Gate Update: Platform Claims No.1 Global CEX Inflow Ranking And 115% Reserve Ratio As It Expands Across Stocks, Futures, And Prediction Markets
In Brief
Gate tops global CEX inflows, posts 115% reserves, and expands across prediction markets, Korean stocks, new futures, and staking products.
Gate’s most consequential news this period centers on three developments: the exchange claimed the top spot among all global centralized exchanges for net inflows, published a proof-of-reserves report showing a 115% overall reserve ratio, and rolled out a major upgrade to its World Cup prediction hub via its Polymarket integration. Together, these updates point to both platform strength and a widening product ambition — from institutional-grade custody standards to consumer-facing sports prediction. Alongside these headline items, Gate has been active across staking, futures, global stock markets, compliance infrastructure, and on-chain trading.
Leading Global CEX Inflows and Reserves
According to DefiLlama data, Gate recorded more than $495.84 million in 7-day net inflows and over $485.78 million over 30 days, ranking first among all global centralized exchanges in both categories. The latest proof of reserves report, published as of June 22, reinforces the platform’s financial standing: Gate’s overall reserve ratio stands at 115%, covering nearly 500 asset types. Core figures include a BTC excess reserve ratio of 32.73% (25,292 BTC held against 19,054 BTC in user holdings) and 22.91% for ETH. Notably, USD1 user holdings surged from 6.82 million to 712 million tokens over the reporting period, with platform reserves at 782 million. GUSD posted a 72.81% excess reserve ratio, while GT and XRP reached 134.18% and 116.92% respectively.
World Cup Prediction Markets in Full Swing
The 2026 World Cup group stage has driven sustained activity across Gate’s Polymarket integration. Across three match days — June 20 (Brazil 3-0 Haiti, US 2-0 Australia), June 21 (Netherlands 5-1 Sweden, Japan 4-0 Tunisia), and June 22 (Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia, Egypt 3-1 New Zealand) — trading in World Cup prediction markets has risen consistently, with users actively trading qualification scenarios and upcoming fixtures. Gate has now completed a major upgrade to the World Cup Hub: users on App v8.25.0 or later can access it directly from the homepage, with new sections covering Champions, Top Players, and News, plus a Team Subscription feature and expanded page sharing. The Smart Money feature enables tracking of top-performing traders’ positions and strategies. Combined World Cup campaign prize pools now exceed 550,000 USDT, and Gate has introduced Prediction Market Trial Vouchers to lower the barrier to entry. The next featured matches include Argentina vs. Austria and France vs. Iraq on June 23.
Staking and Yield Products
Gate officially launched USD1 Staking with a reference APR of up to 13.41%, with a minimum participation of 1 USD1. USD1 Soft Staking currently offers 8% APR. USD1 open interest has exceeded $908 million according to DefiLlama. Additional staking rates currently available on the platform include 2.67% for BTC, 4.18% for ETH, 8.01% for SOL, and 3.47% for USDT.
Futures: Metals, Energy, and Tech Assets
Gold and silver have consolidated at lower levels, while Gate’s derivatives data continues to reflect strong positioning. XAG (silver) futures posted a 24-hour trading volume of $51.37 million with open interest of $73.77 million, ranking in the top two industry-wide; XAU (gold) open interest reached $141 million, also top two. Crude oil had a turbulent June 22 session — WTI (CLUSDT) fell to $75.79 (-2.66%) and Brent (BZUSDT) to $79.16 (-2.78%) as progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations reduced safe-haven demand. Gate’s CLUSDT perpetual futures recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $12.70 million with open interest of $8.79 million. Among tech-themed assets, SpaceX (SPCX) and SanDisk (SNDK) futures open interest reached $14.90 million and $7.33 million respectively — both among industry leaders. Gate also launched eight new perpetual futures contracts on June 22: ADSK (Autodesk), BKNG (Booking Holdings), VZ (Verizon), SCHW (Charles Schwab), HON (Honeywell), PFE (Pfizer), SYK (Stryker), and AMGN (Amgen), all supporting 1–20x leverage with USDT settlement.
Global Stocks Expansion
Gate Stocks launched South Korean equity trading, enabling USDT-denominated access to stocks listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX). The initial rollout covers the top 1,000 companies by market cap across KOSPI and KOSDAQ, including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, NAVER, Hyundai Motor, and Celltrion. A trading event runs through June 30, with stock rewards worth over $200,000. Gate Stocks now covers U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean markets within a unified account. On the Hong Kong side, notable single-day gainers included Dongjiang Environmental (+33.33%), BOCOM International (+31.57%), and Yangtze Optical Fibre (+31.31%).
