#GateCardPointsSystemLaunched
Gate has officially launched the Gate Card Points System, introducing one of the most competitive crypto card rewards programs available.
The new system features up to 8% cashback, non-expiring reward points, and a tier-based structure that rewards both trading activity and everyday spending.
Tier Structure
Tier| Cashback| Monthly Cap| Single Transaction Cap
T0| 1.00%| 500 Points (5 USDT)| 200 Points
T1| 1.00%| 5,000 Points (50 USDT)| 1,500 Points
T2| 2.00%| 10,000 Points (100 USDT)| 3,000 Points
T3| 3.00%| 15,000 Points (150 USDT)| 5,000 Points
T4| 5.00%| 25,000 Points (250 USDT)| 8,000 Points
T5| 8.00%| 40,000 Points (400 USDT)| 15,000 Points
How Tier Upgrades Work
Users can qualify through either:
• Gate VIP level
OR
• Monthly card spending (USD)
Whichever qualifies for the higher tier is automatically applied.
• T0: VIP 0–4 (no minimum spending)
• T5: VIP 13–14 or $15,000 in monthly card spending
Tier upgrades become effective the following calendar month and remain active for the entire month.
What Makes It Different?
1. Non-Expiring Points
Unlike many traditional reward programs, Gate Card points never expire, allowing users to accumulate rewards indefinitely.
2. Transparent Redemption
• 100 Points = 1 USDT
• Minimum redemption: 50 Points (0.5 USDT)
• Redeemable for USDT and GT, with additional cryptocurrencies planned.
3. Global Acceptance
The Gate Card is a Visa Platinum card accepted across:
• 200+ countries
• Approximately 150 million Visa merchant locations
Users can spend supported cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, and GT while earning cashback through the points system.
Why It Matters
The crypto card market has traditionally faced three major challenges:
• Complicated reward structures
• Expiring reward points
• Low cashback rates
Gate's new Points System addresses all three by offering:
• Up to 8% flat cashback
• No category restrictions
• No rotating rewards
• No expiration on points
Even the T2 tier (2% cashback) matches or exceeds the rewards offered by many traditional flat-rate payment cards while maintaining crypto-native flexibility.
Trading & User Takeaway
The Gate Card Points System is designed to reward long-term engagement rather than one-time promotions.
Its combination of permanent reward points, tier-based incentives, and straightforward redemption creates a loyalty model focused on sustained usage.
What to Watch
• User adoption of higher reward tiers
• Monthly spending growth
• Future cryptocurrency redemption options
• Expansion of Gate Card utility
• Growth in crypto payment adoption
Positioning
• Compare your VIP level and monthly spending to maximize your reward tier.
• Accumulate points without worrying about expiration.
• Monitor future redemption options as additional cryptocurrencies are added.

#加密市场观察 FOMC July meeting preview: Are rate hikes near or far away?
The Federal Reserve will hold an FOMC meeting on July 28 and 29 in the Eastern Time zone of the U.S., and the interest rate decision will land at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 30. Affected by recent turmoil in the Middle East, the risk of an inflation rebound has risen somewhat, which may also make this policy meeting a key focus for funds this week.
First segment: Market outlook expectations — referencing CME Fed Watch data
FedWatch is a free tool launched by the CME Group. By relying on trading data of interest rate futures, it calculates the probabilities of interest rate changes. Through observation of this data, we can often understand how market funds are betting on the Fed’s interest rate direction.
CME FedWatch July rate-hike probability: Currently, the U.S. federal funds rate remains in the 3.5%-3.75% range. Based on today’s market pricing, the probability that this meeting will raise the rate to 3.75%-4% (a 25bp hike) is 37.9%, and market expectations for a rate hike are still edging higher.
Second segment: The biggest change! The interpretation logic in the Waller and Powell era is completely different
During the tenure of former Chair Powell, he was accustomed to releasing guided signals and was willing to hint to the market, so people could infer a rough timetable for where rates might go in the future.
But after the new Chair Waller took office, the way he communicates has changed noticeably: he deliberately stays cautious, refuses to give advance projections about the future path of interest rates, and is also unwilling to clearly map out a rate path. Overall, policy adjustments follow economic data flexibly. Therefore, in Waller’s remarks at the July meeting press conference, we should no longer try to pick apart hints such as “in which month rate cuts will happen, in which month rate hikes will happen, and how rates will move in the future.” Instead, we should focus on the following directions: ① How Waller assesses current inflation pressures; ② His view on the current U.S. employment situation and economic resilience; ③ His thinking about future Fed reform and the progress so far. A rundown of Waller’s recently stated public views (July 15 — Senate hearing):
"I’m not satisfied with any inflation indicator."
"The labor market looks quite good, but inflation is not so optimistic."
"We will review our tools, including the balance sheet and interest rates, to see whether adjustments are needed to address inflation."
"The fact that the inflation rate has been consistently above the 2% target over the past five years is itself the Fed’s failure to do its job, and we must maintain zero tolerance for persistently high inflation."
"Tools to curb inflation include interest rate tools, and we have the ability to do this."……
Third segment: Pin down inflation — the U.S. June PCE data
PCE is the Fed’s core inflation gauge. The latest data for this round will be released at the same time on the evening of the 30th. Another inflation observation indicator, June CPI, has already shown a downward trend due to prior adjustments in oil prices. U.S. June core PCE price index month-over-month: previous 0.3% forecast 0.2% actual ? (to be released at 20:30 on July 30)
