We are excited to share that USDe will be widely integrated throughout Gate.io.

The integration will include the following features:

• USDe/USDT spot pair.

• USDe as rewarding derivatives margin collateral enabling users to earn rewards while trading perpetuals & options.

• USDe as an “Earn” product.

• Native staking of USDe for sUSDe within the Gate.io platform.

USDe as Rewarding Derivatives Collateral

Gate.io users using USDT & USDC to margin derivatives positions presently don’t earn any rewards with the value accruing solely to the issuers. This feature enables Gate.io users to receive up to 45% APR while using USDe throughout Gate.io.

Rewards on USDe greatly enhance the capital efficiency for all Gate.io users. The ability to margin derivatives positions across multiple centralized exchanges, using a single rewarding stable asset, USDe, unlocks many potential trading strategies & ideas.

We believe users earning rewards on stable margin assets will fundamentally reshape trading in the space.

Native Staking of USDe for sUSDe

Gate.io users will be able to natively stake their USDe for sUSDe all within the Gate.io platform.

This represents a first in the space enabling users of a centralized exchange to interact directly with DeFi, and to earn on-chain rewards, without having to leave the safety of the Gate.io ecosystem.
