#GateOctober2026 One Gate, Everything Money Building a Global Financial Ecosystem
The biggest development at Gate in October was not simply the launch of another product. It was the connection of several financial services into one broader ecosystem. With its “One Gate, Everything Money” strategy, Gate is moving beyond cryptocurrency trading by linking digital assets, global bank accounts, stocks, ETFs, wealth management and everyday payments.

Gate Money officially launched in October, becoming a central part of this transformation. Eligible users in supported regions can apply for electronic bank accounts in their own names, manage fiat and digital assets, transfer funds and connect investments with payment services. The platform also plans to expand into additional markets, including Europe, Australia and Dubai, with incoming payments expected to support more than 60 local currencies.

Its practical advantage is the attempt to reduce the distance between holding an asset and using money. Gate Money supports SWIFT deposits and withdrawals in USD, EUR, GBP and AED. USD account opening remains free, while monthly account management and USD withdrawal fees were reduced by 50%, to 1 USDT and 25 USDT respectively. VIP5 users and above can receive a waiver of the account management fee.

Gate Card strengthened this direction with an upgraded auto top-up feature. It now connects four account types Spot, Gate Money, Simple Earn and stock accounts and supports automatic transfers across 14 crypto and tokenized stock assets. Users can customize the funding order, making it easier to use eligible holdings when card balances are insufficient. This creates a more connected experience between investments, account balances and everyday spending.

Traditional finance becomes a bigger part of Gate

Gate TradFi continued expanding its multi-asset offering. Its stock trading coverage reached more than 12,800 stocks and ETFs across five markets: the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The breakdown included more than 10,000 US stocks, 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, 1,000 Korean stocks, 300 Japanese stocks and 19 Taiwanese stocks.

Cumulative gStocks trading volume exceeded $8.4 billion, including more than $2.2 billion over the latest 30-day period reported. Gate ETF monthly trading volume approached 20 billion USDT, with 430 supported trading pairs. New leveraged ETF products linked to themes such as AI, semiconductors and technology stocks broadened the available choices.

Gate CFD also introduced weekend gold trading, with leverage of up to 1,000x. Extended trading access may offer more flexibility, but high leverage can magnify losses just as quickly as gains. Product expansion is meaningful only when users understand the risks attached to each instrument.

Trading, wealth management and automation gained momentum

October's activity extended beyond spot and derivatives. Gate Launchpool recorded more than $575 million in cumulative monthly staking volume across three new projects. Gate Idle Earn assets exceeded $340 million, while Simple Earn reported growth in average daily participation and holdings across major assets.

Simple Earn's average daily participation increased 2.49% month over month, and the average daily number of asset holders rose 3.43%. Holdings of USDT, BTC, ETH and SOL increased by 8.82%, 2.06%, 9.85% and 8.87%, respectively. Additional rewards distributed through the product increased 61.04%.

Trading automation also showed stronger engagement. Average daily capital deployed in AI-generated trading bot strategies rose 80.57%, while stock portfolio strategies increased 52.17%. Gate introduced a Futures Combo Strategy that allows users to combine two to ten futures contracts within one strategy.

Prediction Markets crossed $900 million in cumulative trading volume by the end of October. Monthly volume reached $73.3 million, and the service ranked second among Polymarket integration channels by cumulative volume. A dedicated macroeconomic markets page brought together events involving interest rates, inflation, employment, economic growth and recession risks.

On-chain activity expanded as well: monthly Perp DEX trading volume increased by more than 45% month over month, while GateSwap transactions rose by over 46%. Futures copy trading volume also grew, with average daily volume increasing 26.36%.

These figures show that Gate's development is no longer concentrated in one trading category. It is building multiple ways for users to trade, manage idle assets, follow market events and automate strategies.

Security and institutional infrastructure remain essential

Growth in financial services must be supported by credible asset protection. Gate's October Proof of Reserves report showed total reserves of $8.688 billion, up 5.7% from the previous reporting period. Customer net assets were reported at $7.332 billion, and the overall reserve ratio increased to 118.49%.

BTC reserves stood at 121.60% and ETH reserves at 123.78%. The combined reserve ratio for USDT, USD1, GUSD and USDC was 116.59%. These figures indicate reported reserves above corresponding customer holdings across the listed assets. Proof of Reserves is an important transparency measure, although it should be considered alongside liabilities, custody arrangements and other risk controls.

Institutional services also advanced. CrossEx expanded support for stocks and ETFs and strengthened its unified-margin framework across nine trading platforms, while maintaining segregated asset custody. Execution and market-data infrastructure received further improvements, including an estimated 0.5–1 millisecond reduction in order-processing latency on the CrossEx-Gate connection.

Market data offered another indication of Gate's trading scale. DefiLlama reported $12.77 billion in 24-hour derivatives volume on October 20, placing Gate third among global centralized exchanges. CoinDesk's October Exchange Review also highlighted Gate's spot market-share growth, ranking it second globally in market-share gains.

Global brand development and the next stage

Gate's presence at TOKEN2049 Singapore connected product expansion with international brand development. Founder and CEO Dr. Han presented the “One Gate, Everything Money” vision and officially introduced Gate Money. The company also hosted Gate Gala 2026, media engagements and exclusive activities with Oracle Red Bull Racing during the Singapore Grand Prix.

Interviews with international media, including Fortune and CoinDesk, helped communicate the strategy behind connecting traditional finance with digital assets. Gate Research, Gate Learn and Gate Blog continued publishing market analysis, investment education and product information across crypto, traditional markets and emerging technologies.

The larger picture is clear: Gate is attempting to build a financial platform where trading, investing, banking services, payments and wealth management work together rather than operate as disconnected products.

The real test will be execution. More markets, more assets and more features do not automatically create a better financial experience. Reliability, transparent costs, regulatory permissions, asset security and consistent service quality will determine whether users adopt these services for everyday financial needs.

October's figures show meaningful progress across several business lines. Gate Money provides the strategic direction, while Gate TradFi, Gate Card, wealth management, institutional services and trading infrastructure provide the supporting pieces.

“One Gate, Everything Money” is therefore more than a product slogan. It is a long-term attempt to connect how people hold, move, invest and spend their money and its success will depend on turning that ambition into a trusted, practical global financial experience.
