The number of certified creators on Gate Square surpassed 1,000, continuing to foster a Web3 community centered on user participation. On the branding front, Gate served as the title sponsor of the Token of Love Music Festival in Singapore and hosted a series of high-profile brand events and VVIP dinners during major global moments such as TOKEN2049 and the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, bringing together global partners, institutional clients, and industry leaders to further elevate Gate’s international brand recognition and ecosystem influence.

Overall, in Q4 2025, Gate demonstrated strong operational resilience across trading scale, product innovation, on-chain ecosystem development, and global expansion. By strengthening its core spot and derivatives trading foundation, accelerating the Web3 ecosystem and on-chain application integration, and advancing security, compliance, and brand development in parallel, Gate is steadily executing its strategic upgrade from a traditional exchange into an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform. Looking ahead, as its product ecosystem continues to mature and ecosystem synergies are further unlocked, Gate is well positioned to reinforce its comprehensive competitiveness in the global digital asset market and inject sustainable growth momentum into the industry’s long-term development.
