This quarter showed robust progress, with core metrics hitting new highs. Security enhancements, product expansion, and increased trading volumes demonstrate that global strategies are delivering results. The report underscores a solid and growing market presence.

Trading Business Growth

User activity and trading volume rose significantly, with futures trading volume up 31% compared to the previous quarter. Over 200 new tokens were listed – providing users with a wider range of options.

Campaigns like the “Refer to Earn” program helped drive user acquisition, combining social media engagement with interactive growth initiatives.

Strong Tokenomics

The native token, GT, saw strong performance, reaching an all-time high of $25.96 on January 25 – a 70% year-to-date increase. GT plays a central role on GateChain, offering benefits like LaunchPool airdrops, mining rewards, and staking incentives.

With a deflationary burn mechanism in place since 2019, the total supply has been reduced by about 60%. In total, 177,089,412.23 GT has been burned, equivalent to approximately $408 million – reinforcing long-term token value.

Enhanced Security and Reserves

User security remains a top priority. As of January 17, 2025, total reserves reached $10.328 billion. This puts Gate among the top four globally. With a reserve ratio of 128.58%, users benefit from $2.296 billion in excess reserves – well above industry standards.

The company also made a strategic move in Japan by acquiring a licensed exchange, underscoring its commitment to localized compliance and growth.

Launchpool Upgrades

Launchpool saw major upgrades and hosted over 140 projects this quarter. More than 90 free airdrops were offered, valued at over $5.2 million, while 70+ mining projects distributed $9.2 million in rewards.

New tools like a project search feature and intelligent strategy filters allow users to identify optimal mining plans in minutes. The HODLer Airdrop lowered the entry requirement to just 1 GT, with potential returns reaching 43.94% annually.

Gate Pilot and Meme Tokens

Gate Pilot crossed the 1,000-token mark, with nearly 400 new additions this quarter. The platform now supports over 10 public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base.

New features like “Logo Mode” and the Meme Gem Index help users track high-potential tokens. Partnerships with MemeCity and MemeCore led to successful offline events and greater community engagement.

Institutional Growth and Infrastructure Upgrades

Institutional services showed major gains, with higher futures and brokerage trading volumes. Infrastructure upgrades led to over a 50% reduction in latency, improving both spot and futures trading experiences.

The new Fireblocks Off-Exchange solution offers institutional clients more flexibility in fund management. Joint marketing campaigns with 20+ partners have grown the professional client base significantly.

Quantitative and Copy Trading Success

Copy trading volume surged by 780%, aided by the Prometheus risk control system. One standout trader achieved an 890x yield. Automated bot strategies, including Ultra AI, generated over $500 million in revenue.
