Gate's Derivatives Trading Volume Surges 69.9% in May

Gate, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has achieved a remarkable 69.9% surge in its derivatives trading volume for the month of May, as reported in the latest 2025 Exchange Review. This significant growth has positioned Gate as the top-performing derivatives exchange in terms of month-on-month growth, according to the report. The exchange's derivatives trading volume reached $264 billion, marking the highest growth rate among all tracked platforms. This exceptional performance has led to a 1.20% increase in market share, bringing Gate’s total derivatives market share to 4.13%. This milestone underscores Gate’s rising leadership in the derivatives space, driven by its advanced trading infrastructure, deep liquidity, and commitment to providing a seamless user experience for both retail and institutional users.

Gate’s ascent in the derivatives market is further highlighted by its ranking among the top three exchanges in the Derivatives Benchmark, with a score of 82.6. This ranking places Gate alongside other industry giants such as Binance and Kraken, reflecting its long-term strategy of innovation, product diversification, and global expansion. Gate’s consistent growth in both trading volume and market share demonstrates its ability to thrive in a competitive and evolving market environment.

In addition to its trading performance, Gate has been recognized for its reserve transparency. As of June 2025, Gate’s reserves reached $10.453 billion, covering more than 350 different user assets. The overall reserve ratio stood at 123.09%, with an excess reserve of $1.96 billion. Gate has long been a pioneer in reserve transparency and remains the first exchange to commit to 100% reserve holdings. Notably, its BTC reserve ratio reached 138.7%, while ETH and USDT reserves stood at 113.06% and 112.95% respectively. Other key assets such as GT, DOGE, and XRP also far exceeded the 100% benchmark, reinforcing Gate’s reputation for financial soundness and user protection. From being one of the first to commit to 100% reserves to introducing zero-knowledge proofs, Gate has consistently driven innovation at the intersection of technology and security.

Gate’s industry influence has also expanded through its high-profile partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Beginning with the 2025 Formula 1 season, the Gate brand is featured prominently on the team’s car, race suits, and the helmet of four-time World Champion Max Verstappen. The partnership represents a bold cross-industry collaboration that blends the speed and precision of Formula 1 with the innovation and momentum of Web3. To commemorate this alliance, Gate launched a co-branded digital collectibles campaign, “IN THE MOMENT”, celebrating historic highlights from all 24 race weekends with immersive, on-chain experiences. This marks a flagship entry into sports-themed digital assets and further exemplifies Gate’s commitment to bridging Web2 and Web3 culture.

May was also a landmark month in Gate’s brand evolution. The exchange officially launched its new global domain, Gate.com, and unveiled a redesigned brand logo, marking a significant milestone in its journey to become the next-generation crypto exchange. This strategic rebranding initiative, introduced shortly after Gate’s 12th anniversary celebrations, reflects the platform’s renewed vision: to move beyond technical excellence and into global innovation leadership. As part of this transition, Gate also introduced its new Chinese name, “大门” (Damen), symbolizing a welcoming gateway to the future of crypto for users worldwide. The new domain and visual identity aim to unify Gate’s global brand presence and further enhance user trust across all markets.

Gate’s strong performance across multiple metrics, combined with sustained growth in trading volume, industry-leading reserve transparency, a revitalized global brand identity, and an expanding global presence, solidifies its position as one of the most trusted and forward-looking players in the crypto industry. The latest recognition underscores Gate’s remarkable achievements and reinforces its commitment to shaping the future of digital finance as a true industry leader.
