Gate Surpasses Sixty Million Users: From Crypto Venue to Unified Finance Hub

① How Sixty Million Was Reached

Gate said on September 3, 2026, that its registered user count moved past sixty million. The note from founder Dr. Han recalled one million crypto users worldwide at firm start in 2013 versus sixty million on Gate alone now. The path shows clear speed up:
• July 2025: thirty million
• March 2, 2026: fifty million
• August 19, 2026: above fifty one million cited in reserve release
• September 3, 2026: beyond sixty million
Ten million added in about six months to reach fifty, then ten million more in about six months to reach sixty. August 2026 flow data backs active growth: 520.45 million dollars net inflow for the month, third rank among centralized venues, with two seven day cuts at 96.64 million and 78.19 million, both first rank at that time. Volume ranks held second for twenty four hour spot and top three for derivatives. Such flow plus rank shows that new sign ups are not idle; funds move in and books stay deep.

Founder post framed the rise as long term build, not short hype. Early days had low base and thin tools. Current phase has broad asset list, low fee legs, and global rails that pull users from many regions.

② Multi Asset Shift Behind the Growth

The user jump aligns with a shift from pure crypto venue to broad finance hub.

Digital coin coverage above five thousand coins and tokens, giving long tail discovery and early listing for retail.

Equity and fund coverage above twelve thousand eight hundred stock and ETF assets: United States above ten thousand, Hong Kong above fifteen hundred, South Korea above one thousand, Japan near three hundred. Trading runs twenty four hours via gStocks model backed one to one, tradable from one USDT, fractional from 0.01 share, with dividend, split and cross broker move for United States and Hong Kong shares. Fractional help is key for high price shares where a user can size by conviction rather than by nominal price.

Options: nine United States mega cap equity options launched in same week, including NVIDIA, Tesla, Apple, Amazon, settled in USDT, zero platform commission, no separate equity or margin account. This lets crypto users hedge or gain equity exposure without leaving stablecoin balance.

Pre Initial Public Offering and Initial Public Offering Access: tools for early entry, with SpaceX share unlock as recent case. Second unlock gave 7 percent share equal to 8.75 percent of current holdings to user stock accounts.

Unified USD Order Book: merges books for USD, USDC, USD1, RLUSD and other dollar pegged coins into one shared pool, with auto conversion at settlement, cutting manual conversion and easing split depth. Feature is live on Gate App v8.35 and web, reducing need to pre convert.

Derivatives: CoinGlass early September 2026 shows 56.07 percent of world open interest for gas futures for power and heating on Gate, first rank, plus 28.06 percent for Copper, third rank. Gold open interest at 431 million dollars and Silver at 94.53 million, both top two. Such share shows strength beyond crypto.

Copy trading: futures copy new copier count up 136.5 percent week over week, contract for difference copy capital up 26.9 percent, with a 500,000 USDT Elite Trader contest linking volume, return and copier count into Firepower Points. Social tools lower entry barrier for new users who wish to learn from skilled peers.

③ Trust and Reserve Base

Large counts need strong trust tools. Gate has been early with Proof of Reserves, with first proof among major venues.

As of August 19, 2026: total reserves 8.215 billion dollars, overall ratio 127 percent, covering near five hundred assets. Bitcoin excess 22.79 percent, Ether excess 22.05 percent. User holdings in USDT, USDC, USD1, GUSD at 1.578 billion with combined ratio 111.63 percent.

Above one hundred percent ratio gives a buffer. Wide asset cover gives more than two coin proof. Public release cadence lets users track change and compare across venues. Excess ratios for core coins show extra cover where volatility is high.

Pay and wallet layer adds daily use: card works across Visa and Mastercard rails, with Apple Pay and Google Pay link, covering about one hundred fifty million shops in over two hundred regions, now used for AI service subs with cash back up to fifty percent capped at ten USDT through late September. Wallet supports self custody plus easy on ramp to trading.

④ Compliance Footprint

Gate Europe holds MiCA license and Payment Institution license. Other linked firms have filings or approvals in Malta, Bahamas, Japan, Australia, Dubai. This spread gives local rails and clear rules for a global base. Each license adds duty for reporting, user checks, and asset safety.

Europe chief Dr. Giovanni Cunti framed blockchain value as settlement automation and cross market link, with MiCA as base for deeper tie between crypto and TradFi. View is that blockchain can make post trade faster and more open, not just create new coins.

Compliance build also helps card and pay growth, since payment use needs local approval to operate across shops and banks.

⑤ Why the Figure Means Active Use, Not Idle Sign Ups

Raw counts can mislead. Here several signs show live use:

Liquidity depth and top rank for spot and derivatives imply real order flow and tight spreads.

Launchpool August 2026: five new projects, staking volume above 1.2 billion dollars, one pool peak rate 710.68 percent in final hour. Such volume shows users lock funds for early access.

CandyDrop: Bitcoin linked drop drew over forty five thousand users, with broad share.

TradFi lead: RootData Research Aug 24, 2026 lists 1,022 TradFi assets on Gate, 4.2 times second ranked venue, with TradFi volume share 10.7 percent in August, third globally. That lead shows demand for equity and commodity legs.

Inflows stayed positive even in week when Bitcoin fell 3.2 percent and Ether fell 1.9 percent while S and P 500 rose 0.49 percent, with spot Bitcoin and Ether fund inflows at 924.4 million and 824 million. Stable inflow in mixed macro shows cross asset hold.

Event Market also shows use: Big 5 Leagues Points Boost spanning Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, with high support rates for top clubs.

⑥ What Next After Sixty Million

Three paths stand out.

First, deeper merge of crypto and TradFi settlement. USDT settlement for equity options and unified dollar book show stablecoin as core settlement, not just quote. Next steps may add more equity, ETF, metal, forex and commodity legs under one margin and one risk view.

Second, Web3 and AI link. Wallet, Pay and AI units tie together. XYO Crypto Cards prediction game logs daily price calls on chain via XYO Layer One versus AI model, blending play and on chain proof. AI tools also help with risk alerts and trade ideas.

Third, scale to hundreds of millions. That will need more local support, risk controls, edu for leverage and options, and steady reserve and compliance reports. Goal stated in official posts is to build a one stop global finance service that links users, assets and use cases in a more open, efficient and secure way.

Sonuç / Genel Değerlendirme

Sixty million is more than a vanity count. It maps to product breadth — thousands of coins plus thousands of equity assets, round the clock equity access, USDT settled options, unified dollar depth, large commodity derivative share — and to trust tools — 127 percent overall reserve ratio, 22 percent plus excess for Bitcoin and Ether, broad license spread.

In 2026, growth for top venues comes less from single coin hype and more from building a one stop hub where crypto, equity, metal, and energy gas exposure sit in one account, one wallet, one card, with openly posted reserves. Gate sixty million milestone shows that model can pull and keep users across cycles.
