#Gate直通韩股股票

Gate "Direct Access to Korean Stocks" is not essentially "direct access" to the Korean stock exchange, but a financial innovation product—by using stablecoin USDT as a settlement medium, allowing users to configure global assets such as US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks in a unified account with a one-stop setup.

🧩 Core Trading Rules and Features

· Trading targets: The first batch includes stocks ranked in the top 1,000 by market capitalization on the Korean Exchange (KRX), covering the KOSPI main board (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, etc.) and the KOSDAQ startup board (NAVER, Celltrion, etc.).
· Trading hours: Consistent with the regular hours of the Korean exchange, from 09:00 to 15:20 Korea time, currently supporting only continuous intraday trading, with no pre-market or after-hours trading.
· Pricing and settlement: Prices, market value, and profit/loss are displayed in Korean Won (KRW); fees and fund settlements are converted to USDT at real-time exchange rates.
· Thresholds and rates: Supports fractional trading with a minimum of 0.01 shares; holding $2,000 USD in position can upgrade to VIP, enjoying a minimum stock trading fee rate of 0.023%.
· Accounts and KYC: Shares the same account and asset system with US stocks and Hong Kong stocks; only basic KYC verification is required, no need for a Korean brokerage account or exchange of Korean Won.

🚀 Product Innovation and Strategic Significance

This is a key step for Gate.io to transform from a pure cryptocurrency exchange into a comprehensive financial service platform. Over the past month, Gate has intensively launched trading services for US stocks (June 1), Hong Kong stocks (June 11), and Korean stocks (June 22). Currently, it supports over 10,000 US stocks and more than 1,500 Hong Kong stocks.

It should be noted that stock trading and spot cryptocurrency trading have fundamentally different mechanisms and risks. Traditional stock markets have circuit breakers, suspensions, and other mechanisms, while crypto markets operate 24/7 without breaks. Additionally, this service involves exchange rate risk (real-time conversion between USDT and Korean Won).

Gate's "Direct Access to Korean Stocks" significantly lowers the barrier to participating in the Korean stock market, but as an innovative product connecting two different worlds, it carries both risks and opportunities.
