e Research: Against the backdrop of heightened macro volatility and stronger cross-market linkage in 2026, Gate has structured macro trading into two complementary tracks and embedded it as account-level infrastructure: Gate TradFi (MT5+CFD) offers a professional on-ramp that aligns more closely with traditional rules and cost structures, while Gate Macro Perpetuals bring equities, metals, indices, FX, and commodities into a unified USDT-settled margin and risk-management framework within the futures account.
