$GT In Q1 2026, the destruction volume exceeded 4 million tokens, with triple revenue support accelerating deflation

Gate.io officially celebrates its 13th anniversary milestone. In this first quarter of 2026, GT buyback and destruction achieved a historic breakthrough, with the total destruction expected to surpass 4 million GT tokens, setting a new quarterly destruction record in nearly two years, and significantly enhancing deflation strength.

This buyback and destruction fund no longer relies solely on traditional spot and contract transaction fees but is supported by three core revenue sources, elevating value capture capabilities:

1. Basic platform trading fees: 20% of net profit from core businesses such as spot, contracts, leverage, and lending is rigidly allocated
2. Gate TradFi new fees: Profits contributed across compliant traditional financial sectors like stock tokens, commodities, and forex CFDs
3. Gate Chain on-chain burning: Mainnet gas fees and on-chain application ecosystem fees are integrated into the destruction fund pool, forming a “buyback + chain burn” dual deflation mechanism

In the current context where GT prices are relatively low, the same scale of destruction funds can buy back more tokens, achieving the best deflation efficiency in nearly three years. Coupled with the full-scale explosion of the 13th-anniversary platform ecosystem, continuous user growth, and expanding compliance footprint, GT’s scarcity enters an accelerated accumulation phase.

In the long term, as multiple revenue streams continuously feed into the destruction pool and circulating supply shrinks, GT’s value support will become more solid. This round of high-intensity destruction also marks Gate’s 13th anniversary as the most hardcore ecosystem benefit and value declaration.
