Gate Publishes April 2026 Transparency Report: AI, RWA, and Multi-Asset Synergy Accelerate Global Financial Infrastructure Development

Gate, a leading global crypto asset trading platform, has released its April 2026 Transparency Report. The report indicates that, driven by multiple factors including the expansion of its multi-asset ecosystem, upgrades to AI capabilities, and the advancement of global branding, the platform's overall business has maintained steady growth and is accelerating its evolution into a comprehensive digital financial infrastructure platform.

From key operational metrics, Gate currently serves over 53 million users and lists more than 4,600 assets, continuously expanding its multi-asset trading system. According to third-party data, it has listed over 430 TradFi CFD assets and more than 70 tokenized stocks. By integrating spot, derivatives, and RWA products through a unified account system, its cross-market liquidity aggregation capabilities continue to strengthen.

The deflationary mechanism for the platform's native token, GT, has also progressed steadily. In Q1 2026, Gate burned approximately 2.5577 million GT, valued at over $20.68 million. The cumulative total of burned tokens has exceeded 187 million, representing 62.46% of the initial supply, with a cumulative burn value of $1.382 billion. This long-term, stable burn mechanism consistently reinforces GT's scarcity and underlying value.

On the business front, multiple product lines at Gate achieved synergistic growth in April. Institutional business CrossEx saw funds and trading volume increase by 1769% and 2120% month-over-month, respectively; options trading volume grew by 55%; and on-chain, the Gate Layer network processed over 36.3 million transactions, a month-over-month increase of more than 11%.

The performance of on-platform assets and wealth management products also remained robust. The stablecoin GUSD's market cap grew to over $190 million. Against a backdrop of gradually recovering market risk appetite, the platform's yield-generating products continued to attract capital inflows.

On the AI front, Gate completed the V3 architecture upgrade for its AI system in April, constructing a multi-entry product system of "Web+App+Bot+Standalone Sites" and launching features like in-depth research and intelligent push notifications, transitioning AI from a tool-based application towards an active decision-making assistant.

Notably, brand building emerged as a key highlight of this report. Celebrating its 13th anniversary, Gate held a series of major events in Hong Kong, including the "Racing the Future" cross-sector exhibition in Victoria Harbour, the 13th-anniversary Blue Carpet Ceremony, and the GATE GALA 13th-anniversary gala dinner. The Victoria Harbour exhibition drew over 10,000 visitors on its first day, becoming a city-wide hotspot. The anniversary dinner brought together over 300 institutional representatives and industry professionals for in-depth discussions on trends in AI, RWA, and multi-assets.

In a series of public speeches and addresses, Gate's founder and CEO, Dr. Han, repeatedly articulated his views on the industry. In his anniversary open letter, he stated that the crypto industry is shifting from being narrative-driven to infrastructure-driven, emphasizing that the core of future competition will move from products to system capabilities. At the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, he further proposed the concept of "Move Everything On-Chain," arguing that the key dividing line in future finance will no longer be between traditional and crypto, but whether assets are on-chain. He also added that assets not on-chain will gradually be priced as inefficient, and RWA will become the core pathway connecting traditional finance and the crypto world.

During an exchange event at the University of Hong Kong, Dr. Han approached the topic from a competitive logic perspective, stating that the crypto industry is essentially an asymmetric game of resources and time, highlighting the importance of building a first-mover advantage in uncertain cycles. In media interviews, he also pointed out that the industry's main themes over the next 1-2 years will center on the convergence of RWA, AI, and multi-asset ecosystems, and believes that AI is incrementally evolving from an auxiliary tool into a significant participant in trading decisions.

Concurrently, Gate is continuously strengthening its global brand presence. In April, it officially became the official sleeve sponsor of the Inter Milan U23 youth team and continues to deepen its strategic cooperation with top-tier international sports IPs like the F1 Red Bull Racing team, leveraging sports IP to expand global user reach and rejuvenate its brand image. Multiple offline events and cross-sector collaborations have further enhanced its ability to connect the Web3 and mainstream cultures.

In summary, Gate is accelerating its upgrade from a trading platform to a comprehensive digital financial ecosystem, using its multi-asset system as a foundation and AI & on-chain infrastructure as core engines. Moving forward, Gate will continue to deepen its multi-asset and on-chain integration capabilities around an infrastructure-driven approach, promote the synergistic development of RWA, AI, and TradFi, and further build an efficient global network for asset circulation and value connection.
