In derivatives markets, Binance and OKX led with 35.4% and 17.9% market share, respectively, followed by Gate at 12.0%, highlighting Gate's rise into the global top three. Concurrently, Gate ranked as the third-largest retail exchange by open interest (OI) with $8.68 billion, accounting for 9.76% of the total.

On the spot side, Gate maintained strong momentum, recording $55.7B in trading volume in March and ranking third globally among major exchanges. Together with Binance and Bybit, the three platforms accounted for approximately 44.8% of total spot trading volume among top-tier exchanges.
