Alpaca has partnered
with cryptocurrency platform Gate to support its launch of US stocks and
exchange-traded funds, initial public offering allocations and tokenized
stocks.
Gate’s move follows a
broader push by cryptocurrency exchanges into traditional equities. In June, Binance
added 7,000 US stocks to its platform, with Alpaca providing custody,
dividend processing and corporate-action support. The trend is giving retail
investors and traders on crypto platforms access to a wider range of
traditional market products.
Alpaca Supports Gate’s US Stock Launch
Under the partnership,
Gate users can access more than 10,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs through Gate
Stocks. Eligible users can also request allocations in US IPOs.
Alpaca provides the
brokerage infrastructure for these products, including the brokerage functions
needed to support trading in the underlying securities.
The partnership also

platform.
Gate is also developing
AI tools for retail investors, professional traders and developers to analyse
markets and manage assets.
Coinbase, MEXC Expand Beyond Digital
Assets
The move is part of a shift
among crypto exchanges towards offering traditional financial products.
Earlier this year, Coinbase
outlined plans for a multi-asset platform covering cryptocurrencies,
equities, derivatives and prediction markets. It described the model as an
“Everything Exchange” operating across several asset classes.
MEXC
also entered the US stock market with RealStocks, giving users access to
US-listed shares and dividends through a licensed brokerage partner.
