While Binance was still preparing for Mubarak's listing review meeting, Gate.io users had already achieved a 70x return in the coin's Innovation Zone. Data shows that Mubarak's daily trading volume on Gate.io's spot market surpassed $470 million, accounting for 63% of CMC's total trading volume. Behind this wealth effect is the "Cryptocurrency Expressway" built by Gate.io, which continues to unleash momentum.

Gate.io Listing Speed: 87% of Projects Generate Significant Wealth Effect Before Being Listed on Binance

While traditional exchanges were still relying on manual reviews, Gate.io had compressed the listing process to the extreme through technological innovation. Using MUBARAK as an example:

· Innovation Zone Debut: On March 14, 2025, at 11:40 (UTC+8), MUBARAK was globally launched in Gate.io's Innovation Zone, achieving a peak gain of 7400%.

· Rapid Contract Follow-up: Just 3 days later (March 17, at 11:00 UTC+8), Gate.io listed MUBARAK perpetual contracts supporting 1-50x leverage, becoming the first platform in the world to offer high-leverage contracts for this coin. In comparison, other platforms like Bitget at the same time only supported 20x leverage, significantly lagging in depth and flexibility.

This extreme speed is the result of a triple technological innovation:

· Oracle Listing Engine: Integrating 380 data dimensions such as GitHub code updates, developer community discussion volume, and on-chain whale movements to preemptively identify potential projects

· Zero-Human Channel: Compliant projects can achieve "instant listing" through a KYC green channel

· Liquidity Sandbox: The Innovation Zone is equipped with a $30 million market maker reserve pool to ensure depth upon new coin listings

Data shows that in Q1 of 2025, the average time for Gate.io's Innovation Zone listings was only 3.2 hours, which is 47 times faster than the industry average, with 87% of projects generating a significant wealth effect before being listed on Binance.

Rapid Contract Battle: Locking in Pricing Rights 36 Hours in Advance

After Mubarak's listing on Gate.io spot trading, perpetual contract trading has commenced, making it the first platform across the network to support leveraged trading for this asset. Within 3 hours of the launch, the contract's depth surpassed $80 million, compelling other subsequent exchanges to passively follow Gate.io's price anchor.

This was made possible by Gate.io's innovative 'Contract-Spot Linkage Market-Making Mechanism':

· Upon the listing of a new coin in the Innovation Zone, the system automatically generates a corresponding contract product framework.

· Market maker bots deploy hedging strategies synchronously in the spot and contract markets.

· A real-time volatility control algorithm suppresses the spread to within 0.3%.

Statistics show that on Gate.io's inaugural day, Mubarak's funding rate was 42% lower than that of competitive platforms, preventing early players from falling into a 'long and short massacre' predicament.

The Wealth Cipher: From 'Binance Predecessor' to 'Alpha Hunting Ground'

Among the 236 tokens newly listed on Gate.io in 2024, 191 (81% share) subsequently landed on Binance, with 73% of these assets already being profitable for Gate.io users by the time they were listed on Binance. Using Mubarak as an example:

· Gate.io's first-week surge: Spot +7400%

· Binance listing day: The opening price premium over Gate.io was only 6%, narrowing the arbitrage space to a historical low.

This market landscape has given rise to a unique investment strategy: over 60% of institutional investors establish a base position on Gate.io, gradually taking profits after Binance's listing. A quantitative fund manager revealed, "Our workflow has now shifted to scanning the Gate.io Innovation Zone every day, which helps us identify opportunities earlier than researching whitepapers."

Ecosystem-Level Empowerment: A Million Users Co-Building a Value Network

Mubarak's eruption was not by chance; it was powered by Gate.io's ongoing construction of a 'Flywheel Effect':

· Traffic fission: Users holding over 1000GT can access the new coin subscription quota 5 minutes early.

· Data Empowerment: The platform's on-chain monitoring system opens up whale address anomaly alerts to the community

· Governance Coordination: Mubarak's listing decision is voted on by the user committee and approved through on-chain voting, taking only 23 seconds in total

This "user as liquidity provider" ecosystem has enabled Gate.io's Innovation Zone projects to achieve an average community engagement level of over three times that of competing platforms. As of now, Gate.io has surpassed 27 million unique addresses, with user-generated trading volume contributing 46% of the liquidity for the top 200 coins on CMC.

Conclusion

While traditional exchanges are still using manual review committees to decide the fate of listings, Gate.io has already used machine intelligence to redefine the value discovery mechanism of crypto assets. The case of Mubarak illustrates that in this "speed equals justice" crypto world, having a fast lane often means having priority control over wealth distribution. As one early investor commented in the community: "At Gate.io, we are not trading tokens, but trading time itself."
