The Middle East situation repeatedly drives safe-haven assets higher, and Gate's multi-asset trading system meets institutional hedging needs.

BieJie News reports that, affected by the continued turbulence in the Middle East, global markets have seen significantly amplified volatility, with the prices of safe-haven assets such as crude oil and gold strengthening, and stock index futures showing sharp fluctuations. Market data indicates that, in recent times, trading volume and open interest for commodity- and index-based derivatives have remained at high levels. Institutional funds are accelerating rotation among different asset classes, and demand for cross-market hedging and portfolio allocation has clearly increased. With institutional participation continuing to rise, the market has put forward higher requirements for trading platforms’ liquidity depth, execution efficiency, and risk control capabilities, and multi-asset and institutional service capabilities have also become core competitive strengths. Gate has built a multi-asset trading system covering metals, stocks, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities; for core contracts such as gold and crude oil, trading volume and open interest have been among the leaders in the industry. According to CoinGlass data, on April 10, the 24-hour contract open interest for Gate’s Brent crude oil (XBR) reached 4.66 million US dollars, with trading volume of 13.52 million US dollars; both figures rank first globally. Meanwhile, Gate has further improved capital allocation and execution efficiency by using “SuperLink” to connect cross-exchange trading and third-party custody over-the-counter (OES) trading. Data shows that over the past year, Gate’s institutional assets under management have doubled, trading scale has remained in the industry’s top three, and institutional fund take-up capacity has continued to strengthen.
