FAQ
Can I trade Fast Retailing on Gate around the clock?
No. Gate's US and Hong Kong stocks are 24/7, but its Japan spot only trades during Tokyo Stock Exchange hours. The FASTRETAILING perpetual trades around the clock, but it tracks the price without owning the shares and carries leverage and funding.
Broker or exchange: which is cheaper?
Depends on the amount and whether you already hold USDT. IBKR charges 0.08% on Japanese stocks with a ¥80 minimum, plus a US$2 minimum per currency conversion; Gate charges 0.1%, but turning dollars into USDT costs an estimated 2.5% on its own (not confirmed by Gate). Gate only comes out ahead if you already hold USDT. Change the amount in the calculator above.
Who can buy Japanese stocks on Gate?
Gate's global site is closed to the US, mainland China, Singapore and 30+ other locations; Japan is restricted too (it has a separate local entity, Gate Japan), and stocks and other TradFi products carry extra regional restrictions. What you can trade is whatever the app shows you.
Do Japanese stocks bought on Gate pay dividends?
Gate says cash dividends are credited in USDT; shares are held in an omnibus account, so you are not the registered shareholder and have no vote.
