## **Platform Highlights**

### **Gate Accelerates Multi-Asset Expansion as TradFi Trading Volume Drives Structural Platform Upgrades**

Entering 2026, Gate sustained the strong growth momentum built in its spot and derivatives markets, with overall trading activity and liquidity remaining among the industry’s leaders. According to CryptoRank’s review of 2025 market performance, Gate had already ranked among the fastest-growing major derivatives exchanges globally, with both spot and perpetual futures volumes expanding in tandem and market share steadily increasing. The deep liquidity and active user base formed during this phase have provided a solid foundation for stable trading operations and further business expansion in early 2026.

Within traditional financial asset trading, Gate has emerged as one of the most prominent growth highlights of this stage. Against a backdrop of rising international gold prices, Gate TradFi has surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume since the launch of its public beta, with notable increases in demand across metals, FX, global equity CFDs, indices, and commodities. These features have now been fully integrated into the Gate App, enabling users to participate in global traditional financial markets within a unified account system and flexibly switch or combine strategies across crypto and traditional assets.

Overall, Gate is accelerating its transformation from a single-focus crypto exchange into a comprehensive financial platform spanning derivatives, cross-venue trading, and multi-asset TradFi offerings. The rapid expansion of the TradFi segment is becoming a key driver of user base diversification and scenario-rich trading activity, opening up new incremental space for the platform’s next phase of scale growth.

## **Ecosystem Expansion and Security & Compliance**

### **Multi-Asset Trading Capabilities Accelerate, with On-Chain Derivatives and TradFi Scaling in Parallel**

In January 2026, Gate continued to deepen its presence in multi-asset trading and on-chain derivatives. On the on-chain derivatives front, Gate Perp DEX recorded nearly 440,000 trades executed, reflecting a sharp increase in on-chain perpetual trading activity as the product rapidly transitions from a utility tool to a high-frequency trading venue.

In traditional assets, Gate TradFi further expanded asset coverage by incorporating metals, FX, indices, commodities, and popular equities into a unified trading system, pushing cumulative trading volume beyond $10 billion. Cross-market trading and hedging demand are emerging as new sources of structural growth. Meanwhile, Gate DEX completed upgrades to its branding and login experience, offering a lower-friction entry point for both on-chain spot and derivatives trading.

Beyond trading, the platform’s incentive and yield product lines continued to operate at high frequency, strengthening capital retention and user engagement. Launchpool introduced multiple new projects during the month, with staking volumes remaining elevated and select projects delivering notably higher phased annualized yields. Simple Earn sustained a large-scale liquidity pool and continued to meet demand for conservative capital allocation. HODLer Airdrop and CandyDrop, through diversified project supply and incentive mechanisms, drove user participation and trading conversion, forming a closed-loop dynamic of “participation → trading → capital retention.”

Overall, through a combined strategy of on-chain derivatives + TradFi multi-asset offerings + incentive and yield products, Gate is reinforcing ecosystem synergy, enabling trading expansion and user fund management to advance in tandem across multiple layers, and accelerating its evolution toward a broader, multi-scenario trading and asset management ecosystem.

### **Gate Simple Earn Sees Parallel Growth in Scale and Activity as Demand for Conservative Yield Continues to Rise**

Gate Simple Earn sustained steady growth momentum, with core scale and user activity metrics remaining at elevated levels. Total subscriptions for the month exceeded 2.5 billion USDT.

BTC holdings increased by more than 716 BTC during the month, while GT holdings grew by over 1.5 million tokens, reflecting stronger demand for stable exposure to core assets and platform ecosystem assets amid volatile market conditions.

Overall, Simple Earn further solidified its dual role as both a high-liquidity capital pool and a conservative yield entry point, continuing to serve as a central hub within Gate’s trading fund management and asset allocation framework.

### **Gate DEX Fully Upgraded: One-Click Login Unlocks On-Chain Trading**

In January, Gate completed a comprehensive brand and capability upgrade of its decentralized trading products. Gate Web3 was officially rebranded as Gate DEX, with unified product positioning and external messaging. As a core module, Gate Swap focuses on delivering a more intuitive on-chain swap entry point, offering a lower-barrier starting experience for a broader user base. It enables users to move more quickly from product entry to execution without being interrupted by complex Web3 workflows.

On the experience side, Gate Swap has undergone systematic optimization around fast access and seamless execution. It now supports one-click login via Gate accounts, Google accounts, and wallets, significantly reducing login and authorization steps. At the same time, it preserves exchange-grade product logic—aligning interface smoothness, trading paths, asset coverage, and liquidity depth with users’ familiar habits—to enhance the usability and reliability of on-chain swaps.

### **Gate TradFi: A Macro Multi-Asset Trading Gateway Covering Metals, FX, Indices, and Popular Equities**

Gate has expanded its TradFi offerings by integrating CFD trading for traditional financial assets—including metals, FX, indices, commodities, and selected popular equities—directly into the Gate App. This extension moves the platform beyond crypto-only trading into multi-asset price trading scenarios, completing cross-market trading and hedging pathways within a single platform. Since its public beta launch, Gate TradFi has surpassed $20 billion in cumulative trading volume, with demand for traditional asset trading accelerating and achieving scale effects.

In terms of product mechanics and user experience, Gate TradFi uses USDx as the margin and account display unit, pegged 1:1 to USDT, allowing users to participate by transferring USDT. It follows traditional market trading rules, with fixed trading sessions and market closures. Fees can be as low as $0.018 per transaction. Trading services are powered by MT5, with margin-based risk controls in place—forced liquidation is triggered when the margin ratio falls to 50% or below.

### **Gate Perp DEX: On-Chain Perpetual Demand Continues to Grow, with Cumulative Trades Approaching 440,000**

Gate continues to strengthen its decentralized derivatives capabilities. As the on-chain perpetual trading module within Gate DEX, Gate Perp DEX provides users with a more convenient on-chain derivatives entry point and a more consistent end-to-end experience, enabling market analysis, position management, and risk hedging within a unified product system. In January, Gate Perp DEX recorded nearly 440,000 cumulative trades, further confirming the rising activity and scalability of on-chain derivatives.

Through clearer trading flows, more coherent user journeys, and more stable matching and execution, Gate Perp DEX significantly reduces the learning curve and operational friction of on-chain perpetual trading, reinforcing an exchange-grade experience. As demand for cross-market, multi-asset trading and hedging continues to grow, Gate will keep iterating across product experience, liquidity, and usability—driving on-chain perpetuals from niche tools toward broader, higher-frequency real-world use cases.
