Gate Releases Q2 2025 Report: Surpassing 30 Million Users, Spot Trading Ranks as the Global Top 2
Gate, one of the world's leading digital asset platforms, has released its Q2 2025 operating report with impressive results despite the volatile market environment. With its global registered user base officially surpassing 30 million, Gate continues to maintain a steady growth rate and establishes itself as one of the most influential exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry today.
User base surpasses 30 million and spot trading volume breaks through
Amid a deep correction in the cryptocurrency market and weakening speculative sentiment, Gate has shown remarkable resilience. The number of new users in Q2 increased sharply compared to the same period last year, clearly reflecting the growing appeal of the platform.
Notably, Gate's spot trading volume recorded over $110 billion in April alone, up more than 14% month-on-month. As a result, Gate rose to second place among global centralized exchanges with nearly 10% market share. This is an outstanding achievement when most other platforms witnessed a decline in volume due to market volatility.
In the derivatives segment, Gate continued to achieve impressive growth both quarterly and annually. Leveraged trading volume continuously set new records, becoming an important driving force for the overall performance of the platform.
Diversified products create momentum for the ecosystem
Gate continues to expand its diverse product matrix to optimize user experience. The Launchpad, Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop product lines all delivered positive results. Launchpad alone, the Puffverse (PFVS) project attracted over $656 million in subscriptions. Launchpool saw many tokens increase in price by over 100%, while CandyDrop listed over 30 new projects.
Gate Alpha, a new product that simulates the DEX experience on a CEX platform, recorded nearly 1,000 new projects listed quickly in Q2 and hundreds of thousands of cumulative trading users. Alpha Point campaigns and smart asset selection mechanisms help Gate maintain its leading position in high-frequency trading.
In the institutional segment, derivatives trading volume increased by 33% QoQ, while institutional spot and derivatives users increased by 27%. Improvements in latency and experience have gradually made Gate the top choice for professional investors.
In the asset management sector, Gate added 56 new assets to Simple Earn, providing flexible investment options with fixed-term plans with USDT yields up to 4.5% and VIP APR up to 150%. Gate Wallet continues to upgrade both security and user interface, launching the Gate Wallet Touch feature supporting NFC, aiming for a smarter and safer digital asset experience.
Enhancing asset transparency and expanding compliance
Gate continues to affirm its commitment to protecting user assets through reserve transparency and strict compliance strategies. As of June 2025, the total reserves of the platform reached more than 10.4 billion USD, with an overall reserve ratio of 123.09%. Core assets such as BTC, ETH and USDT all have reserve ratios exceeding 100%, of which BTC alone reached 138.7%. Gate also promotes the application of zero-knowledge proof (zk-proof) technology, contributing to improving system transparency and security.
Legally, Gate Technology FZE has been officially granted a VASP license by VARA in Dubai, allowing it to provide digital asset services to both institutional, qualified and retail investors. This is an important step in Gate's compliance globalization strategy, expanding its presence in key markets.
Strengthening the content ecosystem and increasing global brand influence
In the second quarter, Gate invested heavily in the content ecosystem and community interaction. The Gate Learn platform continuously updated in-depth content in Chinese and English, helping users improve their understanding of the market. Gate Research improved the quality of its series of reports such as Bi-weekly Quantitative, On-chain Data Report, Monthly Market Review, etc. to support investors in making more accurate decisions.
The user interface of Gate Square and Community Center was comprehensively upgraded, significantly increasing traffic and interaction activities. At the same time, brand initiatives such as partnerships with Oracle Red Bull Racing and goalkeeper Yann Sommer have contributed to increasing recognition and emotional connection with the global user community.
Gate also organized a series of community events such as SPORT3 Sports Carnival, WCTC Global Trading Competition and VIP Airdrop Festival, helping to strengthen user engagement and maintain the dynamism of the ecosystem.
Looking ahead
Gate closed the second quarter of 2025 with many important milestones in user growth, product performance, legal compliance, security and brand development. Despite the market volatility, Gate maintained its technology-centric and user-centric strategy, continued to invest in product innovation and expanded the global ecosystem.
The platform aims to become the next generation cryptocurrency exchange, leading the wave of innovation and sustainable development in the global blockchain industry.
