Gains Network Reviews
Synthetic leveraged trading on crypto, forex, commodities and equities — the widest market list in this comparison, with extreme leverage tiers.
Gains Network Rating
Our Opinion
Gains Network runs gTrade, a platform that stands well apart from pure crypto perpetuals. Trading is synthetic: no underlying assets are custodied, only price differences are tracked. That allows a market breadth unmatched in this comparison — more than 270 pairs across crypto, forex, commodities and equities.
Leverage tiers are correspondingly extreme: up to 500x in crypto and up to 1000x in forex. Figures at that level are practically unmanageable for retail traders, with liquidation thresholds a fraction of a percent away. Collateral can be posted in DAI, USDC or WETH. The protocol runs on Polygon, Arbitrum and Base, with indices additionally on Solana.
The synthetic model carries a structural risk factor: prices come from oracle feeds and the counterparty is ultimately the protocol's liquidity vault. For users seeking forex or commodity leverage without a brokerage account, gTrade remains one of the few serious on-chain venues. The platform holds no EU authorisation; perpetuals sit outside MiCA in any case, and tax reporting rests entirely with the user.

User Experiences
