In the first quarter of 2026, against the backdrop of overall pressure in the crypto market and increasing project divergence, the importance of high quality asset supply and effective trading absorption has become more prominent. For trading platforms, listing new assets is not only about acquiring project resources, but also a systematic competition centered on selection mechanisms, liquidity organization, and price discovery efficiency. Based on a sample of 37 new spot listings on Gate in Q1, this report analyzes multiple time windows from 5 minutes to 7 days and, through key metrics including price increase coverage, average gains, and median returns, systematically presents the structural performance and market feedback of different types of projects on Gate.
- From the supply structure perspective: a total of 48 new projects were listed across major exchanges in Q1, of which Gate covered 37, achieving a coverage rate of 77.1%; among them, 27 were first listings, accounting for 73%, and 14 were exclusive listings, representing 37.8%, forming a supply structure with both breadth and differentiation.
- From the overall performance perspective: the share of new listings with price increases remained above 50% across multiple time windows from 5 minutes to 7 days, with median returns of +9.3% at 24 hours and +10.0% at 3 days, reflecting relatively stable positive return coverage and a certain degree of persistence.
- From the first listing and non-first listing structure perspective: among first listings, projects with price increases recorded average gains of 502.8% on the first day and 440.7% at 3 days, demonstrating stronger return elasticity; non-first listings achieved a 90% success rate of price increases at the 24 hour interval, with a median return of +72.9%, indicating higher certainty and more stable performance.
- From the exclusive listing perspective: the 72 hour success rate reached 71.4%, with a median return of +37.8%, while maintaining a relatively high proportion of projects with large gains across multiple time windows, demonstrating stronger selection capability and mid term performance.
