How to trade Nvidia and gold on crypto platforms? Gate TradFi interpretation

Since May 2026, the global financial markets have continued to show structural differentiation. The U.S. stock technology sector has maintained strong momentum driven by AI and new energy tracks, while geopolitical and inflation expectations have intertwined to boost the attention on safe-haven assets. Against this macro backdrop, the integration of crypto asset trading platforms with traditional finance (TradFi) is advancing at an unprecedented pace. As an industry pioneer, Gate continues to strengthen its efforts in the TradFi field, creating a super gateway connecting the crypto world and traditional finance through a multi-asset contract product matrix and an all-weather trading mechanism for users worldwide.

U.S. Stock Tech Sector Continues to Show Strength, Gate Contract Trading Gains Significant Popularity

Since mid-May, U.S. tech stocks have continued to oscillate at high levels. Nvidia (NVIDIA), a leader in AI chips, hit a record high amid positive news of mass production expectations for the Vera Rubin architecture and multiple Wall Street institutions raising target prices. Tesla (Tesla), on the other hand, showed a volatile consolidation amid strategic adjustments in the Indian market and intensified competition in China. Overall, AI and new energy sectors remain the core focus of market funds.

As market risk appetite warms, activity in mainstream U.S. stock contract trading continues to rise. According to CoinGlass data, the trading activity of mainstream U.S. stock contracts over the past 24 hours is as follows: NVIDIA (NVDA) at $221.91, with a 24-hour contract trading volume of $5.1353 million; Tesla (TSLA) at $403.74, with a 24-hour contract trading volume of $4.0738 million, both leading the industry, with market attention steadily increasing.

Gate’s layout in tokenized stocks is also noteworthy. By the beginning of 2026, Gate’s stock token zone has accumulated over $140 billion in trading volume, with a monthly market share of 89.1%, ranking first in the industry. Recent data shows that Nvidia’s tokenized stock NVDAX once reached a price of $223.7, closely linked to the performance of the underlying stock, providing Gate users with a 24/7 seamless tracking channel for the AI chip leader’s market price.

Gate Innovates Metal Contract Trading, Completes Traditional Safe-Haven Asset Portfolio

While the popularity of U.S. stock contracts continues to rise, Gate’s expansion into traditional financial assets is also accelerating. In January 2026, Gate officially launched a precious metals USDT perpetual contract zone, including gold and silver into the perpetual contract trading system, filling the platform’s trading scenarios in traditional safe-haven assets.

Gold contracts (XAU) and silver contracts (XAG), since their launch, support up to 50x leverage, USDT settlement, and 24/7 continuous trading. These contracts are based on comprehensive indices from multiple authoritative precious metals trading markets, helping to maintain price reasonableness and transparency during rapid market fluctuations. For traders using leverage, hedging strategies, or short-term operations, this is a key foundation for effective risk management.

Currently, Gate’s metals zone has extended from precious metals to industrial metals, launching contracts for aluminum (XAL), copper (XCU), nickel (XNI), lead (XPB), and also platinum (XPT) and palladium (XPD). Gate’s metal contracts provide traders with a strategic interface connecting traditional finance and crypto markets—traditional market participants can operate gold and silver on familiar crypto interfaces; crypto-native traders can introduce metal assets with different volatility structures, effectively diversifying portfolio risks.

Gate TradFi Product Matrix: Full Coverage of Five Major Asset Classes

Gate’s layout in traditional financial asset contracts extends far beyond metals. To date, Gate has formed a comprehensive TradFi product matrix covering stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities, providing users with a one-stop trading experience of “one account, investing globally.”

Stock Contracts: Gate has launched over 30 perpetual contracts for stocks and ETFs, covering sectors such as tech giants, aerospace and defense leaders, and consumer goods giants, including Microsoft (MSFT), TSMC (TSM), Nvidia (NVDAx), Tesla (TSLAx), and popular ETFs like SPY and QQQ.

Index Contracts: Gate is the only exchange worldwide that truly incorporates indices and commodities into its order book matching system. After launching perpetual contracts for US30, HK50, and JPN225, Gate has also introduced NAS100, UK100, and SPX500 index perpetual contracts. Recent data shows that the US30 contract on Gate has a position of about $3.78 million, with an increase of 891.39%, reflecting high interest from crypto traders in traditional financial index derivatives.

Forex Contracts: Gate has launched perpetual contracts for four major currency pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and USDCAD, with leverage up to 500x. All forex contracts are settled in USDT and support both long and short trading.

Commodity Contracts: Gate has launched perpetual contracts for Brent crude oil (BZ) and WTI crude oil (CL), supporting 1-100x leverage, and natural gas (NG) contracts are also available, supporting 1-20x leverage.

Meanwhile, Gate continues to expand its TradFi product line. On May 19, 2026, Gate’s TradFi stock zone launched 53 CFD trading pairs, including popular assets such as Defense Technology ETF SHLD, Memory ETF DRAM, GameStop (GME), Estée Lauder (EL), and Vale (VALE), all supporting 4x fixed leverage. According to Gate’s transparency report, the platform now supports over 430 traditional financial CFD assets and more than 70 tokenized stock assets, integrated through a unified account framework with spot trading, derivatives, and physical assets.

Gate TradFi Fully Upgraded: CFD Contracts, Perpetual Contracts, Spot Tokens in Parallel

In May 2026, Gate officially upgraded TradFi from a single product concept to a comprehensive trading sector, covering three core trading types: CFD contracts, perpetual contracts, and spot tokens, building a complete multi-asset, multi-strategy trading system. Specifically:

• CFD Contracts: Derivative trading based on price difference settlement, allowing two-way trading without holding the underlying asset, supporting leverage, suitable for multi-market linkage and strategic trading.
• Perpetual Contracts: Derivative contracts based on crypto assets, with no expiration date, anchored to spot prices via funding rate mechanisms, supporting high-frequency and trend trading strategies.
• Spot Tokens: Direct buying and holding of crypto assets, suitable for long-term allocation and value investing, and also participating in on-chain and ecosystem-related applications.

Gate’s TradFi under this upgraded framework offers multiple leverage options, making capital use more flexible. Investors can adjust leverage according to market volatility and risk appetite, and utilize tools such as stop-loss, take-profit, real-time market monitoring, and automated risk control to maintain trading discipline and strategy stability amid volatility.

Summary

Currently, the global financial markets are undergoing profound changes. The U.S. stock tech sector continues to strengthen under the dual drive of AI and new energy, with contract trading activity climbing steadily; meanwhile, precious metals and commodities attract significant safe-haven capital amid increasing macro uncertainties. At this intersection of dual trends, Gate TradFi, with its comprehensive coverage of five major asset classes, 24/7 trading mechanism, and continuously upgraded multi-asset trading architecture, provides a bridge connecting traditional finance and crypto markets for users worldwide. Whether tracking core U.S. stocks like NVIDIA and Tesla through contracts or hedging risks via gold, silver, and oil, Gate is pushing forward the realization of the “one account, investing globally” vision through ongoing product innovation.
