Gate released its Transparency Report for April 2026, outlining continued operational growth supported by the expansion of its multi-asset ecosystem, advancements in artificial intelligence capabilities, and broader global brand initiatives. The report described the company’s ongoing transition from a crypto trading venue toward a wider digital financial infrastructure platform.
According to the report, the platform’s user base has surpassed 53 million accounts, while the number of supported assets has expanded beyond 4,600. Gate also continued developing its multi-asset trading ecosystem, with third-party market data indicating that the exchange now offers more than 430 traditional finance CFD products alongside over 70 tokenized stock assets. Through its unified account framework, which combines spot trading, derivatives, and real-world asset products, the platform said it is strengthening liquidity integration across different market segments.
The report also highlighted continued progress in the deflationary mechanism tied to the platform token GT. During the first quarter of 2026, approximately 2.5577 million GT tokens, valued at more than $20.68 million, were removed from circulation. Total cumulative burns have now exceeded 187 million GT, representing 62.46% of the original supply, while the cumulative burn value has reached approximately $1.382 billion. Gate stated that the long-term token burn mechanism continues to support scarcity and reinforce the token’s broader value framework.
Several business divisions recorded significant expansion during April. Institutional trading platform CrossEx posted month-over-month increases of 1769% in managed assets and 2120% in trading volume, while options trading activity rose by 55%. On-chain infrastructure platform Gate Layer processed more than 36.3 million transactions during the period, representing monthly growth exceeding 11%.
Capital inflows and wealth management products also maintained upward momentum. Assets under management for stablecoin product GUSD reportedly climbed above $190 million as demand for yield-generating products strengthened alongside improving market sentiment.
In the AI segment, Gate completed the V3 upgrade of its AI system architecture, establishing a multi-channel ecosystem spanning web services, mobile applications, bots, and standalone platforms. The company additionally introduced features such as Deep Research and intelligent push notification systems, positioning AI tools as more proactive decision-support systems rather than passive trading utilities.
Brand expansion remained another major focus throughout April. As part of its 13th anniversary celebrations, Gate organized several large-scale events in Hong Kong, including the “Racing the Future” Victoria Harbour crossover exhibition, the 13th Anniversary Blue Carpet Ceremony, and the GATE GALA anniversary dinner. According to the company, the Victoria Harbour exhibition attracted more than 10,000 visitors on its opening day, while the gala event brought together more than 300 institutional representatives and industry participants to discuss developments related to AI, real-world assets, and multi-asset ecosystems.
In multiple public appearances and speeches, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han outlined his perspective on the future direction of the digital asset sector. In an anniversary open letter, he stated that the cryptocurrency industry is moving from “narrative-driven growth toward infrastructure-driven growth,” adding that future competition will likely focus on system capabilities instead of individual products. During the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, he also presented the “Move Everything On-Chain” concept, arguing that the key distinction in future finance may increasingly shift from traditional finance versus crypto toward the divide between on-chain and off-chain assets. He further suggested that off-chain assets could eventually be viewed as less efficient, while real-world assets may become the primary connection point between conventional finance and blockchain ecosystems.
During a separate event held at The University of Hong Kong, Dr. Han described the crypto sector as an industry shaped by asymmetric resources and timing advantages, emphasizing the importance of establishing early positioning during uncertain market cycles. In media interviews, he additionally identified real-world assets, AI technologies, and multi-asset ecosystem integration as likely to emerge as the dominant themes shaping the industry over the next one to two years. He also stated that AI is increasingly evolving from a support function into an active component of trading decision-making processes.
Gate also continued expanding its global branding strategy during the reporting period. In April, the company became the sleeve sponsor of the Inter U23 team and continued strategic partnerships with international sports properties including Oracle Red Bull Racing. The exchange stated that collaborations with major sports organizations are intended to strengthen global market visibility and support a younger brand image. Through offline campaigns and cross-industry partnerships, Gate said it aims to further connect Web3 technologies with mainstream culture and consumer audiences.
Overall, the report described Gate’s strategy as increasingly centered on evolving from a crypto exchange into a broader digital financial ecosystem built around multi-asset infrastructure, AI technologies, and blockchain-based financial systems. The company stated that future development will continue focusing on the integration of on-chain capabilities, real-world assets, artificial intelligence, and traditional financial products to support more efficient global asset circulation and interconnected value networks.
