Gate has launched a global stock transfer service that allows traders to move U.S. and Hong Kong equities between brokerages without transfer fees, aiming to simplify cross-market asset management within a single account.
New transfer feature connects brokerages
The new function enables both inbound and outbound transfers through an integrated account system, letting users consolidate traditional equities alongside digital assets. Transfers are executed using the Free of Payment (FOP) method, meaning shares move without a cash transaction.
U.S. equities are processed through the Depository Trust Company (DTC), while Hong Kong-listed stocks are handled via the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS). The company estimates completion times between three and fifteen business days, depending on brokerage processing speeds and market infrastructure timelines.
Limited-time promotion offers fee reimbursement
To encourage adoption, Gate is running a “Stock Transfer Promotion” from July 1 to July 7, 2026. Traders who transfer assets worth at least 3,000 USDT can apply for reimbursement of handling fees charged by their original brokerage. Reimbursements are capped at 15,000 USDT for U.S. stocks and 6,000 USDT for Hong Kong stocks, subject to proof of fees.
Broader push toward unified asset management
The rollout reflects a wider strategy to combine traditional and digital asset services. Gate’s stock division now offers access to more than 12,500 equities and ETFs, including over 10,000 U.S. listings, 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, and 1,000 South Korean stocks. The platform supports round-the-clock trading and fractional shares starting from 0.01.
Through its unified account system, users can manage multiple asset classes without switching platforms. Accounts holding more than 2,000 USD qualify for stock trading fees as low as 0.023% and additional services such as dedicated account support.
Practical considerations for transfers
While Gate does not charge transfer fees, originating brokerages may still impose their own costs. Assets in transit cannot be traded during the transfer window, which can extend up to three weeks. Processing delays may also occur if account details do not perfectly match across institutions.
The company, founded in 2013 by Dr. Han, reports more than 55 million users globally and supports trading across 4,700 cryptocurrency assets alongside traditional instruments such as stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities.
