Gate has released its April 2026 Transparency Report. The report shows that, driven by the expansion of its multi-asset ecosystem, upgrades to AI capabilities, and continued global brand development, the platform maintained steady business growth while accelerating its evolution into a comprehensive digital financial infrastructure platform.
In terms of key operating metrics, Gate now serves more than 53 million users and supports over 4,600 listed assets, while continuing to expand its multi-asset trading ecosystem. According to third-party data, the platform has listed more than 430 TradFi CFD assets and over 70 tokenized stocks. Through a unified account system integrating spot trading, derivatives, and RWA products, Gate is further strengthening its cross-market liquidity integration capabilities.
The deflationary mechanism of the platform token GT also continued to advance steadily. In the first quarter of 2026, Gate burned approximately 2.5577 million GT, valued at more than $20.68 million. Total cumulative burns have now exceeded 187 million GT, representing 62.46% of the initial supply, with cumulative burn value reaching $1.382 billion. The platform’s long-term burn mechanism continues to reinforce GT’s scarcity and value support.
Across business lines, multiple product segments achieved coordinated growth in April. Institutional platform CrossEx recorded month-over-month increases of 1769% in assets and 2120% in trading volume. Options trading volume rose 55%. On the on-chain side, Gate Layer surpassed 36.3 million transactions, representing growth of over 11% month-over-month.
Capital inflows and wealth management products also remained strong. Among them, stablecoin GUSD assets under management grew to over $190 million. As market risk appetite gradually recovered, yield-generating products continued attracting capital inflows.
On the AI front, Gate completed the V3 upgrade of its AI system architecture in April, establishing a multi-entry ecosystem spanning Web, App, Bot, and standalone platforms. The company also introduced features including Deep Research and intelligent push notifications, advancing AI from a tool-based application toward a proactive decision-making assistant.
Brand development became another major highlight during the reporting period. To celebrate its 13th anniversary, Gate hosted a series of large-scale events in Hong Kong, including the "Racing the Future" Victoria Harbour crossover exhibition, the 13th Anniversary Blue Carpet Ceremony, and the GATE GALA anniversary dinner. The Victoria Harbour exhibition attracted more than 10,000 visitors on its opening day alone, becoming a city-level cultural hotspot. Meanwhile, the anniversary gala gathered over 300 institutional representatives and industry participants for in-depth discussions on AI, RWA, and multi-asset trends.
In multiple speeches and public appearances, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his latest views on industry development. In his anniversary open letter, he stated that the crypto industry is transitioning from narrative-driven growth toward infrastructure-driven growth, emphasizing that future competition will center on system capabilities rather than standalone products. At the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, he further introduced the "Move Everything On-Chain" vision, arguing that the key divide in future finance will no longer be between traditional finance and crypto, but between on-chain and off-chain assets. He also noted that off-chain assets may increasingly be priced as inefficient assets, while RWA is expected to become the core bridge connecting traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
During an exchange event at The University of Hong Kong, Dr. Han described the crypto industry as fundamentally a game of asymmetric resources and timing, highlighting the importance of building first-mover advantages during uncertain market cycles. In media interviews, he also stated that RWA, AI, and multi-asset ecosystem integration are likely to become the industry’s primary themes over the next one to two years, while AI is gradually evolving from a support tool into an important participant in trading decision-making.
At the same time, Gate continued strengthening its global brand presence. In April, the company officially became the sleeve sponsor of the Inter U23 team and continues to deepen strategic cooperation with international top sports IPs such as the Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1, leveraging major sports IP collaborations to expand global user reach and reinforce a younger brand image. Through multiple offline events and cross-industry partnerships, Gate further strengthened its connection between Web3 and mainstream culture.
Overall, Gate is accelerating its transformation from a trading platform into a comprehensive digital financial ecosystem, built on a multi-asset foundation and driven by AI and on-chain infrastructure. Looking ahead, the platform will continue deepening the integration of multi-asset and on-chain capabilities through an infrastructure-driven strategy, while advancing the coordinated development of RWA, AI, and TradFi to further build a global network for efficient asset circulation and value connectivity.
