Gate Expands Its Global Stock Offering, Traditional Stocks and gStocks Grow in Tandem

In Q3 2026, Gate continued to accelerate the growth of its stock business, strengthening the connection between traditional equities and on-chain asset trading. Its stock offering expanded beyond U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean markets to include Japanese stocks. By the end of Q3, Gate offered more than 12,800 global stocks and ETFs, including more than 10,000 U.S. stocks, 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, 1,000 South Korean stocks, and 300 Japanese stocks. With 24/7 trading, fractional-share trading starting at just 0.01 shares, and convenient access via USDT, Gate lowered the barrier to global asset allocation.

Gate’s stock business also grew in scale. In tokenized stocks, gStocks continued to expand its offering, adding more than 40 trading pairs in July across NVIDIA, Tesla, Microsoft, AMD, Meta, SpaceX, and popular ETFs. Trading activity accelerated in August, with monthly trading volume surpassing $2.5 billion. Popular assets including SNDKG, SPCXG, QQQG, and SKHYNIXG accounted for most of the growth. Meanwhile, stock assets surpassed $200 million in August, while cumulative trading volume exceeded $2 billion. Gate ranked among the global Top 2 in overall competitiveness for stock spot trading. As its traditional stock and tokenized stock offerings expand in parallel, Gate continues to build a one-stop global stock trading ecosystem spanning multiple markets, time zones, and both on-chain and off-chain trading scenarios.

Gate CFD Continues to Expand Its Multi-Asset Offering, Upgrading Products and Trading Ecosystem in Parallel

In Q3 2026, building on the multi-asset TradFi trading ecosystem upgrade completed in Q2, Gate CFD further expanded asset coverage and trading depth. It continued to strengthen its offering across stocks, indices, metals, forex, and energy. Supported by a broad range of TradFi assets and stock derivative underlyings, Gate CFD continued to expand its trading pairs during the quarter, reinforcing its multi-asset coverage advantage. Meanwhile, the Copy Trading ecosystem continued to grow. The number of Lead Traders and Copy Trading volume both maintained rapid growth, lowering barriers for users seeking to participate in global markets.

On the product side, Gate CFD continued to enhance trading for popular assets, including gold.

On the market side, Gate CFD launched trading campaigns, airdrops, leaderboards, and new-user offers for popular assets including gold, USDJPY, and crude oil. By combining product enhancements with market initiatives, Gate CFD continued to increase user participation and trading activity while expanding its presence in global TradFi markets.

Gate Pre-IPOs Deepens Full-Cycle Asset Services and Expands Access to Leading Pre-IPOs Investment Opportunities

Gate Pre-IPOs continued to expand its offering of high-quality global Pre-IPOs assets. During the quarter, it introduced its third project, AI unicorn Moonshot AI (KIMI), further strengthening Gate’s leadership in connecting frontier technology companies with the Web3 digital investment market. Through its innovative asset certificate model, Gate provides global users with accessible, convenient, and flexible channels for Pre-IPOs investing, helping them capture long-term value opportunities in high-growth sectors such as AI.

Gate Pre-IPOs also made important progress in asset delivery and liquidity development. The platform completed the scheduled unlocking and distribution of the first 20% tranche of SpaceX (SPCX), as well as the second tranche representing 7% of the target company’s total allocation. It also completed the full unlocking and delivery of OpenAI asset certificates. At the same time, Gate officially opened the dedicated KIMI trading market, further connecting the full process of Pre-IPOs subscriptions, asset certificate transfers, secondary trading, and the unlocking and delivery of actual shares. Gate will continue to introduce more high-quality assets linked to leading technology unicorns, optimize the subscription, trading, and delivery experience, and enhance the liquidity and credibility of Pre-IPOs assets.

Gate IPO Access Expands High-Quality Listings and Opens Global Channels for IPO Subscriptions

Gate IPO Access continued to deepen its product offering with the launch of its second project, globally recognized restaurant company Jersey Mike’s (JMKE). This addition further diversified the platform’s selection of high-quality traditional company assets. Unlike Pre-IPOs, which focus on pre-listing investment opportunities, IPO Access operates at the public listing stage and provides global users with a more convenient channel for IPO subscriptions. It further connects crypto users with global capital markets.

Supported by Gate’s continually expanding TradFi service capabilities, IPO Access continued to optimize project selection, subscription participation, and subsequent asset processing workflows, delivering a clearer and more efficient user experience. Gate will continue to expand its pipeline of high-quality IPO Access projects, covering more traditional companies with industry influence and long-term growth potential. The platform will also continue to improve subscription efficiency and service quality, helping global users conveniently participate in the public listing opportunities of leading companies.

Launchpool Expands Asset Opportunities and Broadens Yield Scenarios Through Innovative Reward Mechanisms

Gate Launchpool maintained strong growth in both project offerings and user participation. During the quarter, it launched 17 high-quality projects, with the number of projects, reward amounts, and user reach all increasing significantly from the previous quarter. Participation opportunities across several mainstream asset pools also expanded notably, with the FOLD project delivering an APR of more than 580% at the close of the event. To accommodate users’ diverse asset holdings, Gate also increased the frequency at which dedicated BTC, ETH, USDT, and GT pools were opened, enabling more holders of mainstream assets to flexibly participate in reward distributions for new projects.

In addition to expanding its project offerings, Launchpool included stock assets in its reward offerings for the first time during the quarter, bringing TradFi asset entitlements into Web3 staking scenarios and effectively broadening reward types and product boundaries. Going forward, Gate will continue to improve the Launchpool experience by increasing campaign frequency, refining reward distribution mechanisms, and optimizing capital efficiency. The platform will also strengthen its selection of high-quality global projects, providing token holders with more convenient and diverse ways to participate in new asset opportunities while enhancing the appeal and activity of the Launchpool ecosystem.

HODLer Airdrop Strengthens Ecosystem Incentives and Expands Benefits for GT Holders

Through HODLer Airdrop, Gate transforms growth opportunities from high-quality new projects into exclusive benefits for GT holders. During the quarter, the platform completed the airdrop distribution for one project. While maintaining a selective number of projects, Gate focused on the quality of project selection and distribution, ensuring that campaign rules, participation steps, and reward delivery were clear and transparent.

HODLer Airdrop is built around GT holdings. Without completing complex actions, users may have the opportunity to receive airdrops from new projects. This extends GT beyond its role as an ecosystem asset and positions it as a benefit vehicle that connects holders with early-stage project opportunities. Gate will continue to identify partner projects with strong growth potential, refine airdrop eligibility and distribution processes, and expand the application of GT holding benefits through a smoother participation experience. These efforts will foster more sustainable value alignment among project teams, the platform, and GT holders.

CandyDrop Expands Task Scenarios and Activates the Airdrop Ecosystem Through Diverse User Interactions

Gate CandyDrop increased user participation and improved trading conversion by continuously expanding its pipeline of high-quality projects and diversifying task designs. During the quarter, the platform launched 13 airdrop projects and distributed approximately $2 million in total rewards. The RLUSD campaign alone attracted more than 80,000 participants. The active task ecosystem also effectively drove trading demand. During the quarter, related Futures trading volume exceeded $20.9 billion, while Spot trading volume reached $613 million, bringing new momentum to platform activity and liquidity.

Building on its existing trading-related tasks, CandyDrop expanded its interactive scenarios into areas such as stocks and prediction markets this quarter, offering users more differentiated ways to participate in airdrops while helping partner projects reach user groups with diverse asset preferences and trading habits. The platform will continue to expand partnerships with high-quality projects, increase the frequency of airdrop campaigns, and refine its task mechanisms around new assets and emerging scenarios, providing users with a richer, more convenient, and more engaging rewards experience.

Simple Earn Expands Multi-Asset Offerings, Demand for VIP Wealth Management Continues to Grow

Gate Simple Earn maintained steady growth, with total assets under management surpassing $1.85 billion, up more than 24% from the previous quarter. USDT assets under management increased by nearly 11%. In terms of product offerings, Simple Earn added flexible subscription services for 85 assets, with a focus on gStocks assets. It also introduced 25 fixed-term earn products, further expanding fixed-term yield options for stablecoins including USDT, USDE, and USDPT.

Differentiated services for high-net-worth users also made positive progress during the quarter. Subscription volume for Simple Earn VIP Fixed Term Earn products exceeded 290 million USDT. Gate also launched multiple VIP-exclusive bonus yield campaigns, with annualized yields on USDT Earn reaching up to 11%. These offerings provided more targeted product solutions for users with varying capital levels and allocation needs. By continuously improving its Flexible Earn, Fixed Term Earn, and VIP product offerings, Simple Earn enhanced the allocation flexibility and capital efficiency of users’ idle assets.

Idle Earn Launches Automatic Yield Generation for Idle Stablecoin Balances

In Q3, Gate launched Idle Earn, a product designed to generate returns on idle stablecoin balances by integrating yield opportunities directly into users’ everyday trading accounts. After users manually enable the service, the system takes daily average balance snapshots of eligible stablecoins held in Spot and Futures accounts and automatically calculates earnings based on effective balances. Users do not need to repeatedly subscribe to Earn products or convert into other assets. Stablecoins enrolled in Idle Earn remain in their original accounts and can be used for trading at any time, improving the efficiency of idle assets while preserving capital flexibility. Idle Earn now supports automatic yield generation for USDT, USDC, and USD1, with total holdings exceeding $300 million to date.

Idle Earn generates returns through relatively lower risk asset classes, including U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, on-chain staking, and RWAs. Gate assumes the corresponding principal protection responsibility and periodically discloses transparency reports on the underlying assets. By integrating multiple stable yield sources and connecting its automatic subscription mechanism with Spot and Futures trading scenarios, Idle Earn reduces the operational burden of managing idle stablecoins. It provides a more convenient and efficient asset management solution for users seeking both liquidity and asset growth.

Staking Reaches a New High, Liquidity Upgrades Unlock On-chain Yield Potential

Gate Staking continued to expand rapidly, with assets under management exceeding $1.27 billion at their quarterly peak, up more than 57% from the end of the previous quarter. During the quarter, Staking added USD1 and SEI, providing users with more diversified options for on-chain asset allocation. Demand for key products also increased, with GUSD flexible Treasury subscriptions reaching a quarterly peak of $257 million and SOL staking volume rising to 662,500 SOL, both setting new all-time highs.

To better balance yield generation with users’ capital utilization needs, Gate upgraded GUSD Flexible US Treasury during the quarter. The product now supports subscriptions and redemptions at any time. Users can redeem at a 1:1 ratio in the original subscription asset without paying redemption fees. This upgrade further reduced the cost of moving funds in and out of the product, allowing users to maintain asset liquidity while earning U.S. Treasury-related yield. It also supports the continued evolution of Staking toward more flexible and efficient asset growth services.

Gate ETF Quarterly Trading Volume Approaches 60 Billion USDT, Product Ecosystem Continues to Expand
