Gate’s Stock Transfer feature is now live—learn everything about cross-broker transfers into and out of U.S. and Hong Kong stocks, and enjoy a fresh experience in global asset allocation.

As the global investment market continues to evolve toward digitalization and cross-market integration, investors' demands for asset liquidity are also increasing. Beyond diversifying tradable products, the ability to freely transfer stock assets between different brokerages and reduce management costs has become a key focus for many cross-market investors.

Gate has recently launched its stock transfer-in and transfer-out feature, supporting cross-brokerage stock transfer services for U.S. and Hong Kong stocks. This allows users holding stock assets to transfer their holdings between different brokerages, further enhancing stock management efficiency. At the same time, the platform continues to build on its existing global stock trading framework, integrating digital asset accounts, multi-market stock trading, and around-the-clock trading mechanisms to continuously enrich its global multi-asset service ecosystem.

Gate Stock Transfer Feature Officially Launched, Creating a More Flexible Stock Asset Management Model

In the past, when investors held stocks across different brokerages, consolidating asset management often involved a cumbersome transfer process and varying market regulations. As global investment demand continues to grow, the free flow of stock assets has become a crucial factor in improving investment efficiency.

Gate's newly added stock transfer-in and transfer-out service supports cross-brokerage stock transfers for U.S. and Hong Kong stocks. This allows users to transfer stocks held at external brokerages into Gate or apply to transfer stock holdings from their Gate account to other brokerages, giving them greater flexibility and autonomy in stock allocation beyond a single platform. With this new stock transfer capability, Gate not only provides trading services but also extends to stock asset management, enabling global investors to manage stock positions across different markets more comprehensively.

What Are the Features of the Stock Transfer Service?

The newly launched stock transfer service primarily supports two major markets: U.S. stocks and Hong Kong stocks. U.S. stock transfers are processed through the DTC system, while Hong Kong stock transfers are handled via the CCASS system, both using FOP (Free of Payment) settlement. According to official information, no stock transfer fees are charged by Gate for either stock transfers-in or transfers-out. The entire process is estimated to take approximately 3 to 15 business days, though the actual time may vary depending on the involved brokerages and market procedures. Additionally, the platform provides a complete stock transfer operation process. Users can navigate to the "More" page in the Gate App, select "Transfer In Stocks" or "Transfer Out Stocks" under "Common Functions," follow the instructions to choose the U.S. or Hong Kong stock market, fill in brokerage information, stock code, quantity, and other details, then submit the application. For stock transfers-in, users must also contact the original brokerage to initiate the transfer-out. For stock transfers-out, users need to correctly fill in the receiving brokerage information. The platform also offers a transfer application record query function, allowing users to track case progress in real time, including statuses such as processing, completed, and canceled, thereby enhancing overall asset management transparency. Currently, this feature is being rolled out gradually, and users can follow subsequent version update announcements.

Stock Transfer Is Just the Beginning – Gate Is Continuously Enhancing Its Global Stock Services

In addition to the new stock transfer feature, Gate has been steadily expanding its global stock product offerings in recent years. The platform now supports over 12,500 stocks and ETFs, covering three major markets: U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and South Korean stocks. Specifically, U.S. stocks include over 10,000 stocks and ETFs from major U.S. trading markets and liquidity networks such as NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS. Hong Kong stocks cover over 1,500 stocks, and South Korean stocks exceed 1,000, offering investors a more comprehensive selection for global stock allocation. These include large global tech companies, major U.S. listed companies, and representative enterprises from Hong Kong and South Korea, allowing different market investment needs to be met on a single platform. The addition of the stock transfer feature signifies that Gate has gradually established a complete service chain encompassing stock trading, holding management, and cross-brokerage asset transfer.

24/7 Trading Mechanism Breaks Traditional Stock Market Trading Limitations

Beyond expanding market coverage, another distinguishing feature of Gate stocks is the 24/7 stock trading experience. The platform currently supports 7×24-hour trading for U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and South Korean stocks. In addition to existing pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading sessions, it also covers overnight and weekend trading periods. Compared to traditional securities markets constrained by trading hours, round-the-clock trading allows investors to respond more quickly to global market news, major events, or breaking developments when planning their investment strategies. It also enhances convenience for users in different time zones to participate in global markets. This trading model is gradually steering global stock trading toward greater immediacy and flexibility. Additionally, Gate stocks support fractional share trading with a minimum of 0.01 shares, lowering the barrier to global stock investing and allowing investors to participate in global stock markets with more flexible capital, further improving asset allocation efficiency.

Unified Account Structure Integrates Stock and Digital Asset Management

Beyond stock trading functions, Gate is also continuously promoting integration between digital assets and traditional financial markets. Through a unified account structure, users can manage both digital assets and stock assets on the same platform, reducing the need to switch between different platforms and improving overall asset management efficiency.

The platform has also incorporated stock services into its VIP tier system. Users with stock holdings valued at $2,000 or more qualify for VIP status, granting fees as low as 0.023% for stock trading, along with services like a dedicated account manager, further enhancing the cross-market investment experience. For investors interested in both cryptocurrencies and global stock markets, this integrated account structure makes multi-asset allocation more convenient.

Limited-Time Stock Deposit Campaign Also Launched

To coincide with the official launch of the stock transfer feature, Gate is also running a limited-time stock deposit campaign. The campaign period runs from June 29 to July 7, 2026. Users who register for the campaign and successfully apply to transfer in U.S. or Hong Kong stocks, with a successfully transferred asset value of at least 3,000 USDT equivalent, can submit valid stock transfer fee receipts from their original brokerage to apply for fee subsidies. At the same time, these users will enjoy VIP upgrade benefits. Specifically, the subsidy for U.S. stock transfer fees can be up to 15,000 USDT, and for Hong Kong stock transfers, up to 6,000 USDT. VIP levels can be upgraded up to VIP 9. The actual subsidy amount will be determined based on the original brokerage's transfer fees and the campaign tier. Detailed rules are subject to the official campaign announcement.
