Because Gate Stocks supports real stock ownership, investors can participate in economic rights associated with their holdings, including cash dividends, stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse splits.

Both SPCXX and SPCXON are SpaceX-linked tokenized stock products, yet they follow different design approaches. SPCXX prioritizes on-chain liquidity and price tracking, whereas SPCXON aims to replicate a fuller range of stock economic rights on-chain.

xStocks is a tokenized stock issuance network that maps real-world listed company stocks to digital tokens on the blockchain, allowing stock assets to be held, transferred, and traded on-chain. Each xStocks token typically represents a specific amount of underlying stock, with asset backing maintained through custodians, issuers, and a compliance framework.

The issuance of a stock in xStocks typically involves several stages, including the purchase and custody of actual shares, establishment of legal structures, on-chain token minting, market circulation, and ongoing reserve management. Each tokenized stock corresponds to a specific quantity of underlying stock assets, with custodians and issuing entities maintaining the asset mapping relationship.

xStocks and traditional brokerages are frequently compared because both provide investors with stock market exposure. The key distinction lies in how assets are held and settled. xStocks tokenizes real-world stocks on-chain, enabling holding and transfer through blockchain networks, whereas traditional brokerages record investor positions in securities accounts and rely on exchanges and central clearing institutions for settlement.

A variable interest rate, also known as a floating rate, is a common interest rate structure in the loan and mortgage market. Unlike a fixed rate, a variable rate fluctuates with market interest rates or central bank policy adjustments, meaning the borrower's interest payments are not fixed. When interest rates decline, a floating rate may reduce the repayment burden; conversely, when rates rise, monthly payments may also increase.

A stock split is a common capital adjustment measure used by publicly traded companies. When a company's share price rises to a high level, it may increase the number of outstanding shares through a split, reducing the per-share price to improve liquidity and investor participation. Although a stock split does not change the company's total market capitalization or the value of shareholders' holdings, it often draws significant market attention.

SPCX is a fractionalized investment product designed to track the performance of SpaceX's private-market valuation, allowing retail investors to gain indirect exposure to the value of SpaceX's private equity with a relatively low entry threshold. Since SpaceX is not publicly listed, investors cannot purchase its shares directly. Instead, SPCX provides an alternative means of participation by reflecting changes in SpaceX's private-market valuation. In addition, users may participate in selected Pre-IPO offerings, including SPCX, through Gate IPOs (IPO Access). Through its digital subscription mechanism, Gate IPOs provides investors with access to valuation opportunities associated with private companies, expanding participation in Pre-IPO assets that were traditionally available only to institutions and high-net-worth investors.

Tokenized stocks and synthetic assets both allow users to gain stock price exposure on blockchain networks, so they are often confused. However, their underlying logic is completely different. Tokenized stocks usually rely on real stock custody and use on-chain tokens to map real-world assets, while synthetic assets use collateral, oracles, and smart contracts to simulate stock price performance, and do not necessarily hold the corresponding shares.

Tokenized stocks and traditional stocks are often compared because both are linked to the value of listed company shares. The biggest difference between them lies in how assets are recorded and the infrastructure used for trading. Traditional stocks rely on brokers, exchanges, clearing institutions, and central securities depositories to complete trades and settlement, while tokenized stocks use blockchain networks to record ownership and digital asset infrastructure to support circulation.
