According to official data, the number of registered users on the global cryptocurrency exchange Gate has surpassed 50 million . This milestone is considered a significant one in the platform's development, marking Gate's transition from a phase of rapid growth focused on scale expansion to a new cycle centered on system maturity and stable operation.

As its user base continues to expand, Gate.com has seen a simultaneous increase in active users, trading volume, and market coverage. Data shows that the platform has consistently ranked among the top three globally in terms of cryptocurrency trading volume and overall liquidity. Its 24-hour spot trading volume ranks second globally, demonstrating stable and continuous market depth. Its contract trading volume and overall trading strength have also consistently ranked among the top three globally. Furthermore, Gate.com's spot market supports trading in over 4,400 cryptocurrencies, a leading level of coverage in the industry.

In terms of user reach, Gate has established a broad user base across major global markets, encompassing retail investors, professional traders, and institutional participants. The synergistic operation across multiple markets and product lines further enhances the platform's network effect, continuously improving interaction and retention capabilities among different user groups. Simultaneously, the pace of user growth has remained relatively stable, providing a more resilient foundation for the platform's long-term development.

At the transaction structure level, user behavior and product usage on the platform continue to deepen. With the gradual introduction of TradeFi-related assets such as stock tokens and metal tokens, user trading behavior is extending from crypto asset trading to cross-asset and multi-strategy allocation, and the synergistic effect between spot, derivatives, and diversified assets is becoming increasingly apparent. At the same time, Gate completed the upgrade of its decentralized trading product, Gate DEX, expanding on-chain spot, on-chain contracts, and diversified on-chain trading scenarios, providing users with a choice of trading paths that combine centralized and decentralized approaches.

Against the backdrop of simultaneously increasing trading scenarios and information complexity, Gate launched GateAI, which helps users understand the logic behind market changes by structuring price fluctuations and market information, thus strengthening the platform's information carrying capacity and intelligent support capabilities in a multi-asset environment. Building on this, Gate takes Intelligent Web3 as its long-term development direction, transforming complex processes such as cross-chain, wallet, gas, and risk control into sustainable and predictable infrastructure capabilities by introducing AI and systematic capabilities. This will propel Web3 from a primarily trading tool to a more practical and usable long-term gateway.

In building its multi-asset trading system, Gate continues to expand its TradeFi business and contract products synergistically, building upon its existing crypto asset trading platform. This has gradually formed a unified trading architecture covering spot, contracts, and TradeFi. The platform uses a unified account system to introduce traditional financial assets such as metals, stocks, forex, indices, and commodities, simultaneously supporting relevant trading scenarios at both the spot and contract levels, enabling 24/7 multi-market parallel operation. With its continuously improving product system, Gate has initially established a multi-asset trading structure that integrates crypto assets and traditional financial assets, placing it at the forefront of the industry in terms of trading depth, asset coverage, and the breadth of use cases. This provides a structural advantage for the platform to participate in multi-asset market competition over a longer period.

In terms of building fundamental capabilities, Gate continues to increase its investment in core areas such as security, risk control, compliance, and technology research and development. According to Gate's latest reserve report, as of January 6, 2026, the platform's overall reserve coverage ratio increased from 124% to 125%, with a total reserve value of US$9.478 billion, covering nearly 500 types of user assets. This is significantly higher than the industry security benchmark of 100%, demonstrating ample risk buffering capacity.

Meanwhile, Gate Group continues to expand its global compliance footprint. Its Maltese entity, Gate Technology Ltd, has obtained a MiCA license under the regulation of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and a Payment Institution (PI) license under the EU's Payment Services Directive II (PSD2). Its Australian entity, Gate Information Pty Ltd, has registered with AUSTRAC as a digital currency transaction service provider and is officially operating. To date, multiple Gate entities have obtained or completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, Cyprus, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, and Dubai, demonstrating the ongoing progress of its global compliance strategy.

The milestone of 50 million users marks Gate's key shift from accumulating scale to solidifying system capabilities. Leveraging stable liquidity, a multi-asset product portfolio, and a global operational capability that prioritizes security and compliance, the platform has not only solidified its long-term competitive advantage in the industry but also provided a valuable practical model for the stable operation of digital asset trading platforms. As crypto assets continue to integrate with traditional finance, Gate's demonstrated capacity and structural maturity at this stage are laying the foundation for its participation in the longer-term evolution of the industry.
