The Gate contract index section has officially launched trading for 5 perpetual contracts, including US2000 (U.S. Russell 2000 Index) and HSCHKD (Hang Seng Corporate Index)

According to the official announcement, the Gate contract index area launched US2000 (US Russell 2000 Index), HSCHKD (Hang Seng Enterprise Index), TW88 (Taiwan MSCI Index), AUS200 (Australia 200 Index), and VIX (Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index) on February 4 at 12:00 (UTC+8), supporting 1 to 50 times leverage.

Gate index perpetual contracts are based on mainstream global indices and volatility indices, introducing market sentiment indicators into the cryptocurrency derivatives trading system. While maintaining the advantages of USDT settlement and 24/7 trading, it provides users with trading options that are closer to the global macro market. As an important indicator of market uncertainty, the rise and fall of VIX reflects changes in investors' expectations of risk and is often used for hedging and risk avoidance. Its launch further provides investors with more specialized trading tools, expanding cross-market trading and strategy layout space.
