Gate to list 5 US stock perpetuals with bots, copy trading

Gate's move extends perpetual futures — a structure native to crypto venues — to US equities, blurring the line between crypto derivatives and tokenized stock exposure. The immediate effect is to give Gate's existing derivatives users a leveraged, USDT-settled route to single-name equity risk without leaving the platform, and the same-hour rollout of bots and copy trading signals that retail distribution, not institutional access, is the target. The open question is whether liquidity and funding in these contracts can hold up against established equity derivatives venues, and whether other offshore exchanges follow with similar listings.
