Gate, one of the world’s leading digital asset exchanges, has released its December 2025 Transparency Report. The report highlights the platform’s coordinated progress across multiple dimensions, including deal size, Web3 ecosystem development, and global compliance expansion, demonstrating strong business resilience and a systematic approach to long-term growth.
On the trading side, Gate’s spot and derivatives businesses continue to rank among industry leaders. Gate’s global spot market share growth consistently ranks in the top three and maintains a leading position among major exchanges.
In the derivatives space, Gate’s market share rose to approximately 11% from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, making it the fastest growing trading platform during the year. The continued stability of trading depth and liquidity also reflects the active participation of institutional investors and professional trading capital, providing solid support for the platform’s core business.
From a Web3 and product ecosystem perspective, Gate continues to drive user engagement and capital retention through coordinated development of multiple product lines.
During December, incentives and launch mechanisms such as Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, CandyDrop, and Launchpad remained active, with nearly 30 projects launched in one month and total rewards exceeding $3.5 million. In terms of product experience, the Gate app has completed an updated international visual design and interaction flow.
The platform also announced its 2025 Annual User Report, which reviews user participation throughout the year with multi-dimensional data, reflecting the continued expansion of Gate’s user base and trading activity. Meanwhile, the number of on-chain addresses on Gate Layer has surpassed 100 million with multiple infrastructure upgrades that facilitate continuous iteration of decentralized applications such as Gate Perp DEX and Gate Fun.
In particular, Gate Perp DEX has exceeded $10 billion in monthly trading volume for two consecutive months, demonstrating strong liquidity capabilities in the on-chain perpetual futures sector.
In the asset management and yield sector, Gate continues to expand its staking, simple earn, quantitative and structured product matrices. In December, GUSD’s total mintage once again exceeded $200 million and the number of leveraged ETF tokens increased to 248, making Gate one of the exchanges with the most comprehensive coverage in this category.
In parallel, newly launched structured derivatives such as “Smart Leverage” respond to user demand for more robust strategies amidst increased market volatility through enhanced risk management mechanisms.
On the global compliance front, Gate Technology FZE, a Gate Group business, has officially begun operations, marking another major milestone in Gate Group’s ongoing global compliance strategy. Previously, Gate Technology FZE obtained a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license under the supervision of the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and was authorized to provide virtual currency spot exchange services.
To date, multiple gate entities have obtained or completed regulatory registrations, license applications, permits and approvals in jurisdictions including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia and Dubai.
At the brand and community level, Gate continues to expand across different scenarios such as sports, education, and public welfare. The platform partnered with F1’s Oracle Red Bull Racing to launch the “IN THE MOMENT” digital collector’s series and host VIP viewing events around F1 races, further strengthening Web3’s connection to mainstream culture.
At the same time, Gate has strengthened its long-term public image in the industry through university visits, research and educational content, and public welfare initiatives.
In December, Gate received multiple awards from international media and industry organizations. The platform was named “Crypto Industry Icon” at the 2025 Entrepreneur Middle East Leadership Awards and ranked #1 as “Perfect for High-Liquidity Spot Markets” on BeInCrypto’s Best Cryptocurrency Exchanges for Spot Trading.
Additionally, at the inaugural BeInCrypto 100 Awards, Gate won both “Best Centralized Exchange” and “Best Brand of the Year,” and its venture arm Gate Ventures won “Best Investment Institution of the Year,” making Gate one of the most recognized platforms of the year for innovation and service excellence.
Overall, Gate continued to strengthen its evolution from a traditional trading platform to a comprehensive Web3 infrastructure provider in December 2025 through concerted advances in its trading business, Web3 infrastructure, and compliance framework.
As the industry moves toward further maturity and differentiation, this steady, systematic approach could become a key source of long-term competitiveness for leading platforms.
