Gate has released its March 2026 Transparency Report. Based on third-party data and platform disclosures, Gate continues to develop a multi-asset growth model driven by the coordinated expansion of derivatives, TradFi, and on-chain ecosystems, further strengthening its position among leading global trading platforms.
The report shows continued improvement in core trading capabilities. According to CoinDesk data, Gate’s derivatives market share has risen to 12.2%, reaching a new all-time high, with one of the fastest monthly increases in the industry. At the same time, platform liquidity has consistently ranked among the global top three, while 24-hour spot trading volume ranks second worldwide. In terms of user growth, the total number of registered users has exceeded 51 million, with trading depth and activity increasing in parallel. The spot market now covers more than 4,500 assets, with continued expansion in market breadth.
From a structural perspective, the TradFi segment emerged as the most notable growth driver during the month. Data shows that Gate’s TradFi division recorded a peak daily trading volume exceeding $20 billion, covering more than 350 assets across metals, equities, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities, with 174 new listings added during the month. Supported by a multi-asset framework and leveraged trading mechanisms, this segment is becoming an important contributor to platform liquidity and trading volume, reflecting growing demand for cross-market asset allocation.
On the on-chain side, Gate also maintained strong activity. In March, transaction count on the Gate Layer increased by more than 14% month-over-month to approximately 32.6 million. With ongoing infrastructure optimization and expanded use cases, on-chain trading and interaction volumes continue to grow, reinforcing its competitiveness in decentralized trading.
Across product and capital flows, multiple business lines recorded coordinated growth. In wealth management, both flexible earning products and on-chain earning solutions saw increases in users and assets under management despite market volatility. Holdings of BTC and ETH in on-chain earning products reached new highs of 3,084 BTC and 175,700 ETH, respectively. ETF trading volume exceeded 18 billion USDT in March, with the overall scale continuing to expand. Incentive programs such as Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop further supported user participation and capital inflows, contributing to a positive cycle between trading activity and liquidity.
Notably, under its Intelligent Web3 strategy, Gate has been building an AI product ecosystem that includes Gate for AI, GateClaw, GateAI, and GateRouter, while accelerating the integration of AI into its trading environment. During the reporting period, Gate AI completed deployment across Web, macOS, and Windows, covering more than 80 use cases, including market analysis, strategy support, and research assistance. With the introduction of multimodal interaction and deep research capabilities, AI is increasingly being applied in high-frequency trading and research workflows, becoming a key direction for platform capability upgrades.
In institutional business, Gate also demonstrated strong competitiveness. In BeInCrypto’s "Best Institutional Crypto Exchanges 2026" ranking, Gate was named the top institutional trading platform. Leveraging low-latency matching (approximately 2 milliseconds), deep liquidity, and a multi-asset trading system, the platform continues to attract professional participants such as hedge funds and market makers. Additionally, features such as the SuperLink cross-market account system and partnerships with third-party custodians have further enhanced capital efficiency and security.
In terms of security and transparency, Gate continues to strengthen its reserve framework. According to its latest March Proof of Reserves report, the platform’s total reserve ratio stood at 122%, significantly above industry benchmarks, with BTC reserves reaching 147% and multiple assets maintaining excess reserves. Furthermore, in transparency rankings published by RootData, Gate ranked second globally, reflecting its overall strengths in transparency and liquidity metrics.
On the branding and ecosystem front, Gate continued to expand its global presence. During March, the platform hosted an exclusive viewing experience during Japanese Grand Prix in collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1, strengthening engagement with partners through high-profile events. Meanwhile, community initiatives and content development also progressed, with more than 1,100 articles published on the Gate Blog during the month. The platform’s research and education arms continued to deliver in-depth analysis on AI, RWA, and macro markets, enhancing user education and information services.
Overall, Gate is evolving from a single-asset trading platform into a comprehensive, multi-asset financial ecosystem spanning multiple markets. As derivatives, TradFi, and on-chain businesses continue to integrate, alongside ongoing advancements in AI and quantitative capabilities, the platform is expected to further strengthen its advantages in trading efficiency, capital utilization, and user engagement. In an increasingly competitive global market, this multi-business, coordinated growth model reinforces both its scale and structural positioning.
