According to CoinMeta, Gate has announced the official launch of its Japanese stock trading service, covering approximately 300 stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), including popular targets such as Toyota Motor, Sony Group, SoftBank Group, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Nintendo, and Tokyo Electron. Users do not need to open a separate account with a traditional Japanese brokerage firm or exchange yen in order to directly participate in Japanese stock trading on the Gate platform using USDT. Currently, Japanese stock trading is available on the Gate and web platforms, with the APP platform set to go live in the near future. Japanese stock trading supports trading during the periods of 09:00–11:30 and 12:30–15:25 Japan Time, which corresponds to 08:00–10:30 and 11:30–14:25 UTC+8. This launch of Japanese stocks further enriches the platform's global multi-asset trading options. Currently, the platform supports trading of over 10,000 US stocks, more than 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, over 1,000 Korean stocks, and approximately 300 Japanese stocks, providing a total of over 12,800 stock and ETF asset trading choices.
