The asset management scale plummeted from a peak of $1.5 billion to about $300 million, with the core team absorbed by Luxembourg-based institution Belem, and partner Midas urgently terminating the delegation.

On February 26, 2026, the fintech industry experienced a landmark shakeup. Twitter co-founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsey announced in a letter to shareholders and employees that the company would lay off approximately 4,000 employees, nearly half of its workforce. Unlike previous tech company layoffs aimed at cutting costs, Dorsey explicitly linked this sweeping restructuring to the productivity leap brought about by AI tools. He believes that artificial intelligence "fundamentally changes the meaning of building and running a company," and that a leaner team combined with intelligent tools can do more and better.
Following the announcement, Block's stock price surged over 24% in after-hours trading. This stark market reaction reflects the capital market's extreme enthusiasm for companies embracing AI and improving efficiency, and it also triggered a

When the labels “Trump Family” and “Bitcoin Mining Company” are combined, market attention often focuses on the resonance between political hype and crypto narratives.

Is this figure a sign of deteriorating fundamentals or a financial measurement game of digital assets? This article will analyze American Bitcoin’s 2025 financial report, dissecting its data composition, market controversies, and industry deep impacts.

Gate TradFi lowers the barriers to cross-market investing through technological means, allowing users to conveniently trade cryptocurrencies and traditional financial products within a single account, addressing multiple barriers such as accounts, funds, and cognition. Users can use USDT as collateral to enjoy efficient fund transfers without the need for currency exchange, enhancing investment efficiency. The platform covers five core asset categories, enabling easy global asset allocation and providing ordinary investors with a broader range of investment options.

In cryptocurrency contract trading, market volatility and malicious manipulation often lead to instant liquidations of high leverage positions. Gate, by establishing a mark price mechanism and utilizing multiple filters and a dynamic protection system, effectively isolates market noise and reduces users' risk of liquidation. Additionally, Gate's ladder liquidation and new contract circuit breaker strategies provide extra protection for traders. Understanding this mechanism helps traders manage risk more effectively and enhances their ability to survive in volatile markets.

The 2026 crypto market faces historic challenges, with Bitcoin experiencing a pullback and traditional mining costs rising during the halving cycle. Gate BTC mining attracts investors with its hardware-free and liquidity features, despite the annualized return dropping from 9.99% to 5.49%, it remains stable, reflecting a shift in long-term holders' mindset. Market and difficulty risks should be monitored, and Gate employs multiple security measures to adapt to new cycle investment strategies.

Gate Stock Token Zone allows users to trade tokenized US stocks with USDT 24/7 without interruption. The platform supports various popular stocks, offering spot and perpetual contract trading to meet different investment needs and lower the investment threshold. While enjoying convenience, users should still be aware of token rights and price deviation risks.

Since its launch in 2025, Gate Contract Points have awarded users approximately 3.7 million USDT in rewards. Although points cannot be used directly to offset fees, they can generate benefits for users through token exchanges, popular project airdrops, and other methods. Starting in 2026, TradFi trading will also be included in the points calculation, enhancing the value of the points. Please note that points are valid for 15 days, and users should redeem them promptly to prevent expiration. Smart traders focus on how to maximize the value of their points rather than their ability to offset fees.

In 2026, investors in the cryptocurrency market are gradually shifting towards Gate ETF leveraged tokens, which outperform traditional contracts in one-sided market conditions. Gate ETF achieves a compounding effect through an automatic rebalancing mechanism, demonstrating good risk management and cost efficiency whether the market is rising or falling, making it suitable for short-term trend trading. However, in volatile markets, net asset value (NAV) depletion may occur, so caution is advised when choosing trading opportunities.

In recent years, the deep integration between crypto assets and traditional finance has changed significantly, especially with the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the launch of crypto perpetual futures. Gate enhances capital efficiency by tokenizing stocks and offering MT5/CFD trading across diverse assets, while also strengthening compliance and transparency. It has become an important bridge connecting the two, driving the reshaping of the financial system and the development of intelligent Web3.

In cryptocurrency trading, Gas is the "fuel" for operations. Improper settings can lead to transaction failures and fee deductions. The article analyzes three common failure scenarios and introduces Gate's Gas Station feature, which helps users automatically manage Gas fees to avoid missing trading opportunities due to insufficient funds. Understanding the Gas mechanism and using smart tools can improve trading efficiency.

With the rise of digital assets, high-net-worth individuals and institutions face challenges in securely storing and transferring large assets. Gate Private Wealth Management utilizes multi-signature technology and institutional-grade custody solutions to provide clients with a comprehensive security architecture, ensuring internal permission isolation and asset safety. The solution combines precise control models, delayed transfers, independent clearing, and other mechanisms, making it suitable for long-term reserves, quantitative trading, and family offices. It helps reduce risks and improve capital efficiency.

As digital assets continue to grow, secure management of large holdings becomes a key concern for investors. Gate Safe uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to provide users with unlimited storage capacity and robust security measures, including private key sharding and a 48-hour delay in fund arrival, effectively safeguarding large assets. Additionally, access fees are user-friendly, making it suitable for large holders. In market volatility, choosing this safe helps with better asset management.

In 2026, Gate's VIP levels will be based on the "trading volume in the past 30 days + average daily GT holdings" system, becoming an important tool for optimizing returns. Holding GT not only lowers the trading volume threshold but also has a yield-generating function, enhancing users' savings on trading fees and increasing opportunities for airdrops. Holding GT can help users achieve dual benefits, and users should flexibly adjust their assets according to market strategies to maximize returns.

The article analyzes the subscription and redemption mechanisms of Gate financial products, emphasizing the importance of capital flow efficiency. Flexible financial products like Yu Bi Bao and quantitative funds support real-time arrivals, suitable for users who pursue liquidity; fixed-term financial products have lock-up periods with automatic redemptions, resulting in lower liquidity; dual-currency financial products require patience to hold until maturity for settlement, suitable for users with market judgment skills. Understanding these rules helps optimize digital asset allocation.

As of February 27, 2026, the crypto market is undergoing a profound structural reshuffle. According to Gate Market Data, Bitcoin (BTC) repeatedly consolidates around $67,207.3, with a 24-hour volatility range exceeding $2,300; Ethereum (ETH) is priced at $2,016.27, with market sentiment swinging between neutral and bearish; Gate Platform Token GT performs relatively better, trading at $7.13, with a slight 24-hour increase of +0.42%.
In this phase of wide-ranging fluctuations and unclear direction, manual operations in a single direction are facing severe challenges. The launch of GateAI intelligent trading robot is not meant to replace human judgment but to decompose complex market conditions into executable strategy frameworks through a process of verification followed by generation. This article will be based on Gate Market Center data up to 2026.

In digital asset management, reserve funds in Gate's Yubi Bao should be allocated based on the purpose of the funds with clear proportions. It is recommended that 30%-50% of daily trading funds be kept in a savings account, with medium-term stable allocations choosing short-term fixed deposits. Long-term holders should actively participate in the latest promotions to earn excess returns, while also paying attention to liquidity risks and redemption rules.

Gate DEX will have deeply integrated multiple public blockchains by 2026, allowing users to manage cross-chain assets through a simple interface, offering 0% platform fees and low Gas costs. Its smart routing algorithm optimizes transaction liquidity while ensuring security, making it suitable for users who pursue asset autonomy.

As global macro uncertainties intensify, the investment value of precious metals and industrial metals is rising. The Gate platform integrates the Precious Metals Zone and TradFi contracts to support metal derivatives trading. Users need to understand the contract mechanisms, including margin rules, leverage, expiration dates, and holding costs, to participate in trading more effectively. Different contract types require different strategies, and users should also pay attention to fee structures and leverage risks.

On February 26, 2026, on-chain detective ZachXBT as scheduled released his highly anticipated investigative report, targeting the cryptocurrency trading platform Axiom Exchange. The report details multiple employees at the platform allegedly abusing internal support tools to gain access, tracking users' private wallet addresses over a long period, and engaging in insider trading.
The incident quickly sparked deep reflection within the industry on internal governance of exchanges, user privacy protection, and the boundaries of "trust" as a core asset.
