📢 The exchange that swims against the current in a Bear Market: Gate 2025 Q3 data blooms comprehensively!

I just finished watching @Gate_zh's third quarter report and I was quite shocked, especially in the context of the overall decline in trading volume. This quarter's growth data for Gate is indeed worth praising.

🎯 First, let's look at the most core sets of data:

➤ The number of global users has surpassed 41 million+, truly entering the first tier of global exchanges.

➤ The spot trading volume in September reached 117 billion USD, with a market share of 5.47%, an increase of 2.87 percentage points year-to-date.
➤ The contract (derivative) sector is even more exaggerated, soaring nearly 99% month-on-month in August, with market share also rising to 10.1%.

➤ The total reserves amount to approximately 12 billion USD, with a reserve ratio as high as 123.98%, which belongs to the safety level of over-coverage.

These numbers are not isolated; behind them, we can actually see that #Gate's current strategy is moving towards stabilizing the ecosystem and strong growth in two directions.

For example, if the spot market share can steadily increase, it indicates that liquidity and user retention are doing well, with volume and depth, so trading is naturally active; while the contract volume has almost doubled, which further shows that it is attracting professional users, and the capital structure is also upgrading, no longer just a retail market.

The security aspect has not been neglected either. A reserve ratio exceeding 100% itself speaks volumes; it is not only a guarantee of asset security but also a management of trust costs by the platform. For institutions or large-volume users, such indicators are more valuable as a reference than the launch of new coins.

In terms of ecology, Gate has also been busy in the past few months, with the number of new tokens launched increasing by over 200% year-on-year, and it is building its own Layer 2 network (with TPS exceeding 5700). This means that it is not just an exchange, but more like building a complete Web3 infrastructure, attempting to connect trading, stablecoins (GUSD), and the on-chain ecosystem together.

💡 Overall, there are two key points:

Firstly, while it is seizing market share, it can also maintain the safety of reserves and ecological construction, which is quite a rare balance.

Secondly, the growth structure is becoming increasingly healthy, showing signs of a long-term trajectory, evolving from a pure trading platform to an ecological trading network.

@Gate's strategy for 2025 is very clear. I feel that it is not blindly expanding now, but rather seeking steady progress, supporting growth with real trading data and security trust, and driving long-term value through ecosystem building.

If Gate can maintain this pace, I feel that its competitiveness will be more stable in the future.
