In January 2026, digital asset trading platform Gate released its latest transparency report. The report shows that Gate continues to advance across key areas such as multi-asset trading, on-chain derivatives, and asset management, steadily expanding its trading structures and user use cases.
Gate is accelerating its evolution towards a comprehensive digital asset platform that integrates traditional financial assets, on-chain trading, and yield management, while maintaining the stable operation of its core crypto asset business.
On the trading side, Gate’s derivatives market share rose to 11%, making it one of the centralized exchanges with the largest quarter-on-quarter growth.
CryptoRank noted in its annual report that Gate’s perpetual futures trading volume increased from $911.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025 to $2.42 trillion in the third quarter, and remained at a high level of $1.93 trillion in the fourth quarter. Additionally, Gate was recognized as some of the exchanges with the fastest growing contract volume in 2025.
In the traditional financial assets segment, Gate TradFi currently covers asset classes such as metals, foreign exchange, indices, commodities, and selected popular stocks. Since its launch, the cumulative trading volume has exceeded $20 billion.
These features are fully integrated into the Gate app and web platform, allowing users to trade across multiple markets within an integrated account system using USDT as margin. As demand for precious metals and macro-related assets increases, multi-asset price trading and intermarket hedging are emerging as new growth drivers.
Beyond trading and asset allocation, Gate is actively introducing AI capabilities into high-frequency user decision-making scenarios. Launched in January 2026, GateAI focuses on asset analysis and market interpretation, supporting market browsing and candlestick analysis through a global floating interface and contextual prompts.
In the first month, GateAI achieved approximately 88% user satisfaction and began to be integrated into users’ daily trading decision-making workflows.
At the same time, Gate continues to enhance its decentralized derivatives trading capabilities. In January, Gate DEX completed a brand and experience upgrade, and Gate Web3 was officially rebranded as Gate DEX. The platform now supports one-click login via account or wallet, significantly lowering the barrier to on-chain transactions.
Perp DEX records approximately 440,000 cumulative transactions per month, reflecting a significant increase in on-chain perpetual trading activity. Additionally, activity on the gate layer network continues to increase, with over 100 million on-chain addresses and monthly transaction volume increasing by over 22% month-over-month. The frequency of user interactions and on-chain activities continued to be enhanced, providing fundamental support for multi-chain asset circulation and ecosystem application deployment.
In asset management and structured products, multiple Gate product lines advanced in parallel. By the end of January, staking had recorded a total value locked (TVL) of $1.301 billion, with a peak of $1.512 billion in the same month. ETH staking amount reached nearly 170,000 ETH, a new all-time high.
Leveraged ETF tokens recorded a trading volume of over 6.7 billion USDT in January, an increase of 32.6% month-on-month. Simple Earn has over 2.5 billion USDT in cumulative subscriptions and averages over 350,000 users per day. BTC and GT holdings continue to grow, demonstrating sustained user demand for core assets and more stable allocation strategies amid market volatility.
From a security and transparency perspective, Gate continued to strengthen its preliminary and verification mechanisms. In January, the overall reserve ratio rose to 125%, bringing total reserves to approximately $9.478 billion. The reserve ratio of BTC has reached 140.69%, while the reserves of major assets such as ETH, USDT, and GT are all over 100%, keeping Gate’s asset backing and risk buffering capacity at industry-leading levels.
On the branding and community front, Gate continued to strengthen long-term connections with creators, users, and organizations through content system upgrades and high-quality event management. The platform, centered around Gate Square and Gate Live, has further refined content incentives and conversion paths, facilitating deeper integration between high-quality content, trading activity, and ecosystem collaboration.
Meanwhile, through private organizational interactions, annual community summits, and other multi-layered initiatives, Gate has expanded its professional dialogue and brand influence, further strengthening its position as a leading comprehensive crypto platform in terms of user ecosystem engagement and industry participation.
Overall, Gate is making progress across multiple business lines simultaneously. By continuously expanding its asset scope, product formats, and technological capabilities, the platform is gradually building a more structured and synergistic trading and asset management ecosystem.
As market conditions and user needs continue to evolve, Gate’s long-term development path as a comprehensive digital asset platform becomes increasingly certain, with even greater potential to further expand the boundaries of application scenarios and ecosystems.
