Gate Adds Taiwan-Listed Shares to Its USDT-Funded Stock Trading Service

Gate opens access to Taiwan-listed stocks

Gate has launched trading in shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, adding a new market to its stock-trading business. The initial selection comprises 19 companies across sectors that include semiconductors, artificial intelligence, electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, financial services and traditional industries. The launch gives users a platform-based route to access a limited group of Taiwan-listed shares; the announcement does not describe the offering as covering the entire exchange.

The companies named among the initial stocks include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, under ticker 2330, and chip designer MediaTek, ticker 2454. Other examples are Hon Hai Precision Industry, ticker 2317; Quanta Computer, ticker 2382; Chunghwa Telecom, ticker 2412; and Fubon Financial Holding, ticker 2881. These examples show that the available list extends beyond chipmakers into electronics manufacturing, telecoms and financial services.

The launch adds Taiwan exposure to a service that already offers stock trading across several markets. Gate says its stock service now covers the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, with more than 12,800 stocks and exchange-traded funds worldwide. That overall figure describes the platform’s wider selection, not the number of Taiwan shares: the initial Taiwan offering is specifically stated as 19 listed stocks.

How the USDT-based trading service works

Taiwan is described in the announcement as home to companies involved in semiconductor manufacturing, chip design, advanced packaging and AI servers, and as an important part of the global technology supply chain. Gate’s addition therefore brings another major Asian equity market into its multi-market stock service. The launch establishes access through the platform, but the announcement does not provide company-level analysis or explain how individual Taiwan stocks may perform.

Users trade the Taiwan stocks through Gate’s existing stock account system, using USDT rather than first converting funds into New Taiwan dollars. This is the central feature of the trading arrangement: customers transfer USDT to a stock account and use that balance for eligible trades. The platform says the system supports management of holdings and transaction records alongside market data, providing a common account environment for its stock markets.

The account’s trading currency and the displayed market figures are different. Gate says stock prices, market data, portfolio valuations and profit-and-loss figures are shown in TWD, while trading fees are charged in USDT according to the platform’s fee schedule and applicable exchange rates. Users should therefore distinguish the currency used to fund and pay fees from the currency used to present stock values; the announcement does not specify a fixed conversion rate.

Taiwan’s place in Gate’s broader stock offering

Through their Gate stock accounts, users can review market information, buy and sell supported shares, manage their holdings and check transaction history. Gate presents this as a way to manage stock assets across different markets in one place. The announcement also describes broader platform features, including fractional stock trading from 0.01 shares and access to corresponding stock dividend entitlements, but it does not clarify in this notice whether every such feature applies to each Taiwan-listed stock.

Gate says its stock service also supports corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse stock splits, as well as transfers between brokerages for U.S. and Hong Kong stocks. Those details describe the wider service and should not be taken as confirmation that cross-brokerage transfers are available for Taiwan holdings. For Taiwan trading, the stated launch information centers on the 19 supported shares, account access, USDT settlement and the TWD display of prices and valuations.

The new market sits within Gate TradFi, which the company describes as a diversified offering of traditional financial assets. Its listed product categories include global stocks, ETFs, metals and indices. Adding Taiwan expands the geographic reach of its stock service in Asia, while keeping those markets accessible through the same platform environment. The announcement frames this as part of a broader effort to connect digital-asset services with traditional financial products.

Trading schedule and details users should verify

Gate’s stated ambition is to continue expanding into major capital markets and asset classes worldwide and to improve trading functions and asset-management features. The Taiwan launch is a concrete addition to the existing list of five stock markets, but the announcement does not identify a next market, set a timetable for future launches or describe planned changes to the current selection. Any future expansion or service improvement therefore remains unspecified.

Access depends on the supported stock list and the trading window provided by Gate. The platform says Taiwan shares are available during the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s regular continuous trading session, from 01:00 to 05:25 UTC on trading days. Users can locate supported companies through the Gate Stocks trading portal or the platform’s search function, then transfer USDT into their stock accounts before placing eligible orders during the designated hours.

The announcement directs users to current platform notices and the relevant service pages for the latest trading rules, supported stocks and fee information. Those details matter because the initial list is limited and fees depend on Gate’s schedule and applicable exchange rates. The notice does not set out individual order conditions or jurisdiction-specific availability; it says Gate may restrict or prohibit services in some jurisdictions. Users should check the terms that apply to their account before relying on access.
