#GateReserveRatio117%
Gate just published its latest Proof of Reserves report, and the headline number is 117%.
That means for every dollar of user assets on the platform, the exchange is holding $1.17 in reserves. The coverage spans nearly 500 different assets. BTC sits at 24.2% excess, ETH at 22.02%, and the combined stablecoin basket (USDT, USDC, USD1, GUSD) reaches 118.97%.
These figures are not a one-off snapshot. Gate has consistently reported reserve ratios above 100% across multiple reporting cycles, using verifiable methods that allow users to check the data themselves. In an industr

#GateRanksTop6GlobalCEX
Gate currently sits 6th among global centralized exchanges by tracked assets, with roughly $5.25 billion according to DeFiLlama data.
That ranking reflects more than just size. The platform continues to report a 117% reserve ratio meaning it holds more assets than user liabilities across nearly 500 tokens. BTC and ETH both sit comfortably above 100% coverage, and the stablecoin basket (USDT, USDC, USD1, GUSD) is also overcollateralized.
At the same time, Gate has been expanding beyond pure crypto trading. The product suite now includes stocks, ETFs, wealth products,

#USIranTalksSendOilPricesSharplyLower
Oil prices just took a sharp hit after President Trump announced that U.S.-Iran negotiations have officially begun.
He said he had called off planned military strikes at the request of Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, citing progress on the “perimeters of a deal.” The talks center on two core issues: the immediate and complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.
Markets reacted fast. The geopolitical risk premium that had been supporting crude prices unwound quickly. WTI dropped nearly 7% intraday at one point,

#SituationalAwarenessPlunges67%InJuly
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness fund just took one of the sharpest monthly hits of the year.
July’s AI stock rout cut the portfolio by roughly 67%. The fund had been heavily long AI infrastructure names Sandisk, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave and similar plays while shorting software stocks. Both sides moved against it at once. With leverage running near 4x, the drawdown quickly turned into a margin-call spiral.
To raise cash, the firm sold the bulk of its public equity book to Ken Griffin’s Citadel. Aschenbrenner told investors the firm had com

#BitcoinSmallTransfersHitPostFTXHigh
On-chain data just showed something we haven’t seen since the FTX collapse.
CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno flagged that daily Bitcoin transfers under 1 BTC hit 39,600 BTC the highest level since mid-November 2022, only about 300 BTC short of the post-FTX record. The timing lines up with the ongoing Coldcard hardware wallet incident, where users have been actively moving funds out of potentially compromised addresses.
Moreno called it a positive signal: people are taking action rather than sitting still. That reading makes sense. Small-value transfers on this

#GateCardUpTo8%Cashback
Gate Card just removed most of the friction that usually comes with crypto spending cards.
Verified Gate users can now apply without submitting proof of address or going through another KYC round. Virtual cards are typically approved in 3–5 minutes. No annual fee, no monthly fee.
The cashback structure runs up to 8%, paid in USDT or GT, with tiers that scale based on either your existing VIP level or monthly card spend. Higher tiers also raise the monthly cap (up to 400 USDT). New cardholders currently get a limited 100 USDT voucher plus an eSIM data pack.
It works wit

#GateStocksZeroFees
Gate just removed its platform trading fees on U.S. stocks and ETFs.
Buy or sell zero commission. No minimums, no account opening fees, no maintenance charges. The offer covers more than 10,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, with 24/7 access and fractional shares starting at 0.01.
This is the first time a major crypto exchange has taken this step. You can fund positions directly with USDT without converting to fiat first, and the stocks are real securities held through licensed brokerage infrastructure rather than synthetic tokens.
Third-party costs still apply (SEC fees, settleme

#ColdcardExploitDrains89M
A 2021 firmware flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets has been exploited in three waves, draining roughly 1,367 BTC (around $89 million) from 4,585 addresses.
The root issue was a coding error that routed seed generation through a weak software RNG instead of the device’s hardware random number generator. This left many seeds with far less entropy than expected roughly 40 bits on affected Mk3 devices. Attackers were able to recreate those seeds offline and sweep the corresponding addresses without ever touching a single physical wallet.
The first wave alone took 1,083 BT

#FedHoldsRatesSteady
The Fed held the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%–3.75% for the fifth consecutive meeting. The decision itself was expected. The vote was not.
It landed 9-3, with Cleveland’s Beth Hammack, Minneapolis’s Neel Kashkari, and Dallas’s Lorie Logan all dissenting in favor of an immediate 25 basis-point hike. That’s the first time since 2016 that three FOMC members have voted the same way against the majority.
Chair Kevin Warsh called it a “good family fight” and made clear he welcomed the disagreement. His message on inflation stayed blunt: if prices remain elevated and refus

#USD1StakingEarnUpTo8%APR
Idle stablecoins are still one of the most overlooked costs in crypto.
Gate’s current USD1 soft staking offer addresses that directly. Hold USD1 in your account and earn up to 8% APR with daily payouts. No lock-up, no impact on trading or withdrawals, and the minimum starts at just 1 USD1.
Rewards are calculated from hourly balance snapshots averaged across the day, so the system reflects actual holdings rather than a single end-of-day figure. The APR adjusts daily based on the remaining reward pool and total platform holdings.
USD1 itself is issued by World Liberty

#GateStocksZeroFees
The Zero-Fee Revolution Just Hit U.S. Stocks
Let's talk about something that actually moves the needle for everyday investors.
Gate just became the first crypto exchange to offer zero trading fees on U.S. stocks and ETFs . No commissions. No account fees. No minimums. Buy and sell for exactly what the market charges— nothing more.
This isn't a limited-time promotion. This is a structural shift in how crypto-native investors access the world's largest equity market.
What Zero Fees Actually Means
Here's the breakdown of what's covered:
10,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs across NYS

#USD1StakingEarnUpTo8%APR
The 8% Yield That Doesn't Lock You Up
Let's cut through the marketing fluff. You've seen "up to X% APR" promises before. Usually there is a catch. Lock-up periods. Hidden fees. Complex DeFi vaults that expose you to smart contract risk. Or the yield is sustainable for about a week before it crashes to 0.5%.
Gate's USD1 staking product is different. Here is why I actually pay attention to this one.
The Structure: Simple, Transparent, and Liquid
The basic mechanics are refreshingly straightforward. Hold USD1 in your account and earn yield automatically. No manual staki

#CXMTMarketCapBreaks4Trillion
4 Trillion in Four Days: CXMT Just Rewrote China's Market History
Let's be direct about this number: 4 trillion yuan.
A company went from IPO to a market cap exceeding 4 trillion yuan in just four trading days. This isn't a fairy tale. This is CXMT rewriting the rules of China's stock market in real time.
From 8.66 Yuan to 60 Yuan: A Textbook Price Discovery
On July 27, CXMT listed on Shanghai's STAR Market at 8.66 yuan per share. It closed the day at 49 yuan — up 465.82%. Intraday, it hit 55 yuan, a staggering 531% gain from the offering price. The first-day tur

#SKHynixSurges25%
The Day Korea's Market Rewrote History
Let's talk about one of the most insane trading days in stock market history.
The KOSPI just surged 1,001 points 17.91% in a single session . That is the largest single-day gain ever recorded for the index. To put that in perspective, the index had plunged 1,162 points over the previous three days, and it recovered 86% of those losses in one day .
SK Hynix led the charge, jumping 29.95% to 1,718,000 won, hitting its daily ceiling for the first time in 17 years . Samsung Electronics wasn't far behind, soaring 26.81% .
This was a "reveng

#StrategyReports8.2BQuarterlyLoss
The "Never Sell" Era Just Ended. Strategy Just Did the Unthinkable.
Let’s call it what it is. The headline is terrifying: **$8.22 billion quarterly loss.** A swing from $10 billion in profit last year to a $24.45 per share loss this quarter . For most companies, this is a death knell.
But for Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), this is just the cost of playing the game at the highest level.
The Paper Loss That Isn't a Loss
Here is the crucial detail the mainstream headlines are missing. Almost the entire $8.22 billion net loss comes from an **$8.32 billion unr

#GateCardUpTo8%Cashback
Stop Spending. Start Earning.
Let's be honest. For years, the crypto community has been told we could "live on crypto," but the reality always fell short. Clunky applications. Hidden fees. Rewards that barely covered a coffee. Gate just flipped that narrative on its head.
The updated Gate Card isn't just a payment tool. It is a rewards engine for your daily life .
Here is the first thing that caught my attention. The application process has been stripped down to the essentials. If you are already a verified Gate user, you do not need to dig up a utility bill for proof

#GUSDYieldRisesto3.8%
GUSD Yield Rises to 3.8%: The DeFi Landscape Just Got a Serious Upgrade
Let’s cut through the noise. In a market where finding a reliable, sustainable yield feels like hunting for a unicorn, Gate.io just dropped something that actually makes sense. The GUSD minting mechanism has been upgraded to support 1:1 minting with USD1, pushing the yield to a rock-solid 3.8% APR .
But this isn't just another stablecoin yield. Here is the breakdown of why this matters, and why I believe GUSD is becoming the backbone of a smarter crypto portfolio.
The Real Yield: Backed by More Than

#HamasAndIsraelReachCeasefire
Hamas has confirmed it accepted a detailed roadmap for a Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel.
The framework includes phased disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups, a gradual Israeli military withdrawal once that process advances, and the eventual handover of security responsibilities to a new Palestinian police force working alongside an international stabilization force. Trump described it as a “historic agreement” the same day it was announced.
Israel has not yet issued a formal public confirmation of acceptance. Both sides have already signalled conditions an

#VIPExclusive4%APY
Idle USDT is expensive.
Most of us keep a decent cash position ready for the next move, but sitting on unproductive stablecoins is just slow leakage. Gate just raised the bar for VIP members with a fixed-term boost that actually makes sense right now.
30-day USDT is running at 4% APY.
7-day sits at 3.8% APY.
Both are fixed-term, so the rate is locked once you subscribe. Quota is limited and it’s first-come, first-served, which means the better rates won’t stay open forever. This is available only to VIP users through the VIP Exclusive section in Simple Earn.
I treat this as

#GUSDYieldRisesto3.8%
GUSD Just Got a Major Upgrade. Here's Why It Matters.
Let me be direct: most stablecoins are boring. They sit in your wallet, do nothing, and slowly lose value to inflation. GUSD was already different. Now, it's even better.
The Upgrade Nobody Asked For—But Everyone Needed
Gate just rolled out 1:1 minting support for USD1. If you've been paying attention to the stablecoin space, you know USD1 isn't some random token. It's the World Liberty Financial stablecoin, backed by BitGo, anchored to cash and short-duration U.S. Treasuries, and currently sitting at roughly $4.5 bil
