In January 2026, digital asset trading platform Gate released its latest Transparency Report. The report shows that Gate continues to advance across key areas, including multi-asset trading, on-chain derivatives, and asset management, with its trading structure and user use cases steadily expanding.
While maintaining the stable operation of its core crypto asset business, Gate is accelerating its evolution toward a comprehensive digital asset platform that integrates traditional financial assets, on-chain trading, and yield management.
On the trading front, Gate’s derivatives market share has risen to 11%, marking it as one of the centralized exchanges with the largest period-on-period increase.
CryptoRank noted in its annual report that Gate’s perpetual futures trading volume grew from $911.2 billion in Q1 2025 to $2.42 trillion in Q3, remaining at a high level of $1.93 trillion in Q4. Additionally, Gate was recognized as the exchange with some of the fastest contract trading volume growth in 2025.
In the traditional financial assets segment, Gate TradFi now covers asset classes including metals, foreign exchange, indices, commodities, and selected popular equities. Since the launch, cumulative trading volume has exceeded $20 billion.
These features have been fully integrated into the Gate App and Web platform, allowing users to trade across multiple markets within a unified account system using USDT as margin. As demand for precious metals and macro-related assets increases, multi-asset price trading and cross-market 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 its first month, GateAI achieved a user satisfaction rate of approximately 88% and began to integrate into users’ daily trading decision workflows.
At the same time, Gate continues to strengthen its decentralized derivatives trading capabilities. In January, Gate DEX completed a brand and experience upgrade, with Gate Web3 officially rebranded as Gate DEX. The platform now supports one-click login via account or wallet, significantly lowering the barrier to on-chain trading.
Perp DEX recorded nearly 440,000 cumulative transactions monthly, reflecting a notable increase in on-chain perpetual trading activity. In addition, activity on the Gate Layer network continued to rise, with on-chain addresses surpassing 100 million and monthly transaction volume increasing by more than 22% month-on-month. User interaction and on-chain activity frequency continued to strengthen, providing foundational 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 recorded a total value locked (TVL) of $1.301 billion, having peaked at $1.512 billion during the month. ETH staking volume reached nearly 170,000 ETH, setting a new historical high.
Leveraged ETF tokens recorded trading volume of over 6.7 billion USDT in January, representing a month-on-month increase of 32.6%. Simple Earn saw cumulative subscriptions exceeding 2.5 billion USDT, with an average of more than 350,000 participating users per day. Holdings of BTC and GT continued to grow, indicating sustained user demand for core assets and more stable allocation strategies amid market volatility.
In terms of security and transparency, Gate continued to strengthen its reserve and verification mechanisms. In January, the overall reserve ratio increased to 125%, with total reserves valued at approximately $9.478 billion. BTC reserves reached a ratio of 140.69%, while reserves for major assets, including ETH, USDT, and GT all remained above 100%, keeping Gate’s asset backing and risk buffer capacity at an industry-leading level.
On the branding and community side, Gate continued to reinforce long-term connections with creators, users, and institutions through content system upgrades and high-quality event operations. Centered around Gate Square and Gate Live, the platform further refined content incentives and conversion pathways, promoting deeper integration between high-quality content, trading activity, and ecosystem collaboration.
Meanwhile, through closed-door institutional exchanges, annual community summits, and other multi-layered initiatives, Gate expanded professional dialogue and brand influence, further consolidating its position as a leading comprehensive crypto platform in terms of user ecosystem engagement and industry participation.
Overall, Gate is advancing across multiple business lines simultaneously. By continuously expanding asset coverage, product formats, and technological capabilities, the platform is progressively 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 is becoming increasingly solid, with further potential to expand application scenarios and ecosystem boundaries.
