#Gate13thAnniversaryLive

Gate io’s 13th Year Turns Into a Global Carnival Connecting Web3, Entertainment, and Community

April–May 2026 marked a historic milestone for Gate.io, one of the crypto industry’s longest-running exchanges. Founded in 2013 and operating continuously for 13 years, Gate transformed its 13th anniversary into a massive global celebration campaign under the theme “Your Gateway to iWeb3.” Under the #Gate13thAnniversaryLive tag, the events went beyond a typical anniversary—delivering a multi-dimensional ecosystem activation that blends trading, rewards, live streaming, gamification, and physical events.
Timeline: A 50-Day Crypto Carnival
April 9, 2026: Celebrations officially kicked off with the Early Bird Boarding Plan.
April 15 – May 27, 2026: The Gate DEX “13th Anniversary New World Explorers Program” opened with a 69,300 USDT prize pool.

The same day, the “Racing the Future” outdoor exhibition featuring a Red Bull Racing F1 car launched at K11 MUSEA’s waterfront.
The 13th Year by the Numbers: Campaign Highlights
1. DEX Explorers Program – 69,300 USDT
Users unlock four different “footprints” through on-chain transactions, social engagement, and trading volume. Those who complete all four footprints share a 16,000 USDT pool, up to 300 USDT per user. Tasks include: 13,000 USDT in perps volume, at least 13 days with 1,300 USDT daily volume across a 51-day period, and 13 on-chain interactions of 1,300 USDT each.

2. ETF Special Event – 80,000 USDT
From April 15 to May 27, users earn 1 USDT for daily check-ins via ETF trading, and 8 USDT per referral. Those who reach 5 million USDT in cumulative volume receive a 13x reward multiplier.

3. WCTC S8 Global Trading Competition – 8,000,000 USDT
Held in honor of the 13th anniversary from April 23 to May 20, WCTC Season 8 featured team battles, individual contests, and 1v1 King PK formats with a total 8 million USDT distribution. New users received a 20 USDT trial coupon, and the top 30 teams earned a 3,000 USDT bonus.

4. Gate Live Streamer Rewards
New streamers joined the prize pool by completing 10 streams, each at least 45 minutes, within 21 days.
“Gateway to iWeb3”: More Than an Exchange, a Cultural Platform
Over 13 years, Gate evolved from a spot trading platform into a comprehensive financial ecosystem with 50 million+ registered users. The anniversary celebration highlighted this evolution across three areas:

1. Entertainment + Trading Integration: The Gate Live carnival merged trading with streaming. Users learned, traded, and earned rewards simultaneously. It was described as “a strategic power move” that expands beyond traditional trading boundaries into entertainment, gamification, and real-world partnerships.

2. Physical Brand Activation: The Red Bull Racing F1 partnership in Hong Kong and the “OFFICIAL SLEEVE PARTNER” activation with Inter Milan showcased Gate’s strategy of connecting Web3 with mainstream sports and culture. The “Racing the Future” exhibition at K11 MUSEA attracted thousands of visitors.

3. Community and Culture: Gate used symbolic products like the “Token of Love Light Saber” to explain Web3 through music festivals. The Token of Love Music Festival in Hong Kong and Singapore was highlighted as an example. The goal: “More than transactions,” moving Web3 culture into the mainstream.
Market Outlook and Community Response
On Gate Square, users reflected on the 13-year journey: “At the beginning, if the chart went up I was happy. If it went down, I panicked. Over time I understood Bitcoin isn’t really understood by staring at a screen.” Another post said: “Bitcoin will no longer be discussed as a risky asset. It will likely evolve into a global macro benchmark — closer to digital gold.”

Bitcoin traded between $74,000 and $78,500 during the 13th anniversary period. Institutional passive buying absorbed dips below 75k. Gate users noted daily gains of 0.53% at $78,106.
Why It Matters: Surviving 13 Years
Thirteen years is a major threshold for crypto exchanges. Gate is one of the few platforms that has operated continuously since 2013, surviving multiple bull-bear cycles. The anniversary symbolizes “the evolution of the sector from a niche experiment to global financial infrastructure.”

Conclusion: #Gate13thAnniversaryLive was more than a celebration. With a 50-day calendar, an 8 million USDT WCTC, F1 and Inter Milan collaborations, a live-streaming economy, and DEX gamification, Gate expanded the definition of “exchange.” The Hong Kong gala attended by Dr. Han and the F1 exhibition at Victoria Harbour showed Web3 entering Wall Street and sports arenas.

The summary of 13 years: from transactions to culture, from charts to community. For Gate, the next 13 years will be about opening the “iWeb3” gateway even wider.
