Gate December Data Fully Explodes: Derivatives Industry Leader in Growth, Ecosystem with Over 100 Million Addresses

Gate’s latest December transparency report shows that the trading platform experienced comprehensive growth at the end of the year. From trading volume to ecosystem activity and global compliance layout, Gate is setting new records across multiple dimensions. The behind-the-scenes reflection of this report indicates the platform’s enhanced competitiveness by the end of 2025.

Trading Data Hits New Highs, Derivatives Lead Industry Growth

According to the latest data, Gate’s performance in the trading market is particularly impressive. In December, its derivatives market share reached 11%. Over the course of the year, Gate’s derivatives market share increased by a total of 9.32%, ranking first among centralized trading platforms, more than double that of the second-place platform. In the spot market, Gate’s December market share growth also remains among the top three.

What does this mean? In a context where derivatives market growth has become the industry mainstream, Gate not only keeps pace but is accelerating past competitors. This leading growth rate indicates that the platform is attracting more traders’ attention.

Ecosystem Activity Fully Heating Up

December’s ecosystem data is equally impressive. Gate Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, CandyDrop, and Launchpad, four major project launch platforms, collectively launched nearly 30 projects, with a total prize pool exceeding $3.5 million. Behind these figures is Gate providing users with opportunities to participate in new projects.

Even more noteworthy is that the number of addresses on Gate Layer surpassed 100 million in December. This is a milestone data point—directly reflecting the scale expansion of ecosystem participants. From tens of millions to 100 million addresses, each number represents the real activity level of the ecosystem.

Multi-dimensional expansion of ecosystem layout

• Nearly 30 projects launched monthly on project launch platforms
• Prize pools exceeding $3.5 million in a single month
• Gate Layer addresses surpass 100 million
• These figures collectively outline the rapid growth of the ecosystem

Global Compliance and Brand Influence Simultaneously Rising

In addition to trading data and ecosystem indicators, Gate has also made significant progress in global layout. Gate Group’s main entity, Gate Technology FZE, has officially launched operations, marking further improvement in the platform’s compliance framework.

In terms of brand influence, Gate, as an official sponsor of the F1 Red Bull Racing team, hosted VIP viewing events during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This international-level brand exposure is enhancing the platform’s global recognition.

International recognition has also followed. Gate was named “Excellence Benchmark in the Crypto Industry,” ranked first on BeInCrypto’s 2025 Best Spot Exchange list, and received multiple awards including “Best Centralized Exchange” and “Best Brand of the Year.” These awards are not only honors but also industry recognition of the platform’s overall strength.

• BeInCrypto 2025 Best Spot Exchange
• BeInCrypto 100 Awards: Best Centralized Exchange, Brand of the Year

Continuous Product Innovation

Related news indicates that Gate continues to innovate its product features. Gate TradFi contracts have expanded to include trading in gold, forex, indices, commodities, and popular stocks, demonstrating the platform’s extension into a broader range of asset classes. Meanwhile, Gate Launchpad’s sixth project, Immunefi (IMU), is about to launch, supporting dual-currency subscriptions in USD1 and GUSD, further lowering user participation barriers.

These product developments show that Gate is consolidating its existing advantages while continuously broadening its service boundaries.

Substantial Enhancement of Market Position

From this December report, Gate is making concerted efforts in three dimensions: growth in trading volume, expansion of ecosystem activity, and enhancement of global branding. The derivatives market share growth being the industry’s number one is especially significant—it indicates that Gate is gaining more market share in the most competitive sector.

My personal view is that these data reflect not only Gate’s growth but also market recognition of its comprehensive competitiveness. In an increasingly fierce competition among crypto exchanges, achieving simultaneous growth across derivatives, spot, and ecosystem is no easy feat.

Summary

Gate’s December performance report highlights several key points: derivatives market share growth leading the industry, top three spot market share increase in December, ecosystem addresses surpassing 100 million, and continuous international recognition. These figures collectively depict a trading platform’s comprehensive growth at year-end.

For market participants, this means Gate’s position in the industry is rising. For the platform itself, these data also confirm the effectiveness of its multi-dimensional competitiveness. As 2026 begins, this platform has already demonstrated impressive momentum.
