The report reveals record-breaking core metrics, upgrades to security infrastructure, an expansion of product offerings, and an acceleration of global strategies—demonstrating strong growth and a solidified market position.
According to the report, Gate.io continued to lead the industry in Q1 2025, with notable increases in both user growth and trading volume. The platform’s expanding user base emphasizes its strong appeal and consistent growth trajectory.
Futures Trading experienced notable growth, with a surge in the number of traders and trading volume. Futures trading volume saw a quarter-over-quarter increase of approximately 31%. Meanwhile, in Spot Trading, Gate.io expanded its offerings by listing over 200 new tokens, enhancing its competitive advantage in asset selection and listing efficiency, and providing users with a broader range of high-quality investment options.
Gate.io also introduced a new “Refer to Earn” program, leveraging social media and interactive campaigns to boost user acquisition and trading activity, fostering long-term community growth.
Furthermore, in Q1 2025, Gate’s native token, GT, achieved impressive performance, reaching an all-time high of $25.96 on January 25th, marking a 70% increase year-to-date. As the utility and gas token of GateChain, GT supports the platform’s core transaction infrastructure. GT holders also benefit from exclusive rewards, such as LaunchPool airdrops, mining rewards, and staking incentives.
Since its launch in 2019, GateChain has implemented a deflationary burn mechanism for GT, reducing its total supply by approximately 60% from its initial 300 million. This commitment to deflationary tokenomics underscores Gate.io’s dedication to maintaining the value of GT for long-term holders. As of now, a total of 177,089,412.23 GT has been burned, representing a total burn value of around $408,270,578.
Gate.io Prioritizes Security With Total Reserves Exceeding $10B, Upgrades Launchpool, And Lists Over 1,000 Tokens On Gate Pilot
Gate.io continues to prioritize the protection of user assets and information security, taking further steps to improve reserve transparency and platform security. As of January 17th, Gate.io’s total reserves reached $10.328 billion, placing it in the Top 4 globally among cryptocurrency platforms. The reserve ratio stood at 128.58%, surpassing the industry standard of 100%. The platform also reported excess reserves of $2.296 billion, offering additional protection for user funds.
The company has placed a strong emphasis on enhancing its global compliance efforts, including its acquisition of Coin Master, a licensed exchange in Japan, through one of its subsidiaries. This move supports Gate.io’s continued expansion into the Japanese market.
In Q1 2025, Gate.io’s Launchpool (formerly Startup Mining) established itself as a leading platform for new token launches. It supported over 140 projects, including more than 90 free airdrops with a total value exceeding $5.2 million. Additionally, the platform introduced over 70 mining projects, distributing more than $9.2 million in rewards. A new project search function and intelligent strategy filter were also added, allowing users to find optimal mining plans within three minutes. The HODLer Airdrop program lowered its entry threshold to just 1 GT, providing an average annualized return of 43.94%. Reflecting its adaptability, when the trending token TRUMP launched, mining was activated on the same day, with stake volume exceeding $25 million within 24 hours, which generated strong user participation and promoted a mutually beneficial environment between the platform and projects.
Gate Pilot, leveraging its first-mover advantage and continuous innovation in the Meme sector, has solidified its dominant position. In this quarter, Gate Pilot successfully integrated over 10 major public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. Nearly 400 new tokens were listed, bringing the total to over 1,000 tokens. Gate Pilot remains a leader in the industry, offering users a diverse array of investment options. To enhance user experience, the platform launched new features like “Logo Mode” and the Meme Gem Index, which improve users’ ability to identify tokens and trends while reducing barriers to Meme trading.
With its fast listing mechanism, Gate Pilot allowed users to capture several high-yield projects before they hit the market, including top-performing Meme tokens like Kekius (55x), Trump (45x), YZY (46x), and Mubarak (28x). Moreover, the platform partnered with projects such as MemeCity and MemeCore, and actively participated in offline industry events, further strengthening its leadership in the Meme sector.
