Gate Q2 2025 Report: Steady Growth, Bold Strategy in a Changing Market

Gate grows user base past 30 million, leads global trading gains, and expands ecosystem with product innovation, institutional growth, and a bold brand vision

Gate's strong growth in Q2 2025 broke the trend of the crypto space's declining trading volumes and stricter restrictions. With a 14% month-over-month increase in April spot trading volume to $113.7 billion, it soared to become the second-largest centralised exchange (CEX) in the world. Gate had a 9% market share and was the only significant CEX to report double-digit monthly growth, according to CoinGecko.

Strong token listing momentum and significant spot and futures trading participation let Gate reach a user base of over 30 million. The exchange reaffirmed its leadership in platform security by reporting over $10.45 billion in reserves and a 23.09% surplus reserve ratio, supported by zero-knowledge proof technology.

Gate's performance in trading, product development, user acquisition, institutional growth, and brand expansion are all included in this quarter's report.

Trading & User Growth

Despite the industry-wide reduction, Gate saw stable spot market performance and high futures trading volumes. The amount of futures increased every quarter, driving platform activity as a whole.

In comparison to the previous quarter, Gate listed more than 65% more tokens, increasing user engagement and asset options. Consistent rise in trending token activity and market depth was guaranteed by its robust trading engine and substantial liquidity.

Gate Earn & Wealth Management

In Q2, Gate Earn achieved record performance. In addition to introducing fixed-term deals with yields of up to 150% and VIP-only USDT returns of 4.5%, the site added 56 new coins to its flexible Earn offerings. Also introduced was the first instant redemption function in the industry.

In addition to adding on-chain fee incentives for VIP users, Gate Staking expanded with nine more assets. Higher limits and intraday maturity, which increased flexibility and appeal, helped dual investment products gain traction.

Additionally, Gate introduced significant improvements to copy trading, recurring investing features, and ETF leveraged tokens. With the launch of "Auto-Invest Pro," compound interest was achieved by combining Simple Earn with recurring investments. The number of futures copy trading increased steadily, and copy trading brought "Prime Traders" and intelligent analysis tools.

After listing almost 1,000 new tokens, Gate Alpha (previously MemeBox) attracted hundreds of thousands of users. With important features like the Alpha Points Festival and quick listing cycles, it developed as a centre for early-stage token trading.

High-yield coins saw a sharp increase in value, and launchpool entries exceeded one million. Regular incentives were also given out by CandyDrop and HODLer Airdrops, with new features enhancing transparency and fairness.

Institutional Business

With more than 800 borrowable assets and more than 300 fixed-term lending options, Gate increased lending. With a total loan amount of over $10 billion, margin trading launched 55 new pairings.

Wallet & Security

In order to combine cold wallet security with hot wallet flexibility, Gate Wallet introduced the NFC-enabled Gate Wallet Touch. The wallet included BountyDrop airdrop aggregation, flash trading, Solana-level candlestick data, and AI-powered investment tools. Thanks to early-stage investment solutions like IDO Prime, users may now manage their assets more intelligently and safely.

Gate Ventures

Gate Ventures concentrated on new ecosystems including as Monad, Berachain, Avalanche, and NEAR, as well as BTC Layer 2 and cross-border compliance. In addition to organising international AMAs and investor roundtables, it supported Solana yield protocols and idle asset monetisation.
