Gate's February 2026 Performance Report: Solid Data and Full Confidence

Dear Users and Community Members,

Gate's February 2026 Transparency Report has been officially released. This report is not just a collection of numbers, but a comprehensive summary of the solid efforts and achievements we made over the past month. We are committed to showing you every important step on our development path with an open and transparent attitude.

Here is a detailed breakdown of our key performance points in February:

1. Leadership in Core Business: Strong Market Share and Sustainable Growth
In February, Gate's spot and derivatives business performed excellently worldwide. According to the latest report from reputable media outlet CoinDesk, Gate's market share in the spot market ranks third globally, and in the derivatives market, it ranks fourth. This data fully demonstrates that we are not only a "top student" in the spot trading field but also possess strong competitiveness in the complex derivatives sector. Spot trading volume exceeded 74 billion US dollars, an increase of nearly 11% compared to the previous month. This growth is a direct result of your active participation on the platform and our continuous product optimization.

2. A Breakthrough in TradFi Business: Bridging the Gap Between Traditional and Crypto Assets
TradFi has become a crucial engine in our strategy to connect crypto with traditional finance. In February, Gate TradFi's monthly trading volume reached 95 billion US dollars, with a peak daily turnover of 12 billion US dollars. More importantly, the web version of Gate TradFi has officially completed its testing phase, meaning users can now trade traditional financial assets such as forex, metals, indices, commodities, and some hot stocks directly through both the mobile app and the web under a unified account system. The introduction of the USDT margin mechanism and the MT5 trading system has made our infrastructure for cross-market trading even more seamless, making it easier for you to achieve global asset allocation with a single digital currency.

3. Ecosystem Activity: Strong Growth in On-Chain Data and User Participation
Our decentralized ecosystem also continued to thrive in February. Gate Layer's on-chain trading volume increased by 14% compared to the previous month, indicating a continuous rise in network activity and ecosystem usage intensity. Gate Perp DEX maintained stable operations, and the demand for on-chain derivatives trading remained active. In terms of user incentive activities, HODLer Airdrop and Launchpool continued to attract user participation. The total staked amount of GT under HODLer Airdrop exceeded 25.48 million, corresponding to approximately 1.78 billion US dollars, with a peak APR of 149.29% for the PACT project. Launchpool launched two projects, with the ELON project achieving a peak APR of 540.16% in the last hour. Furthermore, CandyDrop activities drove related contract trading volume to exceed 15.2 billion US dollars, perfectly demonstrating the positive correlation between user activity driven by reward mechanisms and trading volume.

4. Product Innovation: In-depth Development of Intelligent Trading and Institutional Services
In response to the intelligent era, Gate is at the forefront of product innovation. In February, we officially launched GateAI, introducing a natural language trading function that allows users to complete spot trading and financial management operations through chat commands. More importantly, Gate became the world's first trading platform to launch MCP Tools. The first batch includes 17 tools covering the core data capabilities of spot and contract markets, enabling AI agents to directly call data for market analysis and strategy modeling through standard protocols. In terms of institutional business, the average daily turnover of institutional contracts increased by 20% compared to the previous month. We are actively advancing the CrossEx cross-exchange trading system and third-party custody network to provide institutional clients with a more efficient and secure trading experience.

5. Compliance and Global Layout: A Breakthrough in Obtaining European Licenses
Compliance and security have always been the cornerstone of Gate's development. In February, we achieved a significant milestone in this area: our Maltese subsidiary, Gate Technology Ltd, was granted a Payment Institution (PI) license by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). This achievement makes us one of the earliest crypto-native enterprises in Europe to obtain regulatory approval at this level. Coupled with the previously obtained MiCA license, this PI license lays a solid foundation for the expansion of Gate's payment services across the European Union, representing another strong step in our long-term strategy to connect traditional finance and Web3 infrastructure.

In summary, the February data shows that Gate has taken a solid step forward in strengthening its traditional business and expanding into new areas. Whether it's leading market share in spot and derivatives trading, making breakthroughs in the TradFi business, or the forward-looking layout in compliance and artificial intelligence, we are consistently practicing our core philosophy of being "safe, efficient, and user-oriented."

Gate is not just a trading platform; it is your stable and trustworthy companion in the world of digital finance. We invite you to read the full report and witness our development path.
