My First Trade Wasn’t Crypto, but Stocks
You might not believe it—but my first trade on Gate wasn’t Bitcoin or Ethereum. It was U.S. stocks.
When I first registered on Gate last year, I only had a basic understanding of cryptocurrency. But I saw that Gate supported U.S. stock trading, including fractional shares, with a minimum purchase of just 0.01 shares. I thought: Why not give it a try? After all, there was no need to open a separate account.
So I used USDT to buy 0.1 shares of Apple. I spent a few dozen dollars and got to experience what it felt like to be an “Apple shareholder.”

18 months ago, I joined Gate without knowing that I was not simply opening an exchange account. I was opening the first chapter of my real journey into crypto.
I joined Gate in January 2025. At the beginning, a friend explained to me how Gate worked and told me that I could start by creating posts and learning step by step. So that is exactly what I did.
I started with posting.
Not trading. Not chasing profits. Not pretending I already understood the market.
Just posting, observing, asking questions, and learning.
Every day, I tried to understand something new about Gate and th

#PONSSurges41.9%
PONS is suddenly back in the spotlight, posting a powerful 41.9% surge and showing just how quickly attention can return to a token when price momentum, trading activity, and a strong narrative come together.
The move is more than just another percentage gain on a crypto price chart. PONS has been attracting increasing attention as the native token connected to a token-launch ecosystem on Robinhood Chain, and recent market activity suggests that traders are closely watching the project as it continues to gain visibility.
According to recent market data, PONS has experienced a

This return has me feeling nervous, afraid the market will come to its senses tomorrow and blacklist me. When it plunged intraday, I had planned to wait a little longer, but after seeing that volume failed to follow while selling pressure was strong, I knew the shorts hadn’t left yet. Those who got in should be laughing in their sleep.
Entry price: 0.03143, now 0.02175, +756.79%. The wait was worth it. This is the rhythm I wanted, not something the market handed me. Don’t let profits inflate your ego, and don’t despair over a drawdown.

A setback isn't the endgame; wait patiently for the tide to turn and set sail again
 I had planned to ride this wave and set sail, but unexpectedly the tide suddenly turned sharply downward, leaving many of our brothers stranded halfway.
 The expected rise never came; the market kept sinking, and anyone would inevitably lose heart.
 Remember, in a rapidly falling tide, the worst thing to do is reach out recklessly:
 Don't panic and sell at the very bottom of the wave, but don't stubbornly hold on and wait for the tide to recede either.

From “only buying crypto” to “buying everything,” it took just one year
When I registered with Gate last year, my understanding was very simple: an exchange was a place to buy crypto.
But over the past year, I’ve realized that Gate stopped being just an “exchange” a long time ago. In the second quarter of this year, the platform already supported more than 12,500 stocks and ETF assets. U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, South Korean stocks, and Japanese stocks—all four major markets are available in one account. Japanese stocks were also launched in August, with the first batch covering major name

I was just about to post a meme to ease my anxiety, but the market perked up on its own first. When the market dumped at the open, I watched that rebound, and the more I looked, the more it felt like a bull trap. With selling pressure so strong, every push upward looked like it was running out of steam. I immediately judged it to be a paper tiger.
I opened a short in the opposite direction at 0.30073. With the current price at 0.09993 and +662.27%, this run was truly worth the wait. When it comes to shorting, patience matters more than courage. If you can't wait for a good entry, it's better n

From “knowing nothing” to “barely understanding,” it took me 30 days
When I first registered on Gate last month, I couldn’t even tell market orders from limit orders. To me, candlestick charts were just a bunch of red and green bars, like an electrocardiogram—I couldn’t understand them at all.
30 days later, I can now at least understand basic trends, support levels, and resistance levels. Although I’m still far from being an expert, at least I won’t blindly buy anymore.
Over these 30 days, I did a few things: I learned by reading posts on Gate Square every day, gained experience by testing wi

$ZEC IS BACK ABOVE $1,000
Apparently the market has decided that privacy is worth a lot more than it used to be.
Main catalyst is Grayscale’s ZCSH ETF, which went live and gave TradFi a much easier way to get exposure to $ZEC.
The overall privacy narrative is also getting stronger with AI and on-chain surveillance becoming more advanced.
Around 4.86M $ZEC is already sitting in shielded pools, so there’s actual usage.
Then you have
- $34M+ in shorts getting wiped
- ~$2.3B in futures OI
- the DCG ETF accumulation speculation and

Everyone’s staring at $NEAR /USDT’s dip, but the 4h chart is whispering a secret that 95% of traders will miss.

$NEAR /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1.9415 – 1.9611
SL: 1.8571
TP1: 2.0220
TP2: 2.0691
TP3: 2.1397

Why this setup?
- 1D trend is **bullish**, yet RSI on 15m is cold at 44.61—this is a **pullback within strength**, not a reversal.
- Entry zone locked at **1.9415–1.9611** (ref: 1.9513) with ATR 0.039—tight risk, explosive reward.
- Targets ladder up: TP1 **2.0220** (+3.6%), TP2 **2.0691** (+6%), TP3 **2.1397** (+9.6%). Stop at 1.8571 keeps risk/reward at 1:3+.

#GateTops7DayNetInflowsGlobally
Capital is always looking for the platforms where liquidity, activity, and opportunity come together.
And recently, Gate has been standing out in one metric that deserves serious attention: net capital inflows.
According to data reported from DeFiLlama, Gate reached the top of global centralized exchanges for 7-day net inflows, showing strong capital movement onto the platform. In an earlier August reading, Gate recorded approximately $615 million in 7-day net inflows, ranking first globally across the measured time windows.

The process starts with a clear agreement on what needs to be done, how much it’s worth, and when it should be delivered.

The employer sets the scope, budget, deadline, and what the finished work should look like.

Instead of simply saying “I can do it,” the worker can propose their price and delivery window for that specific job.

Everyone’s long SUI at 0.75—but the 4h chart just whispered a dirty secret.

$SUI /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.7510 – 0.7568
SL: 0.7813
TP1: 0.7334
TP2: 0.7197
TP3: 0.6992

Why this setup?
Why now?
- RSI (15m: 45.6) is stalling, not oversold—room to bleed.
- ATR (1h: 0.0114) says volatility is compressing; breakouts fake, fades real.
- 1D trend: range-bound, so mean reversion favors the SHORT side at the top of the box.
- Entry ref 0.7539 sits below invalidation 0.7613—we’re armed with a tight trigger, not a hope.

If price taps TP1 at 0.7334, do you scale out or rid
