#GT2025Q4BurnCompleted GateToken Enters 2026 With Strengthened Deflationary Momentum 🔥

Gate.io has officially completed the Q4 2025 on-chain burn of GateToken (GT), reinforcing its long-term deflationary strategy and commitment to sustainable tokenomics. Between October and December 2025, the burn permanently removed 2,163,900.48229 GT, valued at over $26.92 million at the time of execution.
Since the launch of GateChain mainnet in 2019, a cumulative 184,819,426 GT have been burned—approximately 61.6% of the original 300 million supply, representing an estimated $1.9 billion. This programmatic, transparent burn mechanism is tied to platform performance and ecosystem growth, aligning GT’s value with long-term holders rather than short-term speculation.
GT’s Expanding Utility
GT remains the core platform token of Gate.io and the native gas asset of GateChain, powering trading, governance, and on-chain execution. Its utility has grown with Gate Layer, a high-performance Layer 2 network on the OP Stack, offering low fees, scalability, and developer adoption.
Key GT-driven applications include:
Gate Perp DEX: Decentralized perpetual trading
Gate Fun: On-chain token launches and discovery
Meme Go: Cross-chain meme token trading, analytics, and liquidity routing
As the exclusive gas token for Gate Layer, GT benefits directly from transaction volume, dApp adoption, and ecosystem activity.
Forward-Looking Catalysts for 2026
Broader Web3 integration and cross-chain support
Expanded DeFi tooling and developer incentives
Enhanced wallet and infrastructure upgrades
Continued evolution of fee discounts, VIP benefits, governance, and ecosystem incentives
Market Impact
Large-scale burns typically create long-term upward pressure on value by tightening supply, particularly when paired with growing utility. With reduced circulating supply, rising Layer 2 adoption, and a clear deflationary roadmap, GT enters 2026 on a structurally stronger foundation.
GT is no longer just an exchange token—it’s infrastructure-level value within the Gate ecosystem. All burns are verifiable on-chain, ensuring full transparency.
Scarcity is engineered. Utility is expanding. GT’s next phase is being built on-chain. 🚀
