#GateJanTransparencyReport

Gate’s January 2026 Transparency Report highlights a clear evolution: the platform is no longer just a crypto exchange; it is becoming a comprehensive multi-asset financial ecosystem. In January, Gate Perp DEX surpassed $5.5 billion in monthly trading volume, signaling that on-chain perpetuals are moving from niche instruments to high-frequency trading tools. On the traditional finance side, Gate TradFi crossed $20 billion in cumulative trading volume, enabling users to trade metals, FX, indices, commodities, and equities alongside crypto in a single, unified system. This integration is creating a new category of multi-scenario trading, where cross-market hedging and combined strategies are emerging as structural growth drivers.

On the on-chain access layer, Gate DEX implemented upgrades to its branding and login experience, lowering barriers for both spot and derivatives traders and encouraging wider participation. Incentive products like Launchpool, Launchpad, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop continued at high frequency, maintaining user engagement while converting activity into trading volume. Notably, ETF trading volume rose 32.6% month-over-month, with 332 leveraged ETF pairs now available, highlighting Gate’s growing depth in sophisticated derivative products.

Meanwhile, Simple Earn remained a cornerstone for liquidity management and conservative capital allocation, demonstrating that users are balancing high-frequency trading with secure, yield-generating options.
From an infrastructure and security perspective, Gate’s ecosystem is expanding steadily: the number of addresses surpassed 100 million, transaction volume increased over 22% month-over-month, and the platform’s

overall reserve ratio rose to 125%, with a BTC reserve ratio of 140.69%. This demonstrates a commitment to asset security and verifiable transparency, critical for both retail and institutional users. In parallel, Gate enhanced engagement with professional users through private institutional events and creator ecosystem upgrades while increasing international brand exposure.

In summary, Gate is accelerating its transformation from a single-focus crypto exchange into a comprehensive financial platform spanning derivatives, TradFi, on-chain products, and yield services. The combination of multi-asset trading, cross-market strategies, and strong incentive structures positions Gate as a next-generation ecosystem for traders and investors, offering depth, flexibility, and security in one platform.
