As the "fund flow valve" of the crypto industry, Launchpool has become a key battleground for exchange competition. In 2025, with the acceleration of stablecoin legislation and the shift in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, market risk appetite is on the rise. Launchpool, with its low barrier to entry, low risk, and instant returns, has once again become the mainstream choice for investors to participate in new projects.
Among mainstream platforms, Gate has quickly gained market attention through strategic innovation. Its Launchpool not only supports low-threshold staking of multiple tokens but also adopts an hourly high-frequency reward distribution method, greatly enhancing capital flexibility, which is particularly friendly to small and medium investors.
Gate Launchpool latest project: Nobody Sausage (NOBODY)
Gate will launch Nobody Sausage (NOBODY) spot trading on September 4th at 18:00 (UTC+8) and start the 307th Launchpool event.
The mining event will take place from September 3rd 18:00 to September 6th 18:00 (UTC+8). Users can stake GT to share a reward of 545,157 NOBODY tokens, receiving airdrops every hour.
Nobody Sausage is a highly influential IP, with over 33 million fans and 3.5 billion views, having a wide-ranging impact globally. It has appeared in events such as the takeover at Seoul Airport in South Korea and plans to further expand its offline influence.
Wealth management interest increase feature: innovative strategy for compounded earnings
The differentiated advantage of Gate Launchpool lies in its financial interest increase feature. Users stake GT and, after choosing to redeem, transfer their assets to the Yubibao [7 days] fixed-term product, thereby receiving an additional airdrop reward of 116.6% on top of the original staking yield.
This combination strategy achieves a yield stacking effect, significantly improving capital utilization efficiency and overall return rate, which is a feature that many other platforms lack.
Low threshold and high returns: Gate’s differentiated advantage
Compared to Binance, OKX, and Bybit, Gate Launchpool offers a lower participation threshold and higher annual yield opportunities.
Users only need 1 GT or 10 USDT to start participating, while Binance mainly requires BNB Stake, and face the problem of reward dilution among millions of participants.
Gate Launchpool offers up to 150% APY during peak demand periods, and sometimes even higher. Data shows that in August, Gate Launchpool launched 10 projects, distributing airdrop rewards worth millions of dollars, attracting over 100,000 participants.
The role of GUSD and RWA asset support
GUSD plays an increasingly important role in the Gate ecosystem. It is a digital financial channel supported by real-world assets (RWA) such as U.S. Treasury bonds, providing users with asset allocation options that have lower risk and more stable returns.
Users can mint GUSD from USDT or USDC at a 1:1 ratio to participate in staking. As of September 1, the total minted amount of GUSD has reached 12.435 million, with a reference annual yield of 4.4%.
In the Launchpool, the reference annualized yield of the GUSD stake pool varies over different periods, for example, it was 8.63% in period 304, while it reached 84.04% in period 305, indicating that the yield will be dynamically adjusted based on market conditions and total stake.
Platform Comparison and Market Positioning
In the 2025 cryptocurrency Launchpool market, Gate stands out with its unique advantages.
Compared to Binance, OKX, and Bybit, Gate offers a lower participation threshold, higher annualized returns, and more frequent opportunities for high-quality project launches.
As an industry giant, Binance’s project annualized return rates are mostly concentrated in the range of 30% to 120%. However, due to the large volume of funds, the actual returns tend to stabilize after users share the rewards.
OKX Jumpstart is positioned in the "stake + project issuance" model, and although it supports a wider variety of staking assets, its popular projects offer a short-term annualized return of about 50% to 180%.
Gate has performed remarkably in terms of returns, with data from June showing that its Launchpool launched 16 projects, with a total airdrop amount exceeding 2.8 million USD and a peak annualized return reaching 1363.1%.
Participation Method and Operation Process
The process of participating in Gate Launchpool is simple and convenient:
- Create an account on Gate.com;
- Complete identity verification;
- Hold GT, USDT, or any required tokens;
- Navigate to Hold and Earn → Launchpool;
- Choose an active event and stake;
- Claim rewards during or after the agricultural period[citation:5.
Gate supports staking of various tokens, including GT, USDT, BTC, ETH, and the newly launched GUSD. Its low threshold design allows users to participate in the activity with just 1 GT or 10 USDT, greatly enhancing accessibility.
Risk Warning and Future Outlook
Despite the attractive returns from Launchpool, participants still need to pay attention to three core risks: the varying quality of projects, limited liquidity for some new tokens after launch; the short duration of high returns, which can easily trigger FOMO among users; and the platform’s fund safety and compliance capabilities.
In the future, the core competition of the Launchpool model will shift from pure yield to project quality management, liquidity support, and user asset security assurance. Innovative features such as cross-chain stake and dynamic yield adjustment may become new differentiating points for various platforms.
According to data, Gate launched 16 new projects in June, with a total airdrop amount exceeding 2.8 million USD, ranking high in the industry. In the future, the core of Launchpool competition will shift from purely yield rates to project quality management, liquidity support, and user asset security assurance.
For investors, while building a portfolio on the Gate Launchpool, it is also necessary to pay attention to market, project, and regulatory risks, which will be key to achieving a balance between the temptation of high returns and long-term stability.
