ChainCatcher News, Gate Research Institute released the report “Perpetualization of TradFi Assets and the Systematic Overlay Advantages of Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts,” which points out that in 2026, against the backdrop of increased macro volatility and enhanced cross-market linkages, crypto traders’ demand for stablecoin-denominated, composable, and 24/7 executable macro risk tools will significantly rise. Therefore, Gate splits macro trading into two complementary paths: on one hand, providing a more traditional market rule-aligned professional trading gateway through Gate TradFi (MT5+CFD); on the other hand, launching USDT-settled macro perpetual contracts, allowing macro assets such as stocks, metals, indices, forex, and commodities to be directly integrated into the contract account’s unified margin and risk control system.
The report shows that Gate has covered over a hundred macro perpetual assets across five major categories: stocks, metals, indices, forex, and commodities. Mechanically, the platform uses the Price-Hold mechanism to maintain pricing continuity during reference market closures, and supports parallel long and short positions within the same market, mixed full and isolated margin positions, and independent leverage configurations for each position, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, event-driven rebalancing, and strategy reuse.
