August 14, 2025, Bitcoin price breaking through $124,400, the total market value of global crypto assets has risen to a historical peak of $4.26 trillion.
In this capital feast, Gate Launchpad has performed remarkably since its relaunch in May: the average oversubscription of its three major projects, PFVS, PUMP, and IKA, reached 434 times, with the highest single project attracting over 348 million USD and a maximum first-day increase of 450%.
Through innovative mechanisms such as dual-track risk diversion and time value financialization, Gate Launchpad has become one of the most influential asset issuance platforms in this bull run. As of August 18, Gate’s global users have surpassed 34 million, with market share jumping to second place globally.
Mechanism Revolution, Dual-Track System and the Precise Design of Time Value Financialization
The continuous evolution of the allocation mechanism is the core competitiveness of Gate Launchpad in the fierce market competition. In the three project launches in 2025, the platform achieved a triple breakthrough.
Dual-track risk diversion: In the IKA project, Gate has adopted a dual pool design of USD1 (80%) + GT (20%) for the first time. The USD1 pool avoids GT price Volatility risk provides subscription stability; meanwhile, the GT pool retains arbitrage space (subscription costs can be reduced when GT falls). Market reactions have validated the success of this design — a subscription ratio of 196 million USD1 to 5.13 million GT (nearly 4:1) clearly reveals investors’ risk-averse preferences.
Time Dimension Financialization: The IKA project introduces the "Hourly Snapshot + Proportional Distribution" rule, where the system allocates tokens based on the proportion of the user’s average locked amount per hour to the total pool amount, clearly stating the principle that "the earlier you participate, the higher the returns." This design transforms time into a financial variable, effectively suppressing institutional multi-account strategies and favoring genuine early participants.
Issuance model comparison experiment: Gate has verified two issuance paths through different projects. PFVS adopts a low-volume high-explosion model (10 million supply), achieving a 450% increase on the first day, attracting 35,553 retail investors. PUMP, on the other hand, chooses a strategy of high circulation persistence (2.5 billion supply), achieving a 306-fold oversubscription and maintaining an average daily trading volume of 120 million USD.
Ecological synergy, the growth flywheel of users, assets, and institutional business
The success of the Launchpad is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather a strong synergy with Gate’s overall ecosystem, driving multidimensional growth of users, assets, and businesses.
User and Asset Expansion: Within three months after the relaunch of Launchpad, nearly a thousand on-chain assets were launched on Gate Alpha, P2P business coverage expanded to 80 countries with over 50 fiat currencies, and payment channels exceeded 450 types, resulting in a 5.7% month-on-month increase in user conversion rate.
Rise of Institutional Business: The number of institutional users increased by 27% month-on-month, contract trading volume rose by 33.59%, and the total value of platform reserves reached 10.453 billion USD (excess reserve ratio of 23.09%). Coupled with 100% asset transparency validated by zero-knowledge proofs, this has become a key factor in attracting professional capital.
Product Innovation Linkage: The "Dual Yield Plan" launched on August 12 allows users to automatically transfer their staked BTC, ETH, GT, or USDT in Launchpool to the Yubi Treasure for a fixed term, while simultaneously receiving airdrop rewards and up to 4% annualized yield. This innovation further enhances the efficiency of fund utilization.
Compliance and the future, the ecologicalization of stablecoins and positioning in the global incremental market.
At the bottom layer of mechanism innovation, compliance constitutes the invisible pillar of Gate’s growth. Its future development has clearly defined three major directions:
Global compliance infrastructure: Obtaining the Dubai VASP license in Q2 2025, incorporating the Middle East into the service network, while simultaneously advancing compliance layouts in Lithuania, Japan, and other regions. The platform’s anti-money laundering mechanism has been certified by international authoritative organizations. Against the backdrop of tightening regulations in various countries, such qualifications have become a key differentiated advantage in attracting traditional capital.
Stablecoin Strategy Upgrade: The IKA subscription triggered a migration of $196 million USD1 funds, propelling Gate’s USD1 holdings to the second largest among global exchanges. In the future, USD1 will upgrade from a subscription tool to an ecological base currency, covering trading pairs (BTC/USD1 spread narrowed to 0.1%), lending collateral, and other scenarios.
Deepening in emerging markets: Using Middle Eastern compliance licenses as a lever, combined with localized operations (such as the Dubai SPORT 3 carnival attracting 110,000 users), to leverage incremental funds.
The future three directions of evolution, the paradigm innovation of crypto infrastructure.
Based on the current trajectory, the evolution direction of Gate Launchpad is clearly discernible:
Mechanism refinement: The dual-track system may upgrade to a multi-asset dynamic allocation (such as introducing LST), and the time-weighted rules will increase yields based on the length of the lock-up period. The allocation model will be further optimized, for example, designs like "staged unlocking" will balance project stability with user liquidity needs.
Stablecoin ecosystem closed loop: Based on Glassnode’s prediction that exchange stablecoin holdings will exceed 200 billion USD in 2026, a financial closed loop of trading - staking - derivatives will be constructed. USD1 will expand from a subscription tool to a base currency within the ecosystem, covering a wider range of financial scenarios.
Global Compliance Deepening: Focus on expanding incremental markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, etc., while simultaneously advancing license acquisition and localized operations. The compliance network in over 10 countries will become Gate’s core moat in the new regulatory environment.
Future Outlook
The competitive logic of exchanges has been rewritten. While traditional platforms are contracting their businesses, Gate has transformed a token issuance into a migration of $196 million in stablecoins through a dual-track system, driving its derivatives trading volume to soar by 44% month-on-month (reaching $374 billion).
The future belongs to the visionaries who transform stablecoins from speculative tools into financial infrastructure. With a compliant network covering over 10 countries and an ecosystem base of 34 million users, Gate Launchpad is reshaping the global capital flow of crypto asset issuance with its triple engine of mechanism revolution × ecological synergy × compliant expansion.
