In 2025, Gate, a leading global digital asset trading platform, released its 2025 annual report. The report shows that the platform’s global user base has reached nearly 50 million.
Both spot and derivatives trading activity increased, with overall market share maintaining a top-tier global position. Gate’s development focus is gradually shifting from rapid expansion to mature growth, centered on user scale, liquidity depth, and systematic capabilities.
Gate’s market performance continued to strengthen in 2025. According to CoinDesk’s monthly reports, Gate’s overall market share rose by 1.78% year-over-year, ranking second globally. Spot trading saw multiple monthly record highs, with peak monthly volume exceeding $160 billion, lifting its global spot market share to 6.04%.
In derivatives, Gate’s contract market share increased to 10.6%, making it the platform with the largest year-to-date growth in derivatives market share.
Beyond trading, Gate’s yield-oriented products also maintained stable growth throughout 2025. As the platform’s core yield section, Gate Earn’s Simple Earn product launched 305 new projects throughout the year, and the total number of projects currently under investment exceeds 1,000, with recorded cumulative subscriptions of over $41 billion.
Staking products were further expanded, bringing the total supported assets to 40. Gate ETF added 244 tokens for trading, making it one of the mainstream exchanges with the most support for leveraged tokens.
Options trading remained in the global top five, with daily trading volume exceeding hundreds of millions of U.S. Dollars and open interest increasing approximately 21-fold compared to the beginning of the year.
Gate’s token launch and user incentive ecosystem also showed robust performance. Gate Alpha maintained hundreds of new token launches monthly, with single-account cumulative airdrop rewards reaching $7,400 for the year. Gate Launchpool launched over 200 projects in total, with cumulative staking exceeding $30 billion.
Gate Launchpad saw cumulative subscription exceeding $2.1 billion, distributing more than $16 million in airdrop rewards. HODLer Airdrop launched 208 new projects, distributing over $8.5 million in rewards, while CandyDrop attracted nearly 6 million participants, with an annual prize pool of close to $18 million. These metrics reflect Gate’s continuous capability in user incentivization and asset retention mechanisms.
In 2025, Gate accelerated the implementation of its “All in Web3” strategy, gradually forming a product matrix centered on decentralized trading, on-chain infrastructure, and incentive systems.
Web3 products, including Gate Perp DEX, Gate Swap, and Meme Go, recorded a cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion, with over 6.5 million on-chain transactions throughout the year. Gate Perp DEX alone exceeded $24 billion in trading volume within three months of launch, establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing infrastructures in decentralized perpetual contracts.
Additionally, Gate’s self-developed high-performance Layer 2 network, Gate Layer, now supports over 100 million on-chain addresses, with monthly transactions in the tens of millions, demonstrating its capacity for high-frequency usage scenarios.
Gate has consistently adhered to the principles of “security, transparency, and compliance,” providing users with a trusted trading environment through 100% proof-of-reserves and a robust risk control system. By October 2025, Gate’s total reserves reached $11.676 billion, with a reserve ratio of 124%, covering nearly 500 assets.
In terms of global compliance, multiple Gate entities have obtained or completed regulatory registration, licensing, or approvals in jurisdictions including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, and Dubai.
Alongside business and infrastructure development, Gate completed several key branding and global initiatives in 2025. Coinciding with its 12th anniversary, Gate upgraded its brand system, launched a new international domain, Gate.com, unified visual identity and branding, and officially adopted the Chinese name “大门,” reflecting a culturally inclusive expression of its role as a gateway connecting global users to the crypto world.
Gate also strengthened the connection between Web3 and the mainstream world through cross-industry collaborations and offline activations. By serving as an official sponsor of Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1 and an official sleeve sponsor of Inter FC Internazionale Milano, Gate brought its brand into high-exposure real-world scenarios.
Around sports events, it extended engagement through digital collectibles, themed hospitality, and immersive offline activities, enhancing brand recognition and emotional resonance.
In parallel, Gate actively participated in major international industry events, including Consensus Hong Kong, WebX Summit, and Coinfest Asia, sponsored the Token of Love Music Festivals, and engaged in community activities and charitable projects. These efforts aim to expand Web3 beyond the trading platform into broader real-world applications and public value networks.
Overall, Gate made substantial progress in 2025 across key dimensions such as user scale, trading depth, and ecosystem coordination, reflecting its comprehensive competitiveness as a leading global digital asset trading platform. Amid a clearer global regulatory environment and intensifying industry competition, Gate will continue advancing the “All in Web3” strategy through compliance, technological investment, and diversified business layouts, building a safer, more efficient, and open digital asset and Web3 ecosystem for users worldwide.
