Gate, one of the leading global digital asset exchanges, has released its December 2025 Transparency Report. The report highlights the platform’s coordinated progress across multiple dimensions, including trading scale, Web3 ecosystem development, and global compliance expansion, demonstrating strong business resilience and a systematic approach to long-term growth.
On the trading front, Gate’s spot and derivatives businesses continue to rank among the industry’s leaders. Gate’s global spot market share growth consistently ranks in the top 3, maintaining a leading position among major exchanges.
In derivatives, Gate’s market share has risen to around 11% from the beginning of the year to the year-end, making it the trading platform with the fastest growth over the year. The sustained stability of trading depth and liquidity also reflects the active participation of institutional and professional trading capital, providing solid support for the platform’s core business.
In terms of its Web3 and product ecosystem, Gate continues to drive user engagement and capital retention through the coordinated development of multiple product lines.
During December, incentive and launch mechanisms such as Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, CandyDrop, and Launchpad remained active, with nearly 30 projects launched in a single month and a total reward pool exceeding $3.5 million. On the product experience side, the Gate App completed a refreshed international visual design and interaction flow.
The platform also released its 2025 Annual User Report, reviewing users’ participation throughout the year with multidimensional data, reflecting the continued expansion of Gate’s user base and trading activity. Meanwhile, the number of on-chain addresses on Gate Layer surpassed 100 million, alongside multiple infrastructure upgrades that have driven continuous iterations of decentralized applications such as Gate Perp DEX and Gate Fun.
Notably, Gate Perp DEX has achieved monthly trading volumes exceeding $10 billion for two consecutive months, demonstrating its strong liquidity capacity in the on-chain perpetual futures sector.
In the asset management and yield segment, Gate continues to expand its Staking, Simple Earn, quantitative, and structured product matrix. In December, total GUSD minting once again exceeded $200 million, while the number of leveraged ETF tokens increased to 248, making Gate one of the exchanges with the most comprehensive coverage in this category.
In parallel, newly launched structured derivatives such as “Smart Leverage” address users’ demand for more robust strategies amid high market volatility through enhanced risk management mechanisms.
On the global compliance front, Gate Group’s entity Gate Technology FZE has officially commenced operations, marking another major milestone in Gate Group’s ongoing global compliance strategy. Previously, Gate Technology FZE obtained a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license under the supervision of Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), authorizing it to provide crypto spot exchange services.
To date, multiple Gate entities have obtained or completed regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, and Dubai.
At the brand and community level, Gate continues to expand across diverse scenarios such as sports, education, and public welfare. The platform partnered with Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1 to launch the “IN THE MOMENT” digital collectibles series and hosted VIP viewing events around F1 races, further strengthening the connection between Web3 and mainstream culture.
At the same time, Gate has reinforced its long-term public image in the industry through university visits, research and educational content, and public welfare initiatives.
In December, Gate received multiple accolades from international media and industry institutions. The platform was named the “Crypto Industry Icon” at the 2025 Entrepreneur Middle East Leadership Awards and ranked first on BeInCrypto’s Best Crypto Exchanges for Spot Trading as the “Best for high-liquidity spot markets”.
In addition, at the inaugural BeInCrypto 100 Awards, Gate won both “Best Centralized Exchange” and “Best Brand of the Year,” while its venture arm Gate Ventures received the “Best Investment Institution of the Year,” making Gate one of the most recognized platforms of the year for innovation and service excellence.
Overall, through the coordinated advancement of its trading business, Web3 infrastructure, and compliance framework, Gate continued in December 2025 to strengthen its evolution from a traditional trading platform into a comprehensive Web3 infrastructure provider.
As the industry moves toward greater maturity and differentiation, this steady and systematic approach may become a key source of long-term competitiveness for leading platforms.
