Gate's contract index zone has launched trading for five perpetual contracts, including the US2000 (Russell 2000 Index) and HSCHKD (Hang Seng Enterprises Index).

According to Mars Finance, the Gate.com contract index zone launched its first offerings on February 4th at 12:00 (UTC+8): US2000 (Russell 2000 Index), HSCHKD (Hang Seng Enterprises Index), TW88 (Taiwan MSCI Index), AUS200 (Australia 200 Index), and VIX (Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index), supporting leverage from 1x to 50x. Gate.com's perpetual index contracts use mainstream global indices and volatility indices as underlying assets, introducing market sentiment indicators into the crypto 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 the VIX reflects changes in investors' expectations of risk and is often used for hedging and risk management. Its launch further provides investors with more professional trading tools, expanding the scope for cross-market trading and strategy deployment.
