Gate, a global cryptocurrency trading platform, has released its Q3 2025 report. The report shows that, amidst a rebounding crypto market and stabilizing regulation, Gate, leveraging product upgrades and the continued deepening of its All in Web3 strategy, has achieved multi-dimensional growth in trading volume, ecosystem development, and global influence. During the quarter, the platform surpassed 41 million users, with both contract and spot trading volumes reaching new highs. The platform also underwent comprehensive ecosystem product upgrades and further strengthened its technology and compliance systems, firmly securing its position among the world's leading exchanges.

Trading business continues to grow, with both derivatives and spot trading reaching record highs

In the third quarter, Gate's trading volume and market share both reached record highs, with both its contract and spot businesses maintaining simultaneous growth. According to data from CoinDesk and Coingecko, Gate's derivatives trading volume ranked among the top three globally in terms of month-over-month growth in July, and surged again by nearly 100% in August, increasing its market share to 10.1%, the highest increase in the industry. The spot market also performed strongly, with its market share increasing by 2.87% since the beginning of the year, the highest increase among major global exchanges. In September alone, spot trading volume increased by 20.1%, bringing its market share to 5.47%, a new record.

The continued increase in trading activity is attributed to comprehensive upgrades to Gate's matching engine performance, optimized market-making mechanisms, and institutional funding, enabling the platform to maintain its leading position in high-frequency and professional trading scenarios. With steadily growing trading volume and an international presence, Gate has established a solid competitive advantage within the global exchange landscape.

Ecosystem construction is accelerating across the board, driven by both infrastructure and product matrix

On the ecosystem front, Gate officially launched its high-performance second-layer network, Gate Layer, this quarter, marking a strategic upgrade to the platform's infrastructure. Built on the OP Stack architecture, the network supports EVM compatibility and cross-chain interoperability. With performance exceeding 5,700 transactions per second and low costs, it provides developers and users with an efficient on-chain experience. As the sole gas token on the Gate Layer, GT further expands its application scenarios and reshapes its ecosystem value.

Leveraging Gate Layer infrastructure, Gate has launched two core innovative products: Gate Perp DEX, a decentralized perpetual contract platform, and Gate Fun, an on-chain meme token launch platform. Gate Perp DEX, with its core focus on high-performance matching and transparent on-chain clearing, creates a near-centralized DEX trading environment. To date, its trading volume has exceeded $1 billion, demonstrating robust market vitality. Gate Fun provides zero-code token issuance tools and an integrated trading system, lowering the barrier to entry for creators and users on Web3. Together, these two innovative products establish Gate's technical and ecological foundation in the decentralized space.

At the same time, Gate's incentive products, including Launchpool, Launchpad, CandyDrop, and HODLer Airdrop, have been upgraded simultaneously, driving record user engagement and on-chain activity. Launchpool has listed over 50 high-quality projects, with cumulative airdrop rewards exceeding $7.5 million; Launchpad surpassed one million participants in the third quarter. The systematic expansion of Gate's diverse ecosystem is becoming the dual engine driving its long-term growth and value accumulation.

Additionally, Gate launched GUSD, a new wealth management product. Since its launch, GUSD has experienced rapid growth, with total minting exceeding $230 million as of September, making it one of the fastest-growing, stable-yield products within the platform ecosystem. Users can hold GUSD in various scenarios, including spot trading, wealth management accounts, and Launchpool, and when they invest GUSD in other wealth management products, they can also benefit from the returns of those products, creating a multi-faceted income structure.

The security and compliance systems have been strengthened, and the reserve ratio remains at the forefront of the industry

Gate continues to maintain high standards of security and compliance. In the third quarter, the platform's total reserves reached $12.02 billion, with a total reserve ratio of 123.98%, covering over 400 user assets. Excess reserves rose to $2.32 billion, a 7.14% increase from the previous quarter. This data demonstrates that Gate maintains a high level of fund security and asset transparency, building a solid foundation of user trust.

Furthermore, the platform's compliance efforts continue to advance. Gate Technology Ltd, a Malta-based subsidiary of Gate Group, has received a MiCA license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), marking a significant milestone in Gate Group's global compliance strategy. With the approval of the Malta license, the platform has initiated the EU passporting process, accelerating its expansion across Europe and striving to become one of the region's leading crypto companies.

Financial products and institutional businesses expanded steadily, driving the upgrade of the trading system

Gate's financial management and institutional businesses achieved exceptional performance in the third quarter. Gate Earn saw an average daily participant count exceeding 360,000, with cumulative subscription volume exceeding $13 billion. Total funds reached $3.143 billion, a 46.5% increase month-over-month, setting a new all-time high. On-chain coin earning and dual-currency investment products saw significant growth, and the newly launched "Hold and Earn" feature allows users to automatically earn income on spot assets without locking up their positions, further expanding ways to increase the value of their assets.

In its institutional business, contract and spot trading volumes increased by over 30% and 40% month-over-month, respectively, with cumulative lending exceeding $10 billion. Gate also launched Gate SuperLink, the industry's first Web2/Web3 interconnection system, to bridge the gap between traditional finance and crypto assets, providing institutional clients with more efficient fund and asset management solutions.

Community and brand building deepens, and international influence continues to grow

In the third quarter, Gate continued to deepen its global community building and brand influence, strengthening user engagement and brand recognition through a combination of online and offline events. Gate participated as a Diamond Sponsor at GM Vietnam 2025, a major Southeast Asian industry event, strengthening its ties with the local community and projects. Gate was invited to attend Coinfest Asia 2025, building a bridge between local users and developers and the global ecosystem. Gate also appeared as the title sponsor at the WebX Summit in Tokyo, Japan, delivering multiple high-level speeches and side events, attracting widespread industry attention.

Additionally, Gate hosted a VIP viewing event during the Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix, further strengthening its relationship with users and partners and conveying the brand's vitality and innovative spirit. In terms of philanthropy, Gate Charity launched education and student aid programs in Benin and Vietnam, driven by its mission of "discovering the needy and bringing care," and continuing to convey the brand's warmth.

Summarize

Overall, by the third quarter of 2025, Gate achieved a systematic leap forward in its trading operations, ecosystem development, security and compliance, and globalization strategy. With the continued advancement of its "All in Web3" strategy and the comprehensive implementation of diverse applications, the platform is gradually building a complete ecosystem encompassing trading, finance, infrastructure, and community development, laying a solid foundation for the next phase of long-term, stable growth. Going forward, Gate will continue to prioritize technological innovation and user trust, driving the crypto-financial ecosystem towards greater efficiency, transparency, and inclusiveness.
