Gate Q1 2025 Transparency Report: Sustained Leadership in Crypto Markets with Multiple Metrics Hitting New Highs

April 10 -Panama – The Q1 2025 Transparency Report from Gate, a leading global digital asset platform, highlights extensive advancements in a number of commercial domains. Its strong growth momentum and firmly established market base were demonstrated by the fact that core metrics hit all-time highs, security infrastructure was completely upgraded, product offerings greatly increased, and worldwide strategies quickened.

Trading Business Surge: Futures Trading Volume Up 31% QoQ

In terms of overall user growth and trade volume achievements, Gate maintained an exemplary first quarter in the year 2025. The performance shown by a widening user base has enthused a growing user population with market enthusiasm and sustained positive growth momentum.

Futures trading recorded a pronounced growth curve, with considerable increases in both the sheer number of traders and total traded volume. The quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) average in futures trading volume has increased around 31%.

In addition, more than 200 new tokens were listed on the trading platform for Spot Trading. Gate is establishing its lead in asset selection and listing efficiency by giving users an increasingly wider array of higher-quality investment choices.

Refer to Earn is a program initiated by Gate, which combines social media and participatory campaigns for the purposes of acquiring users and propelling energy in trading activities, hence enabling the community to grow sustainably.

Strong Tokenomics: GT Price Hits Historic High of $25.96

GT, the native token of Gate, excelled in Q1 2025 when it reached an all-time high of $25.96 per token on January 25, after having increased its year-to-date performance by 70%. GT is the native utility and gas token of GateChain, which provides the fundamental transactional infrastructural backbone of blockchain operations. It further affords its holders exclusive access to Launch Pool airdrops, mining rewards, and staking rewards.

The native token GT was launched along with GateChain in 2019. It has maintained a deflationary burning mechanism such that total supply was reduced from 3oo million to about sixty percent. So far, this aspect emphasized Gate’s commitment to deflation tokenomics. Holding GT longs strengthens the value proposition for such assets. Such a fact shows that 177089412.23 GT has been burned, having an average total burn value of about $408,270,578.

Security First: Total Reserves Exceed $10.328 Billion

Gate remains steadfast in safeguarding user assets and information security, further enhancing reserve transparency and platform security. As of January 17, 2025, Gate.io’s total reserves reached $10.328 billion, ranking Top 4 globally among crypto platforms. The reserve ratio stood at 128.58%, exceeding the 100% industry benchmark. Excess reserves totaled $2.296 billion, providing robust protection for user funds.

Gate attached great importance to advancing its global compliance framework, including the acquisition of Coin Master, a licensed exchange in Japan, through one of its entities, further expanding its localized business in the Japanese market.

Launchpool Upgrade: 140+ Projects Launched with $14M+ Rewards

In Q1 2025, Gate Launchpool (formerly Startup Mining) became a premier platform for new token launches. It hosted over 140 projects, including more than 90 free airdrops with a total value exceeding $5.2 million. And the platform launched over 70 mining projects distributing more than $9.2 million in rewards.

The platform introduced a project search function and intelligent strategy filter, enabling users to match optimal mining plans within three minutes. The HODLer Airdrop program lowered its entry threshold to 1 GT, delivering an average annualized return of 43.94%. Demonstrating its agility in responding to market trends, on the listing day of the trending token TRUMP, mining was activated immediately, and stake volume surpassed $25 million within 24 hours, attracting significant user participation and fostering a win-win environment between the platform and project.

Gate Pilot Listed Over 1,000 Tokens, Capturing Multiple High-Yield Memes

Leveraging its first-mover advantage and continuous innovation in the Meme sector, Gate Pilot has further solidified its leading position in the field. This quarter, Gate Pilot successfully integrated more than 10 major public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. Nearly 400 tokens were listed this quarter, bringing the total number of listed tokens to over 1,000. Gate Pilot maintains a leading position in the industry and offers users a richer and more diverse range of investment options.

Meanwhile, innovative tools such as “Logo Mode” and Meme Gem Index were launched, significantly enhancing users’ ability to identify tokens and market trends while lowering the barriers to Meme trading.

With its fast listing mechanism, Gate Pilot helped users capture multiple high-yield projects ahead of the market, including quality Meme tokens like Kekius (55x), Trump (45x), YZY (46x), and Mubarak (28x). In addition, the platform partnered with projects such as MemeCity and MemeCore, actively participating in offline industry events to strengthen its leading position in the Meme sector.

Strong Institutional Business Performance and Continuous Infrastructure Upgrades

Hence, big milestones for Gate’s institutional business were achieved in trading volume and ecosystem development. Trading volumes saw a notable increase in the futures and brokerage business for institutional clients. With improvement in trading infrastructure and market depth, latency was reduced by over 2 times, enhancing users’ trading efficiency significantly. Also, better futures liquidity, with an increasing number of spot and futures market makers, was observed.

Additionally, Gate introduced the new Fireblocks Off-Exchange solution, offering institutional clients more flexible fund management options. Through joint marketing campaigns with over 20 partners, Gate further expanded its professional client base and strengthened the building of its premium user community, further consolidating Gate’s leading position in the global cryptocurrency field.

Significant Growth in Quantitative Investment, Copy Trading Volume Soared 780%

This quarter, Gate achieved remarkable growth in copy trading, bot strategies, and ETF products. In terms of copy trading, the launch of the Prometheus automatic risk control system created a safer trading environment for users; spot copy trading volume surged by 780%, and the highest yield from a leading user reached 890x, offering users opportunities for excess returns.

The robot products generated more than $500 million cumulative trading revenue for users by continuous optimization of the Ultra AI strategy and intelligent algorithms. The launch of new BotsLive streaming columns accompanied by weekly strategy recommendations sent an injection into the users’ engagement jump: new strategy creation increased by 404% quarter by quarter, and creation of strategies by increasing users went up by 193%.

ETF products also did well. The platform now has over 200 ETF leveraged tokens in supporting them, thus keeping its leading position in the industry. The platform recorded a trading volume of 40% growth in ETF trading for the third quarter, while the number of users increased by 197%.

Partnering with Top Players to Build Global Blockchain Influence

In the first quarter of 2025, Gate made simultaneous advances in global brand expansion and blockchain investment. Gate.io announced its official sponsorship of the Oracle Red Bull Racing team in F1, initiating a multi-year strategic partnership. The strategic alliance epitomizes far more than the union of two industry leaders; it signifies the transfer of blockchain technology from the racetrack to the world stage, broadening concepts of Web3 and Digital Finance to wider communities through an internationally recognized sporting platform. Meanwhile, Gate Ventures further extended its horizon for blockchain investment by joining all the other members of the newly formed Morph Venture Capital Collective alliance.

In addition, Gate Ventures invested $20 million in the BNB Incubation Alliance (BIA), jointly initiated by BNB Chain and Binance Labs, demonstrating its firm commitment to advancing the Web3 ecosystem and nurturing the next generation of blockchain innovation projects. By empowering projects with capital, resources, and networks, Gate is taking concrete actions to help bring blockchain technology into the mainstream.
