Gate.io Releases Q2 2025 Report: User Base Surpasses 30 Million, Achieving Robust Growth Against the Odds

Leading global digital asset platform Gate recently released its Q2 2025 report. The report shows that amidst increased overall market volatility in the crypto industry and a deep adjustment period, Gate has demonstrated resilient and robust development. The platform has surpassed 30 million registered users globally, becoming one of the few top exchanges to achieve high-speed growth during a market downturn. Meanwhile, Gate has made significant achievements in spot and futures trading, asset transparency, compliance progress, product matrix, content ecosystem, and brand influence, steadily progressing towards its strategic goal of becoming the "next-generation super unicorn exchange."

Surpassing 30 Million Users, Spot Trading Defies the Trend to Rank Second Globally

In Q2 2025, Gate's overall trading performance remained strong, with the futures market particularly outstanding, as trading volume repeatedly hit new highs, serving as the core engine of the platform's growth. The futures trading volume saw a significant year-over-year increase and continued to rise on a monthly basis, significantly boosting overall market activity and further consolidating Gate's leading position in leveraged trading.

In spot trading, amid decreased market volatility and waning speculative sentiment, trading volumes on many exchanges generally declined. In April, Gate recorded over $110 billion in spot trading volume, a month-on-month growth of over 14%, capturing nearly a 10% market share, propelling it to second place among global CEXs, and becoming the only mainstream platform to achieve double-digit growth. By the end of Q2, Gate's total user base had surpassed 30 million, with a significant year-on-year increase in quarterly new user numbers, demonstrating strong growth momentum.

Simultaneously, the platform accelerated its new coin listing pace, with over a 65% increase in listings in Q2, expanding the total supported coin count, enriching the trading matrix, and continuously enhancing users' asset selection opportunities and trading possibilities.

Diverse Product Synergy, Building a Dual-driven Ecosystem for User Growth and Revenue

In Q2 2025, Gate's spot business delivered outstanding performance, with multiple product lines consistently driving user engagement and revenue growth. The Launchpad, Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop, four major new asset launch products, continued to perform strongly in Q2. Among them, the Launchpad's highly anticipated debut project Puffverse (PFVS) saw subscriptions exceeding $656 million, several tokens on Launchpool doubled in value, HODLer Airdrop introduced dozens of airdrop projects worth over a million dollars in total, and CandyDrop featured over 30 listed projects. Gate continues to optimize its asset launch mechanisms, effectively engaging users in trading, enhancing platform stickiness, and ecosystem vitality.

Gate Alpha has demonstrated strong growth momentum and has become the on-chain asset issuance platform closest to DEX experience within CEX. In Q2, it quickly listed nearly a thousand new projects, with the cumulative trading user number exceeding hundreds of thousands. Popular projects such as LABUBU and USELESS have shown impressive gains. Furthermore, Alpha's point activities and on-chain asset screening mechanism continue to enhance the platform's leading edge in high-frequency trading and asset discovery.

Regarding institutional business, Gate's contract institution trading volume increased by 33.59% compared to the previous period, while spot and contract institutional user numbers grew in sync by 27.42%. Trading latency was significantly optimized, leading to a continuous improvement in institutional experience. In terms of financial products, the Yield Wallet added 56 new flexible subscription currencies this quarter, launched time deposits with a peak annual rate of 150%, and VIP fixed products (USDT annual yield reaching 4.5%). Additionally, Gate's wallet continuously enhances security and experience, introducing the NFC-supported hardware wallet Gate Wallet Touch and creating an intelligent, secure, and convenient all-in-one digital asset management experience through various functions such as smart recommendations, on-chain coin earning, and early project investments, further enhancing user stickiness and market competitiveness.

Safety and Compliance Dual-Driven, Cementing Global Trust Foundation

In the second quarter of 2025, Gate made significant progress in reserve transparency and global compliance strategy, further consolidating its leading position in the industry. Data shows that as of June 2025, Gate's total reserve value reached $10.453 billion, with a total reserve ratio as high as 123.09%, covering over 350 assets, and an excess reserve amount of $1.96 billion. The reserve ratios of core currencies like BTC, ETH, and USDT are significantly above 100%, with BTC reaching 138.7%. The platform continues to promote the application of advanced technologies such as zero-knowledge proof, further enhancing fund security and transparency, demonstrating a high commitment to user asset security.

In terms of compliance, Gate's subsidiary Gate Technology FZE has obtained a VASP license under the supervision of VARAD in Dubai, allowing it to provide cryptocurrency trading services to institutional investors, accredited investors, and retail users. This important milestone marks another deepening extension of Gate Group's global compliance strategy.

Diverse Content-Driven Growth, Community and Brand Synergies

In the second quarter of 2025, Gate continued to strengthen its content ecosystem and community operation, promoting comprehensive soft power growth through education empowerment, product optimization, and cultural co-creation. The Gate Learn platform continued to release high-quality original articles in both Chinese and English, providing users with a continuous stream of professional content support; Gate Research made breakthroughs in content output and domain coverage, with continuous optimization of the "Biweekly Quantitative Report," "Monthly On-Chain Data Report," "Monthly Financing Report," "Monthly Cryptocurrency Market Review," and more, enabling investors to have a deeper understanding of the cryptocurrency market. Meanwhile, Gate Square and Community Center underwent a comprehensive UI redesign, with dual optimizations in interactive experience and content distribution mechanisms, leading to a significant increase in platform user activity and traffic, further maturing the community ecosystem.

There have been frequent reports on brand and culture building. Gate has collaborated with the Red Bull F1 team to launch a co-branded NFT. As of now, the total minting volume has exceeded 2 million, sparking a surge in user participation. The platform has also partnered with Inter Milan goalkeeper Jan Sommer to create a short film on security, deeply integrating the platform's philosophy with the spirit of sports. Additionally, Gate celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day with a special custom pizza event, paying tribute to industry history and strengthening emotional connections with the community culture. Simultaneously, flagship events such as SPORT3 Sports Carnival, WCTC Global Trading Competition, and VIP Airdrop Carnival have been successively held, enriching user engagement scenarios and continuously unleashing brand vitality and global influence.

Throughout the entire second quarter, Gate has achieved breakthroughs and accumulations in various dimensions such as user base, technical capabilities, ecosystem synergy, security transparency, global compliance, and brand building, demonstrating a profound strength in systematic growth. Facing the ever-changing market cycles, Gate will continue to adhere to technology-driven and user-oriented approaches, deepen product experience and ecosystem value, and promote the benign evolution of the cryptocurrency industry with a long-term perspective, accelerating the pace towards becoming the "next-generation super-unicorn exchange."
