Fans ask me which platform to use for buying US stocks?
Disclaimer: When buying and selling US stocks, I highly recommend traditional brokerage platforms because of stock dividends, suitable for long-term holding and value investing.
If you insist on buying through a crypto exchange, I personally choose the Gate exchange. But there are very many product lines packaged as US stocks (the same applies to other crypto exchanges), so you need to carefully identify. Taking Gate exchange as an example (see the attached picture) 👇🏾
Among the four main categories: CFD, stocks, perpetual, tokens, please recognize "stocks"!! Because only this is a real stock, the other three are not. The other three categories; choose based on your needs. (Only for Gate exchange)
I will not elaborate on the real US stock situation on other exchanges; you can consult grok yourself. The above is not investment advice.
