Gate Update: $118M Weekly Net Inflows, Ondo Partnership, And Precious Metals Dominance Lead A Dense Week Of Product Activity
Gate has posted strong market metrics this week, recording over $118.32 million in net inflows over seven days — placing it third among all global centralized exchanges according to DefiLlama data. The figure arrives alongside two notable product moves that reflect the exchange’s continued push into traditional finance: the launch of a compliant real-world asset tokenization trading zone in partnership with Ondo, and Gate’s precious metals futures maintaining top-two industry rankings during a volatile macro session.
The Stock Token Zone listed seven new tokenized equities on September 28 — MAG7XON, BRAINON, YLD5ON, YLD8ON, BLKHION, BLKDIGON, and BLKGRWON — developed through Gate’s collaboration with Ondo. The section supports spot and convert trading, 24/7 availability, fractional trading, and on-chain transfers settled in USDT, bridging traditional equity exposure with on-chain infrastructure under a model designed to meet emerging regulatory standards for tokenized assets.
On the commodities side, stronger-than-expected US consumer confidence data pushed gold and silver lower — gold trading at $4,225.56 (down 1.45% in 24 hours) and silver at $62.69 (down 2.41%) per CoinGlass. Amid the volatility, Gate’s metals contracts saw significant activity: Gate Silver (XAG) futures logged $59.57 million in 24-hour trading volume, while Gate Gold (XAU) open interest reached approximately $417.78 million — both ranking second in the industry.
These developments reflect a broader pattern visible across this week’s activity: an expanding product surface reaching well beyond spot crypto. Below is a full rundown of additional releases.
Launchpool & Yield Products
Gate Launchpool is running three simultaneous campaigns. Interfold (FOLD) leads with a 590.76% APR in its FOLD staking pool (total rewards: approximately 128,125 USDT), while the meme-themed Hunter Biden’s Laptop (LAPTOP) is yielding 263.05% APR. Tether Gold (XAUT) rounds out the trio with more conservative terms — the USDT pool is offering 3.35% APR with total staked liquidity exceeding 98.45 million USDT, indicating strong participation at the lower-risk end.
The Idle Earn × Simple Earn limited-time event has entered its second phase, running through late October. VIP 3–14 users meeting a 100,000 USDT net deposit threshold and subscribing to the USDT 7-Day Fixed-Term product receive an additional 7.3% rate-up APR on top of the 3.7% base rate, bringing the total to 11%. A lower tier — requiring 50,000 USDT in net deposits with Idle Earn enabled — offers a combined 5% APR.
Equity & Dividend Activity
Gate has completed USDT-equivalent cash dividend distributions for 173 U.S.-listed stocks, covering names including BlackRock (BLK), UnitedHealth (UNH), Bank of America (BAC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Lockheed Martin (LMT), and PayPal (PYPL). The distributions cover company payment dates from September 21–25 and span twelve sectors from technology and semiconductors to real estate REITs. The process is automated, with no action required from users.
U.S. stock trading on Gate showed broad strength, with three names rising more than 10% in a single session: Functional Brands (MEHA) led at +16.98%, followed by Genius Sports (GENI) at +11.22% and Almonty Industries (ALM) at +10.73%. Gate’s equities offering covers over 12,800 stocks and ETF assets across U.S., Japanese, Hong Kong, and Korean markets.
Derivatives & Prediction Markets
Gate ETF has listed QNT3L/USDT and QNT3S/USDT, providing 3x long and 3x short exposure to Quant (QNT), both at an initial net value of 1 USDT. A new listing trading challenge runs through October 8 with a 60,000 USDT reward pool, including a first-trade reward for the first 1,000 eligible users, daily check-ins for traders with 1,000 USDT+ daily volume, and community trading milestones unlocking up to 30,000 USDT.
Gate Event Contracts Trading Competition Round 2 is in its final stretch, running through October 1 with up to 12,500 USDT in total rewards. The product supports directional predictions on major crypto assets — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HYPE, DOGE, BNB — and equities including Micron Technology and SK hynix, across timeframes from 5 minutes to 4 hours.
Gate Prediction Markets is also registering notable activity in the commodities space: the platform currently implies a 70% probability of WTI crude oil hitting $95 in September. The Points Season 6 prize pool has reached 57,935 USDT, with the top-ranked participant’s estimated reward at 7,926 USDT.
Ecosystem & Campaigns
Gate Trenches has launched a Public Chain Showdown pitting BSC against Robinhood chain, running September 28 through October 11. Users register for one or both teams and trade eligible tokens on the respective chain; the team with higher total eligible volume at close wins, and only members of the winning team share the unlockable reward pool of up to 100,000 USDT. Robinhood-chain traders benefit from a limited-time zero-gas fee during the event.
Gate Ventures-backed social meme trading platform Baola has entered public beta. The platform aggregates KOL calls, on-chain trading data, and community interactions, with features including KOL Rankings, Callout Rankings, and a Follow function for tracking active market participants. Users can publish calls and view historical caller performance relative to subsequent token price movement.
Rounding out this week’s activity: Gate Futures Points Airdrop Phase 146 is live as of September 26. Users holding 40 or more Futures Points can redeem 20 points for a 100 USDT position voucher; those in the 90–120 points range can redeem 15 points for 0.016 QQQG. Both pools run on a first-come, first-served basis.
