Gate TradFi Pioneers the Industry: Gold Trading Enters the Era of Adjustable Leverage

February 4, 2026, Gate TradFi officially launched the industry’s first innovative gold adjustable leverage spread contract trading, introducing three new products: XAUUSD20 (Gold 20x), XAUUSD100 (Gold 100x), and XAUUSD200 (Gold 200x).

Users can now flexibly match appropriate leverage levels for gold trading within the same trading account based on market fluctuations and personal risk tolerance.

Industry Breakthrough: From Fixed to Flexible Trading Revolution

For a long time, traditional finance and most crypto trading platforms have offered limited or fixed leverage options when providing leverage trading for mainstream assets like gold.

When market conditions suddenly reverse, traders using high leverage who do not adjust in time are at risk of margin calls or even liquidation. This rigid product design effectively strips traders of proactive risk management.

Gate’s newly launched adjustable leverage gold trading directly addresses this industry pain point. This feature allows traders to choose between different leverage levels—such as 20x, 100x, and 200x—based on their risk preferences, market judgment, and capital situation.

This innovation is not isolated. It builds on the increasingly mature Gate TradFi platform. Since its launch, the platform has covered mainstream traditional financial assets including stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities.

Its total trading volume has surpassed $20 billion since inception, with peak daily trading volume exceeding $5 billion.

Product Matrix to Meet All-Scenario Gold Trading Needs

The three newly launched gold spread contract products, together with Gate’s original XAUUSD (Gold 500x) product, form a complete, multi-layered gold trading product matrix.

Their real-time quotes and historical trends are identical, differing only in contract leverage levels, providing traders with unprecedented flexibility.

This means that whether traders seek steady returns as conservative investors or aim to amplify volatility opportunities as active traders, they can find suitable tools on Gate.

For example, XAUUSD20’s 20x leverage is suitable for traders who want to moderately amplify gains while remaining cautious of market volatility. For users seeking higher capital efficiency and with more trading experience, XAUUSD100 and XAUUSD200 offer broader options.

All products are margin-calculated and displayed in Gate’s unified internal denomination USDx, which is pegged 1:1 to USDT.

Users only need to transfer USDT to the TradFi account to start trading, without additional exchange processes or fees, enabling seamless integration of crypto assets and traditional finance trading.

Platform Empowerment: Professional Infrastructure Supporting Innovation

Innovative product features rely on a powerful and stable trading system. Gate TradFi’s upgrade, along with the official launch of its web platform, achieves full terminal coverage across both app and web.

This improvement means that account, fund, and position data are synchronized and consistent across all devices, greatly enhancing trading continuity and operational efficiency.

Technically, Gate TradFi’s trading mechanism is deeply integrated with the industry-renowned MT5 system, providing professional charting tools, rich market insights, and stable order execution. Trading fees are highly competitive, with single-transaction fees as low as $0.018.

In risk control, the platform adopts a margin ratio risk management model. When a user’s account margin ratio drops to 5% or below, the system triggers forced liquidation to control risk.

Wise Trading: Leverage Is a Double-Edged Sword

Gold is globally recognized as a safe-haven asset and a store of value, with prices driven by complex factors such as macroeconomics, geopolitical events, and monetary policies. High leverage amplifies potential gains but also proportionally increases the risk of losses.

A recent case in traditional financial markets offers a warning. The Guotou UBS Silver LOF Fund experienced a historic -31.5% net asset value decline in a single day after international silver prices plummeted. The fund company temporarily adjusted valuation rules, leading to a sharp decline.

This has dealt a heavy blow to many investors attempting “risk-free arbitrage.” It clearly shows that even seemingly stable assets can experience extreme volatility under extreme market conditions and complex rules.

Therefore, for traders using leverage, understanding and respecting risk is paramount. novice traders should start with lower leverage (such as 20x) to gradually build experience and market understanding.

Even experienced traders should avoid exposing high-leverage positions to uncontrollable risks at any time.

Strategy First: Opening Gold Trading on Gate

Using Gate’s new features to trade gold is a systematic process. First, users need to create a Gate account and enable TradFi trading permissions with one click.

Next, transfer USDT from the unified fund account to the TradFi sub-account to prepare for trading.

During execution, the key is to choose the appropriate product based on your trading plan. For example, during periods of intense market data releases and increased volatility, lowering leverage to 20x is a more cautious choice.

In trending and confident market conditions, traders can consider using 100x or 200x leverage to improve capital efficiency. All trades should be conducted with clear stop-loss levels set.

To celebrate the new feature launch and the full activation of the web platform, Gate is holding a celebration event. From February 2 to 22, the platform has set up a total trading reward pool of $150,000 and distributed “Gate TradFi Gold Lucky Packs” containing 1,152 grams of gold. Active participants have a chance to win additional rewards.

Future Outlook

Next time you open Gate’s gold trading interface, you will no longer face a single choice. The screens showing XAUUSD20, XAUUSD100, and XAUUSD200 are like three different throttle levels, representing steady, agile, and rapid driving modes.

A trader recently took profits on part of his 200x position and adjusted the remaining position to 20x to pass the weekend. Market volatility still exists, but the tools he holds are now more powerful and versatile than ever.
