Gate Research Institute: Exchanges are diversifying their traditional asset trading strategies; Gate is building a perpetual order book system covering all asset classes.

PANews reported on February 14th that Gate Research released a report titled "Divergence in Traditional Asset Trading Routes on Exchanges | Gate Builds a Full-Category Perpetual Order Book System." The report points out that most mainstream centralized exchanges (CEXs) currently use quote-based CFD modules for traditional asset trading, while Gate, in addition to offering TradeFi CFD products, also incorporates stocks, metals, indices, forex, and commodities into a unified perpetual order book contract system, adopting the matching and funding rate framework of crypto perpetual contracts.

Based solely on perpetual contracts supporting the Orderbook mechanism, Gate is currently the only platform to have achieved unified order book trading across all five major TradeFi asset classes, and it has gained a first-mover advantage in order booking for indices and commodities. In contrast, most competitors still focus on expanding the number of underlying assets, exhibiting structural differences in price discovery transparency and the Maker ecosystem. As competition shifts from product expansion to upgrading trading mechanisms and infrastructure, the order book model aligns more closely with RWA's standardized trading direction, and Gate's unified Orderbook architecture also reserves greater capacity for further expansion into multiple assets and real-world assets.
