Gate Launches Automated Yield Feature For Stocks And CFD Accounts To Enhance Capital Efficiency

Cryptocurrency exchange Gate has launched an automated yield feature for its Stocks and CFD accounts, enabling eligible balances to earn returns without requiring users to lock or stake funds. The feature makes Gate one of the first digital asset platforms to offer this capability for these account types.

The feature applies to USDT balances held in Stocks accounts and USDx balances in CFD accounts. Interest is calculated separately for each account using a tiered structure, with annualized reference rates reaching up to 3.00% APR. Yield generation begins when the balance in an individual account exceeds 1,000 USDT or USDx. Applicable rates are displayed on the platform and may vary with market conditions.

Once activated, eligible balances are automatically included in daily calculations. Rewards are distributed to users’ Spot Accounts on a daily basis, while funds remain fully accessible for stock trading, IPO subscriptions, CFD transactions, or transfers between accounts. The company stated that yield generation continues without disrupting normal trading activity.

Expansion of Multi-Asset Trading

The launch is part of Gate’s broader push to expand its traditional finance services. Its Gate Stocks service offers access to over 12,500 equities and ETFs listed in the United States, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Through the Unified Account system, users can invest in global equities using USDT and access fractional share trading, dividend eligibility, and stock transfer services for select markets.

Gate has also expanded its CFD offering to include asset classes such as equities, indices, foreign exchange, commodities, and precious metals. The platform supports round-the-clock trading and USDT-based settlement, with the Unified Account enabling access to multiple markets through a single account.

The company said the automated yield feature represents another step in developing its multi-asset ecosystem, designed to improve capital efficiency by allowing eligible assets to generate returns while remaining available for investment and trading.
