on one hand, providing a more traditional market rule-aligned professional trading gateway through Gate TradFi (MT5+CFD); on the other hand, launching USDT-settled macro perpetual contracts, allowing macro assets such as stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities to be directly integrated into the contract account's unified margin and risk control system. The report shows that Gate has covered over a hundred macro perpetual assets across five categories: stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities. Mechanically, the platform uses a Price-Hold mechanism to handle pricing continuity during reference market closures, and supports parallel long and short positions within the same market, mixed full and isolated margin positions, and independent leverage configurations for isolated longs and shorts under the sub-accounts model, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, event-driven rebalancing, and strategy reuse.
