#GateJuneTransparencyReport

Gate just dropped its June Transparency Report, and the numbers are honestly impressive. The platform is pushing hard into traditional finance while keeping its crypto roots strong, and the growth across multiple fronts is hard to ignore.

Strong Growth Across Core Metrics

The most eye-catching figure is the spot trading volume. Gate saw a 50.8% month-on-month surge to $66.1 billion in June, which was the highest growth rate among all major centralized exchanges globally. This pushed Gate back into the top three spot exchanges worldwide, with market share jumping 1.55 percentage points to 5.95%, its highest level since October 2025.

The derivatives side is just as strong. Gate held a 9.52% market share in derivatives with $369 billion in volume, ranking fourth globally. More importantly, the open interest market share hit 10.8%, placing Gate third among all derivatives platforms.

Institutional Adoption Is Accelerating

The institutional business is growing fast. Spot trading volume from institutional clients increased 49.39% month-on-month, with Bitcoin and Ethereum trading volumes rising 95.42% and 72.50% respectively. CryptoQuant even ranked Gate first globally in average institutional trade size across Bitcoin and Ethereum spot and perpetual markets. More quant funds, market makers, and asset managers are coming onboard, with several major clients expected to scale up in Q3.

Prediction Market and ETF Performance

The prediction market was a standout performer. Monthly trading volume hit $280 million in June, an increase of over 145% month-on-month, making Gate Polymarket the top channel for Polymarket activity. The World Cup has been the main driver, and the platform has rolled out dedicated features to keep the momentum going.

ETF trading also held strong with monthly volume approaching $20 billion, supported by 356 trading pairs. The user base is active, with 257,000 monthly traders and an average trading volume of about $77,700 per person.

Expanding into Traditional Finance

June was a big month for Gate's TradFi push. The platform launched real stock trading for US, Hong Kong, and South Korean markets, letting users trade over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs directly with USDT. The IPO Access feature also went live, with SpaceX being the first project. Gate Wealth, a global asset management service covering digital assets, stocks, ETFs, commodities, and more, was officially launched as well.

Strong Financial Health

On the security and transparency front, Gate reported total reserves of $8.182 billion with a 115% reserve ratio, well above the industry standard. Bitcoin reserves stood at 147% and Ethereum at 196.5%, with over 500 assets verified. The platform also holds regulatory licenses or registrations in Europe, Japan, Dubai, and Australia, reinforcing its global compliance efforts.

Bottom Line

The June report paints a picture of a platform that is not just growing, but evolving. The push into stocks, wealth management, and institutional services is gaining traction, while the core crypto products are performing well. It is a lot of moving pieces, but so far the execution seems to be working.
