GT Ecosystem: Over 180 Million GT Burned, Deflationary Mechanism Advances
Gate continued to advance GT's deflationary mechanism. In July 2025, the platform burned 1,922,789.196841 GT (worth approximately $39.01 million) for Q2 2025.

To date, a total of 180,555,112 GT—about 60.18% of the initial supply—has been burned, with an aggregate burn value of roughly $2.748 billion.
As the core asset of the Gate platform ecosystem, GT has been subject to an active deflationary mechanism since the launch of the GateChain mainnet in 2019. High-frequency burns effectively reduce supply and enhance the token's intrinsic value. The ongoing and predictable burning system, coupled with GT's broad utility across governance, platform services, and product usage, further consolidates its value foundation and medium- to long-term growth prospects. Gate will continue to rigorously execute the established burn program in compliance with regulatory requirements, thereby enhancing both the scarcity and ecosystem influence of GT.
Rising Reserve Levels: Enhancing Financial Strength and Transparency
Gate's reserve fund continues to grow steadily, further demonstrating the platform's robust financial strength and strong commitment to transparency. As of July 2025, Gate's total reserves reached $10.504 billion, maintaining an impressive overall reserve ratio of 126.03%. Excess reserves grew 10.66% month-over-month to $2.17 billion, sustaining industry-leading positions. Meanwhile, as of the latest data released on August 8, 2025, Gate’s total reserves have further risen to USD 12.02 billion, with a total reserve ratio of 123.98%, demonstrating that the platform continues to strengthen its overall financial strength while maintaining a high reserve ratio. Core digital assets including BTC, ETH, and USDT maintain robust reserve ratios of 144.40%, 123.71%, and 116.23% respectively. Popular assets including GT, DOGE, and XRP substantially exceed the 100% benchmark with reserve ratios of 156.81%, 109.42%, and 115.52% respectively.
Gate continues to honor its public reserve and third-party audit commitments through cutting-edge zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proofs, Merkle tree structures, cold and hot wallet ownership verification, and regular user asset snapshots, establishing a trusted and verifiable asset security architecture.
