Gate Releases Q3 Transparency Report: Global User Base Surpasses 51 Million, Trading Volume and Ecosystem Development Grow in Synergy

Gate has released its March 2026 Transparency Report. Based on third-party data and platform disclosures, Gate is building a multi-asset-driven growth model through the synergistic development of derivatives, TradFi, and on-chain ecosystems, continuously strengthening its leading position among global trading platforms.

The report shows that Gate continues to enhance its core trading capabilities. According to CoinDesk data, its derivatives market share has risen to 12.2%, reaching a record high, with monthly growth ranking among the top in the industry; meanwhile, the platform's liquidity has consistently ranked among the top three globally, with its 24-hour spot trading volume ranking second globally. In terms of user base, the platform's registered users have exceeded 51 million, with trading depth and activity growing simultaneously. The spot market covers over 4,500 assets, indicating a continuous expansion of market breadth.

Structurally, TradFi business emerged as the most significant growth variable this month. Data shows that the daily trading peak for Gate's TradFi segment surpassed $20 billion, covering over 350 assets across categories such as metals, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities, with 174 new assets added during the month. Supported by multi-asset offerings and high-leverage mechanisms, this business is rapidly becoming a crucial support point for the platform's liquidity and trading volume, also reflecting the increasing demand for cross-market asset allocation among users.

In terms of on-chain ecosystem, Gate also maintains high activity. In March, the number of on-chain transactions on Gate Layer increased by over 14% month-over-month, reaching approximately 32.6 million. With the optimization of infrastructure performance and the expansion of application scenarios, on-chain transaction and interaction volumes continue to rise, further enhancing its competitiveness in the decentralized trading space.

At the product and capital absorption level, multiple business lines at Gate achieved synergistic growth. For wealth management products, Simple Earn and On-Chain Earn saw dual growth in users and capital scale despite market volatility, with On-Chain Earn's BTC and ETH holdings reaching record highs of 3,084 BTC and 175,700 ETH, respectively. ETF business transaction volume exceeded 18 billion USDT in March, with the overall scale continuing to expand. Additionally, incentive products such as Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop effectively drove user participation and capital inflows through airdrops and yield mechanisms, forming a positive cycle between trading and capital.

Notably, around its Intelligent Web3 strategy, Gate is gradually building an AI product system covering Gate for AI, GateClaw, GateAI, GateRouter, and others, accelerating the integration of AI technology into its trading ecosystem. During the reporting period, Gate AI has completed product deployment across Web, macOS, and Windows platforms, covering over 80 application scenarios, including market analysis, strategy assistance, and research support. With the introduction of multimodal interaction and Deep Research capabilities, AI is gradually penetrating high-frequency trading and investment research processes, becoming a key direction for platform capability upgrades.

In institutional business, Gate also demonstrates strong competitiveness. In the evaluation by the authoritative crypto industry media BeInCrypto for its "2026 Best Institutional Crypto Trading Platform Rankings," Gate's institutional business was rated as the "Best Institutional Trading Platform," ranking first overall. The platform, relying on low-latency matching (approximately 2 milliseconds), deep liquidity, and a multi-asset trading system, continues to attract professional institutions such as hedge funds and market makers. Simultaneously, Gate's institutional services, through the SuperLink cross-market account system and third-party custody partnerships, have further improved capital efficiency and security.

In terms of security and transparency, Gate continues to strengthen its reserve mechanism. According to its published March reserve report, the platform's overall reserve coverage ratio reached 122%, significantly higher than the industry benchmark, with a BTC reserve ratio as high as 147%, maintaining excess reserves for multiple asset types. Furthermore, in the exchange transparency rankings released by RootData, Gate ranked second globally, reflecting its comprehensive advantages in transparency and liquidity metrics.

In brand and ecosystem development, Gate continues to enhance its global influence. During March, the platform collaborated with the Red Bull Racing team to host a viewing event for the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, strengthening connections with partners through high-profile activities. Concurrently, community activities and content ecosystems are also expanding. The Gate Blog published over 1,100 pieces of content in a single month, while the Research Institute and Academy continued to output in-depth analysis on AI, RWA, and macro markets, strengthening user education and information service capabilities.

Overall, Gate is evolving from a single trading platform into a multi-asset, cross-market comprehensive financial services ecosystem. With the further integration of derivatives, TradFi, and on-chain businesses, along with the continuous iteration of AI and quantitative capabilities, its advantages in trading efficiency, capital absorption, and user engagement depth are expected to expand further. Against the backdrop of intensifying global market competition, this multi-business synergistic development model further reinforces the platform's scale and structural advantages.
