Gate has completed a major upgrade to its cross-exchange trading capabilities and has officially opened the CrossEx feature application portal. This upgrade focuses on key demands in multi-exchange trading environments, enhancing margin flexibility, capital utilization efficiency, and strategy execution performance to further improve overall cross-exchange trading efficiency.
In addition, Gate will soon introduce the CrossEx Trading Competition, encouraging API traders to fully leverage CrossEx capabilities and explore more advanced cross-exchange trading strategies.

### **I. CrossEx Trading Upgrade: Introduction of Individual Exchange Margin Mode** 
To better address users’ needs for capital efficiency, fee optimization, and diversified strategy execution, Gate has significantly enhanced the CrossEx margin model with the following upgrades:

#### 1. **Cross-Exchange Margin Mode (Existing Mode)**

* USDT can be shared as margin across Gate, Binance, and OKX.
* Supports unified margin management across exchanges, enabling flexible capital allocation and improved execution efficiency for cross-exchange strategies.

#### 2. **Individual Exchange Margin Mode (New Mode)**

* Each exchange now supports multiple cryptocurrencies as margin on a per-exchange basis.
* Supported margin assets include: **BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, XRP, BNB, SOL** , and more.
* Independent risk control and margin management for each asset.
* Supports both **spot and perpetual futures trading** .
* Ideal for multi-asset strategies, single-exchange hedging, and independent risk management scenarios.

Additionally, users can flexibly choose between **cross-exchange margin mode** and **individual exchange margin mode** through different sub-accounts (different UIDs), enabling more granular capital allocation and risk management.

#### **Core Value of CrossEx**

* **Significantly Improved Capital Efficiency** Multi-asset margin support combined with cross-exchange margin sharing reduces idle capital and maximizes fund utilization.
* **Enhanced Strategy Flexibility** Supports a wider range of strategy structures and adapts to diverse market conditions.
* **Simplified Capital Management** More intuitive and efficient fund management reduces manual capital transfers and operational risk.

### **II. CrossEx Application Portal Now Live**
With the continued enhancement of CrossEx capabilities, Gate has launched the CrossEx activation page. Users can now submit applications directly through the official portal to enable CrossEx access for strategy deployment and trading.
