Gate, one of the world’s leading digital asset trading platforms, has released its September 2025 Transparency Report, revealing impressive growth across its core trading business, ecosystem development, brand influence, and user base. This report highlights that Gate is accelerating the execution of its “All in Web3” strategy and marks another milestone in the evolution towards a fully integrated Web3 ecosystem.
Trading volume and market share soar to all-time highs
The report notes that Gate’s strong performance in both spot and derivatives markets reflects sustained momentum in September. Gate’s spot market share increased by 2.87% since the beginning of the year, the trading volume reached $117 billion, an increase of 20.1% month-on-month, and the global spot market share rose to 5.47%. Derivatives market share rose to 11.3%, solidifying Gate’s position as the world’s second largest derivatives exchange. Spot trading volumes grew nearly 200% year-over-year (YoY) and derivatives trading soared more than 1,000% YoY, making Gate one of the fastest-growing mainstream exchanges in the world.
Meanwhile, Gate has accelerated the pace of token listings, with the number of new listings increasing by more than 200% year-on-year, enriching users’ asset choices and market diversity. Gate continues to improve its liquidity depth, product structure and global market penetration, pushing its competitiveness to new heights.
Infrastructure and ecosystem: Building a unified Web3 framework
Gate continues to expand its full-stack ecosystem, from blockchain infrastructure to on-chain applications, in line with its “All in Web3” vision.
September saw several major Web3 product launches.
Gate Layer: A high-performance layer 2 network built on top of the OP stack, fully compatible with EVM, with GateChain acting as the payment layer. Secured by GT staking, it provides a low-cost and highly efficient infrastructure for on-chain development. Gate Perp DEX: A decentralized perpetual exchange built on Gate Layer with a high-performance matching engine that supports high concurrency and low latency, delivering a trading experience comparable to top-tier CEX. Gate Fun: An on-chain launch platform focused on zero-code token creation and seamless transactions to fuel the growth of the meme economy and Web3 creator ecosystem.
At the same time, Gate’s Launchpool, Launchpad, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop programs continued to deliver excellent results. In September, Launchpool’s total airdrop rewards exceeded $3.3 million, with staked assets increasing 167% month-over-month. The HODLer Airdrop attracted over 250,000 participants and the snapshot value reached GT1.3 billion. A single Launchpad project has raised ~250 million GUSD and achieved an oversubscription rate of 23,847%. In one month, CandyDrop launched 21 high-quality projects with total compensation of over $4.62 million.
Innovation and Wealth Management: Expanding User Growth Channels
Gate also introduced customized private wealth management services for high-net-worth clients, offering cross-border asset allocation and institutional-grade custody solutions. Revenue-generating products such as Gate Earn continued their strong growth momentum. Simple Earn TVL hit an all-time high of $3.14 billion.
Additionally, Gate’s RWA-based stablecoin GUSD has gained market attention. Within two weeks of launch, GUSD’s mintage exceeded $120 million and total assets under management peaked at $300 million. Its “Stable Yield + Flexible Utility” model is redefining the stablecoin landscape.
Brand and Community: Strengthening your global presence
On the branding front, Gate has increased global recognition through high-profile campaigns and events. Gate hosted a VIP event at the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, bringing together industry leaders and global partners to celebrate Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen’s championship victory.
On building community and culture, Gate Group hosted the first session of ‘The Power of Now’ series in Dubai to explore the intersection of digital assets, AI and art, further showcasing Gate’s commitment to fostering global innovation and creativity.
On the philanthropic front, Gate Charity visited Cam Ly Children’s Home in Vietnam and donated educational supplies to 65 children, continuing its long-term mission of “aware of scarcity, coming with love.”
Research and Education: Building an Industry Knowledge Engine
Gate Learn and Gate Research continued to expand their teaching and research output.
Gate Learn published over 100 original articles in September alone, covering topics such as stablecoins, DeFi, public chains, macroeconomics, AI, NFTs, and airdrops, providing comprehensive insight into market trends and sector dynamics.
Gate Research has published multiple in-depth reports, including “Ethereum Institutional Bets Reach New Highs, Emerging Chains Rapidly Attract Capital” and “A New Era for Stablecoins,” focusing on market trends, on-chain data, and macro structure. Taken together, these efforts have systematically highlighted structural opportunities within the digital asset industry.
