#GateQ3ReportReleased #ShareWeekly
Gate: Delivering Record Growth Across Every Dimension of a True Multi-Asset Financial Ecosystem
Gate continues to set the standard for what a modern, connected financial platform can achieve. In Q3 2026 the platform delivered outstanding results across trading, wealth management, traditional finance access, and overall ecosystem strength, proving once again why it stands among the industry leaders
September derivatives trading volume reached an impressive $396 billion, marking a powerful 38.2% month-over-month increase. This performance placed Gate firmly among the global Top 3 centralized derivatives exchanges, with market share rising to 10.1%. At the same time, spot trading volume climbed to $48.8 billion, up a solid 21.9% month-over-month. These figures are not isolated spikes — they reflect consistent momentum and deep user engagement across both derivatives and spot markets.
RWA perpetual contracts further strengthened Gate’s position, capturing a 9.1% market share and ranking third globally. Quarterly ETF trading volume approached an outstanding 60 billion USDT, while the number of supported ETF trading pairs expanded to 424.
Options trading volume grew 23.8% quarter-over-quarter, and the number of new options trading users surged an impressive 52.1%.
CrossEx quarterly trading volume increased 63%, retained assets grew an extraordinary 902%, and the number of trading users on the product rose approximately 315%
Beyond pure crypto trading, Gate has built one of the most comprehensive traditional finance offerings available on any digital platform. Global stock and ETF coverage expanded to more than 12,800 instruments, spanning the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan. This includes more than 10,000 U.S. stocks, approximately 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, 1,000 South Korean stocks, and 300 Japanese stocks. Users enjoy 24/7 trading, fractional shares starting from just 0.01, and convenient settlement in USDT — significantly lowering barriers to global asset allocation
Tokenized stocks through gStocks delivered remarkable activity. In August alone, gStocks monthly trading volume surpassed $2.5 billion USDT. Stock assets under management exceeded $200 million in August, while cumulative trading volume passed $2 billion. Gate ranked among the global Top 2 in overall competitiveness for stock spot trading. Popular assets such as NVIDIA, Tesla, Microsoft, AMD, Meta, and major ETFs drove much of this growth after more than 40 new trading pairs were added in July
Wealth management results were equally impressive. Simple Earn assets under management surpassed $1.85 billion, representing growth of more than 24% quarter-over-quarter. USDT assets within Simple Earn increased by nearly 11%. The product range expanded with flexible subscription options for 85 additional assets (with strong focus on gStocks) and 25 new fixed-term earn products covering stablecoins including USDT, USDE, and USDPT. VIP Fixed Term Earn products alone attracted subscription volume exceeding 290 million USDT, with promotional annualized yields on USDT Earn reaching as high as 11%
Staking performance reached new heights as well. Gate Staking peak assets under management exceeded $1.27 billion, an increase of more than 57% from the end of Q2. Idle Earn, the automated yield product for USDT, USDC, and USD1, has already accumulated more than $300 million in total holdings. These wealth products give users practical, accessible ways to put idle capital to work while remaining fully integrated within the broader Gate ecosystem
Security and transparency remain foundational. In August, total reserve assets rose to $8.215 billion, delivering an overall reserve ratio of 127%. Cumulative GT token burns reached approximately 192 million tokens, representing a 63.98% reduction from the initial supply.
These metrics reinforce user confidence and demonstrate Gate’s long-term commitment to platform resilience and token value alignment
Additional industry recognition further validated the quarter’s performance. A CryptoQuant report highlighted that Gate recorded a 667% increase in 30-day spot trading volume in August, ranking first across the industry. CoinDesk data confirmed the $396 billion September derivatives figure and the resulting Top 3 ranking. These independent confirmations underscore the strength and consistency of Gate’s growth
The platform’s multi-asset vision is now clearly visible in daily user experience. A single account can access high-volume crypto derivatives and spot markets, more than 12,800 global stocks and ETFs, tokenized equities with $2.5 billion+ monthly volume, Simple Earn holdings above $1.85 billion, Staking above $1.27 billion, automated Idle Earn products, CFDs across multiple asset classes, options with 52.1% new user growth, and emerging payment and infrastructure layers through Gate Card, Gate Layer, and related services
Growth rates across the board tell a coherent story: 38.2% MoM derivatives growth, 21.9% MoM spot growth, 24%+ QoQ Simple Earn expansion, 57%+ Staking growth, 23.8% QoQ options growth, 52.1% new options users, 63% CrossEx volume growth, 902% retained assets growth, 315% CrossEx user growth, 9.1% RWA perpetual market share, 10.1% overall derivatives market share, 127% reserve coverage, and 63.98% GT supply reduction. These percentages and absolute figures together paint a picture of balanced, multi-engine expansion rather than dependence on any single product line
Gate’s continued investment in product depth and ecosystem connectivity means users benefit from both specialized excellence and seamless movement between asset classes. Whether deploying capital into high-liquidity derivatives, allocating across thousands of global equities, generating yield through Simple Earn or Staking, or exploring newer infrastructure and payment tools, the experience remains unified and increasingly powerful
The numbers from Q3 2026 — $396 billion in September derivatives, $48.8 billion in spot, $1.85 billion+ in Simple Earn, $1.27 billion+ in Staking, $2.5 billion+ in gStocks volume, nearly 60 billion USDT in quarterly ETF volume, 12,800+ stocks and ETFs, 127% reserves, and the long list of double- and triple-digit percentage gains — demonstrate that Gate is successfully scaling trading, wealth management, and traditional finance access in parallel. This is the foundation of a true multi-asset financial platform built for the long term.

#EthereumReclaims$2450 #ShareWeekly
Market assessment: ETH, ZEC, Tesla, and semiconductors
There are signs of a short-term recovery in the crypto market. However, whether ETH can sustain its position above $2,450 depends not only on its daily percentage gain but also on trading volume, resistance levels, and overall risk appetite.
Ethereum (ETH)
$2,450.83
+2.46% · 24 hours
Zcash (ZEC)
+8.5%
24-hour change
Critical scenarios for ETH
* Bullish scenario: If ETH holds above $2,450 and confirms this level as support—backed by increasing volume—it may move toward the next resistance zone.
* Uncertain scenario: If the price fluctuates around $2,450, the breakout may not yet be confirmed.
* Pullback scenario: If ETH falls back below $2,450 and fails to reclaim this level, its short-term upward momentum could weaken.
Key point: Surpassing $2,450 does not, by itself, confirm a new uptrend. Determining the next resistance level requires an analysis of the current chart, trading volume, and price peaks formed in the recent past. Ethereum (ETH)
$2,449.43
+$60.15 (2.52%)
Market Cap | Daily Low: 2,377.24
Annual Low: 1,512.07 | EPS (Trailing twelve months)
Daily High: 2,471.1 | Annual High: 4,246.23
According to current technical analysis sources, the first key resistance level for ETH is around $2,470, with the next resistance at $2,533. The immediate support zone is near $2,413. These levels may vary depending on the indicators and timeframes used.
Other market developments
1. Tesla — earnings expectations
Tesla will announce its third-quarter financial results after the market closes on October 21, 2026. The company’s delivery figure of 486,532 vehicles is already known; the primary question is whether profitability and operating margins will meet expectations. Investors will also be watching for updates regarding artificial intelligence, robotaxis, and capital expenditures.
2. SK Hynix — semiconductor rally
Shares of SK Hynix and Samsung have stood out in the recovery of the South Korean market. While demand for memory chips to support AI infrastructure remains a tailwind, factors such as high valuations, competition from Chinese manufacturers, and concerns regarding global technology spending could make it difficult for the rally to continue.
3. ZEC — strong daily gain
An 8.5% increase may signal short-term buying interest. However, a single day’s movement does not prove a lasting improvement in the overall sentiment of the crypto market. It is important to see an increase in trading volume and for the gains to be sustained in subsequent sessions.
4. U.S.–Iran diplomacy and oil
If news of mediation strengthens expectations that tensions will ease, it could exert downward pressure on oil prices. Conversely, supply risks could provide support for oil. The direction of oil prices may also influence risky assets through its impact on inflation and interest rate expectations.
5. Cboe — extended options trading hours
As of October 19, Cboe has introduced extended trading sessions for certain stock and ETF options: from 7:30 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. (Eastern Time). This expands the opportunity to trade specific options following news events, such as earnings releases; however, liquidity and bid-ask spreads during these extended hours should be carefully considered.
Overall conclusion: What should be monitored in the market?
ETH: A potential breakout above the $2,470 resistance level.
ZEC: Whether daily gains can be sustained, alongside trading volume.
Tesla: Profit margins, cash flow, and earnings expectations.
SK Hynix: Demand for AI-related memory and the broader outlook for the sector.
Oil: Developments between the U.S. and Iran, and potential supply risks.
My assessment: The short-term outlook for ETH depends on whether it can overcome the resistance near $2,470. Sustaining a position above this level could strengthen a bullish scenario, while a rejection might shift focus toward the $2,413 support level. Tesla’s earnings results and global risk appetite may also influence the direction of market movements. These are conditional scenarios; they do not constitute definitive price forecasts or investment advice.

#KOSPIFalls3.17%AtOpen
#日韩股集体大跌 $SKHY $SAMSUNG $SNDK
Today is “-3.17% at the open.” The more useful story is what happened after the open.
1. The open vs the first hour
KOSPI opened at 5,488.41, down 179.64 points from Friday’s 5,668.05. Before the bell, indications had Samsung about 5.8% lower and SK hynix 6.8% lower. By mid-morning Samsung was down roughly 1% and SK hynix 2% to 3%. The index briefly turned positive, touching about 5,705 (+0.66%), before fading back. That’s a swing of about 3.9% from the open (my math). The panic gap got bought. Foreign investors reportedly flipped to net buyers early, then went back to net selling.
2. Where it came from
Friday’s US session: Nasdaq -2.15%, S&P 500 -1.09%. Micron fell 5.63%, Broadcom 4.52%, SK hynix’s US receipts 6.58% and AMD 5.95%. One report calls it the worst week for the S&P and Nasdaq in nearly four months. The stated triggers were doubts about the profitability of AI spending, worries about debt-financed AI buildouts, and expectations of faster rate hikes.
3. The October scoreboard and drawdown math
Reportedly, Samsung fell 19.7% and SK hynix 28.4% between October 1 and Friday, making the KOSPI the worst major index this month. Drawdowns are asymmetric: SK hynix needs about +40% to get back to its October 1 level, and Samsung about +25% (my math). Foreign investors also sold more than 11 trillion won of Korean shares last week.
4. Chart check (levels from my screenshots)
Samsung at 215,500: support at 211,236 (-2.0%), 14-day at 251,500 (+16.7%), 35-day at 257,729 (+19.6%). RSI is 31, down from 33 on Friday.
SK hynix (US receipts) at 136.4: sitting on support at 136.0. The 145.57 support I flagged on Friday failed, and price is now about 6% below it. RSI is 27.6.
Micron at 878.67: support at 876.03, and the 916 level failed too. RSI is 34.
SanDisk at 1,298.8: support at 1,294.9. RSI is 29.7.
An RSI under 30 means stretched, not reversed. The repeated support failures are what I’d respect more.
5. What could push KOSPI lower, and what could steady it
Lower: continued foreign selling, the AI-debt worries and rate-hike expectations. One analyst warns the index could break below 5,000 in a worst case, about 9% under the open (my math), while another projects a 5,200–5,900 range. Steadier: Nasdaq 100 futures were up about 1% on Monday morning, and Samsung is holding up better than SK hynix. Big Tech earnings this week, including Meta and Tesla, are the next catalysts.
6. Levels on the index
The open at 5,488 undercut Thursday’s 5,554 close, and buyers took it back within an hour. To call it stabilization, I need a close back above Friday’s 5,668.
My take: a gap that gets bought is better than one that sells into the close, but it isn’t a trend change yet. The driver is US AI funding fear, not Korea-specific news, so I’m watching US futures, foreign flows and earnings more than the KOSPI chart. I’m not calling a bottom.
Not financial advice.
Do you read the intraday recovery as real dip-buying or just a bounce inside a downtrend? And what would make you trust it: a close above 5,668 or foreign buying?

#TeslaRoadsterSparksMemeCoinSurge
Could the buzz surrounding the Tesla Roadster sustain the upward momentum of $FTR?
The key distinction here is that a viral narrative can often outlive the price surge it initially triggers. While the unveiling of a futuristic Roadster—complete with SpaceX-inspired thrusters—might draw attention to related crypto tokens, securing lasting gains requires much more than just social media momentum.
For $FTR, the critical question is: will new buyers continue to enter the market once the initial excitement fades, or will early investors seize the opportunity to sell off their holdings?
What could happen next?
1. A continued uptrend
Content related to the Roadster continues to spread, trading volume remains high, liquidity deepens, and the token attracts new investors. This could extend the rally, though it offers no guarantee of further gains.
2. A volatile, sideways market
Social engagement remains high, but new buying activity slows down. Price fluctuations become more intense as investors scramble to anticipate the next viral post.
3. A sharp reversal
Interest shifts elsewhere, early investors take profits, or liquidity dries up. A token that rises based on a narrative rather than fundamental data can experience a steep decline—even if the original story remains popular.
What do the latest developments tell us?
Recent news confirms that the Roadster reveal has indeed sparked activity in the associated tokens. However, the connection to $FTR appears to be based more on a "meme" (internet joke/culture) narrative than on an official business relationship. The token’s own website explicitly states that it has no affiliation with Tesla, SpaceX, or Elon Musk.
This distinction is significant: while the engineering story behind Tesla may hold lasting importance, the value of $FTR remains largely driven by speculation.
Five signals to watch
Trading volume Trading volume remaining high over several days
Liquidity Sufficient liquidity to absorb selling pressure without causing a sharp collapse in price
Number of investors An increase in genuine new investors, rather than just trading activity between existing wallets
Price structure Price stabilizing at certain levels during pullbacks, rather than
consistently breaking through support levels
Social interest Continued engagement even after the initial buzz surrounding the launch has faded
Exercise extra caution in scenarios where the price rises while liquidity is falling, or where a large portion of the total supply is concentrated in just a few wallets.
What about $TSLA and $SPCX?
* $TSLA: Tesla stock is backed by actual business operations; the Roadster model is merely one component, alongside factors such as vehicle deliveries, profitability, autonomous driving technologies, and future growth potential.
* $SPCX: First, verify the asset in question. A token or derivative product using the ticker "SPCX" does not necessarily represent shares in or ownership rights to the company SpaceX.
* $FTR: Do not view this as a way to invest in Tesla or SpaceX; rather, consider it a speculative "meme coin" (a crypto asset driven by pop culture). Tokens with similar names or contract addresses may cause confusion.
In summary
Based on my assessment, the momentum behind $FTR could persist as long as there is continued interest, liquidity, and an influx of new buyers; however, you must also account for the possibility of a sudden reversal. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that the current rally is sustainable; it would be unwise to base long-term projections on short-term percentage gains.
A final note: Tesla has announced a production target for 2028; therefore, the demonstration that has gone viral on social media is not proof that the vehicle is ready for mass production.
If you are considering $FTR as a trading opportunity, the most logical approach is to examine the current price, market capitalization, liquidity, and 24-hour trading volume as a whole, rather than focusing solely on the price.

‍#韩林博士受邀牛津大学辩论社演讲
This event marks a significant milestone in integrating cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance systems into mainstream academic and historical discourse.
Event Details
* Speaker: Dr. Lin Han (Founder and CEO of Gate)
* Date and Time: Thursday, November 12, 2026, 15:30 GMT
* Venue: The Oxford Union Society, St Michael's Street, Oxford, United Kingdom
* Milestone: The first founder/CEO of a leading cryptocurrency trading platform to speak at the Oxford Union.
Key Topics and Focus Areas
1. The Future of Money and Global Value Transfer: How blockchain technology and digital assets are reshaping cross-border financial architecture.
2. The Gate Money Ecosystem: Insights into Gate's ecosystem solutions and their role in facilitating seamless global asset transfers.
3. Crypto Integration and Regulation: The intersection of decentralized finance, institutional adoption, and future financial stability.
My questions for Dr. Han Lin at the Oxford Union:
1. How can Gate Money make cryptocurrency reliable, accessible, and a practical part of daily life for people around the world, while ensuring transparency, security, and financial freedom?
2. The Decentralization Balance vs. Web3 Usability
The Oxford Union has a history of debating the balance of power. As crypto exchanges like Gate grow to serve millions globally, how do you reconcile maintaining a centralized user-friendly bridge with the ultimate ethos of decentralization and user self-sovereignty?
3. The Future of Global Financial Inclusion
Traditional global money transfers remain slow and expensive for billions in developing economies. Beyond trading and speculation, what concrete steps is Gate taking to ensure digital assets genuinely lower barriers for the unbanked world?
4. Regulatory Evolution & Mainstream Adoption
Many institutional investors and regulators still view digital assets with skepticism. How can platforms like Gate champion clearer global standards without sacrificing the core permissionless innovation that makes crypto unique?
Participation and Access Guidelines
* Admission Policy: Registration or RSVP serves the purpose of calendar reminders and logistical planning; however, entry to the hall will be strictly on a "first-come, first-served" basis.
* Requirements: Attendees must present their Oxford Union membership cards, if applicable. Due to limited seating capacity, early arrival at the venue is strongly recommended.
Here’s my take:
Gate’s appearance at the Oxford Union is a significant branding opportunity. Discussing crypto, the future of money, and Gate Money on a stage associated with influential thinkers could help connect digital assets with mainstream financial discussions. The real impact, however, will depend on the substance of the speech and whether it leads to greater trust, adoption, and practical use.
I believe that the future of money is not just about faster transactions; what truly matters is building trust and facilitating global value transfer for everyone. I look forward to hearing Dr. Han Lin’s vision!

‍#Ledger事件损失近9000万
1. The $90M Ledger Supply Chain Compromise: How Much Security Work Remains?
The reported losses serve as a major wake-up call for the entire crypto industry. On October 9, 2026, a blockchain analytics firm estimated that approximately $92.9 million had been drained from 311 wallets associated with purchased Ledger devices. This figure is an estimate for research purposes, not a final, independently verified total loss.
The recent $90M+ exploit involving tampered Ledger hardware wallets—linked to third-party reseller distribution and hardware implants—highlights a fundamental shift in crypto threat vectors. As on-chain smart contracts and cryptographic signing standards have matured, attackers are increasingly targeting physical distribution pipelines, supply chains, and client-side dependencies rather than attempting to crack open core cryptography.
Where crypto security still falls short:
* Physical Supply-Chain Integrity: Hardware wallets are sold through complex global reseller networks. Guaranteeing cryptographic "Genuine Checks" on devices that pass through unauthorized or compromised intermediate vendors remains an unsolved physical attack surface.
* Blind Signing & Verification Gaps: Users frequently approve transactions without full visibility into exact parameters on-screen, exposing them to phishing and malicious payload injections.
* Over-Reliance on Single-Point Self-Custody: Multi-signature setups (Multi-Sig), Account Abstraction and Threshold Signature Schemes are still underutilized by average retail users, leaving seed phrase extraction or single device compromises catastrophic.
This incident represents one of the most critical security events in the hardware wallet space. While Ledger’s core infrastructure remains uncompromised, the scale of the drain (~$90–$93M across 300+ wallets) exposes severe structural risks in physical supply chains and distribution networks.
Areas where the industry still needs to strengthen defenses:
Supply chain verification: Tamper-evident packaging, device authentication, and more rigorous reseller vetting.
Safer wallet setup: Clear warnings and verification steps before users transfer significant funds.
Transaction protection: Multi-signature wallets, spending limits, and independent transaction checks for larger assets.
Incident response: Faster coordination among wallet manufacturers, exchanges, blockchain researchers, and stablecoin issuers.
What users should do: Anyone who purchased a Ledger from the vendor mentioned in the reports should follow Ledger's current security guidelines. If the device has already been initialized, it may be necessary to transfer funds to a trusted, verified signer using a newly generated recovery phrase. Never enter your existing recovery phrase into a website or share it with support staff.
The broader lesson is that self-custody requires more than just owning a hardware wallet. Security must encompass the entire process, from production to final processing.
1. Key Analysis of the Incident
* Supply Chain Interception: The evidence—specifically automated drains acting on pre-established private keys across hundreds of wallets—strongly points to pre-tampered devices or intercepted supply chains. Reports indicating custom hardware implants or modified firmware capable of covertly exfiltrating seed phrases bypass traditional software-level checks (like Ledger’s "Genuine Check").
auditing.
3. Actionable Recommendations for Users
If you or anyone in your network purchased a device through localized third-party vendors recently:
1. Immediate Asset Migration: If you activated a device purchased through this distributor within the past 90–120 days, immediately transfer all funds to a safe, trusted location (e.g., a non-custodial software wallet set up on a secure, clean machine, or a separate factory-direct hardware wallet).
2. Do Not Activate Unused Devices: If you received a device from this distributor that has not yet been set up, do not unbox or power it on.
3. Verify Generation of Seed Phrases: Never use pre-printed recovery phrases or cards provided inside packaging. Ensure the device itself generates a completely new seed phrase upon initial setup.
4. Source Directly: Purchase self-custody hardware directly from the manufacturer whenever possible to shorten the supply chain logistics chain.
* Single Point of Failure in Authorized Resellers: Buying from authorized resellers was previously considered equivalent to buying direct. This attack demonstrates that localized third-party distributors can become compromised hubs, whether through internal bad actors or intercepted transit logistics.
* Automated Exploitation: On-chain forensic data shows the attacker conducted multi-chain test runs weeks in advance. Once initialized, automated scripts executed sweeping batch transactions within seconds, proving the attacker held full seed phrase access before users even funded their wallets.
2. Practical Security Assessment
Tampered Hardware Devices Severe (Direct key exposure) Reseller sales halted; users advised to migrate.
Ledger Hardware/Firmware Core Low (No global breach) No direct evidence of core Ledger system breach.
Centralized Secondary Sales High Third-party distribution models require tighter cryptographic
My take: this is a serious warning that hardware-wallet security depends on the entire supply chain, not just the device manufacturer. If the reported losses are linked to tampered devices, the incident exposes a major weakness in the idea that buying a hardware wallet automatically makes your crypto safe.
