Gate GUSD Minting Newcomer Limited-Time Rewards—Episode 11 is live. New users can earn an annualized yield of up to 100%.

Gate News, according to the Gate official announcement on April 14, 2026. Gate launches the GUSD minting newcomer limited-time reward, Episode 11.

GUSD is Gate’s launched ongoing principal-protected wealth management product. Its yield is sourced from income generated by the Gate ecosystem, Treasury RWA, and high-quality yield assets supported by stablecoins. After users mint GUSD, they can receive daily annualized yield. Upon redemption, they are exchanged for USDT/USDC at a 1:1 ratio (after deducting redemption fees). While users participate in other wealth management products such as Launchpool and Launchpad, the GUSD they hold can simultaneously earn the corresponding product wealth management yield, GUSD minting rewards, and campaign rewards. Only eligible new users can enjoy the annualized rewards of this campaign, including users who have never held GUSD spot, have never participated in GUSD minting distributions, and have never earned coins on-chain. The annualized yield rate will be dynamically adjusted based on the yield performance of Gate ecosystem income, Treasury RWA, and stablecoin-related assets.
