Gate Launches Gate Perp DEX to Enhance Decentralized Trading

Gate Web3 has not rebranded to Gate DEX; instead, it launched Gate Perp DEX on September 29, 2025, part of its “All in Web3” strategy, supporting 447 markets and using LayerZero for multi-chain assets like BTC and ETH.

The launch of Gate Perp DEX reflects Gate’s commitment to expanding its Web3 ecosystem and enhancing decentralized financial services. The exchange quickly surpassed $1 billion in trading volume, indicating strong initial market engagement and widespread interest.

Gate Perp DEX, designed to support mainstream and long-tail assets across multiple blockchains, provides up to 125x leverage for BTC and ETH perpetuals. This offering coincided with an increased on-chain address count, reaching over 100 million by December 2025.

Immediate effects include increased trading activities and potential shifts in liquidity across the cryptocurrency market. Gate’s hybrid technological approach is noted for its innovative integration with existing DeFi protocols, such as Gate Fun, within the Gate Layer network.

The absence of specific funding or institutional endorsements for Gate Perp DEX highlights a focused release strategy on core community and developer engagement. Public beta incentives and a strategic rebate system align with enhancing user experience and adoption.

Anticipated outcomes involve further growth in decentralized trading activities and potential expansions across additional blockchain networks. Reviews in industry reports, such as Animoca Brands’ recognition, affirm the strategic importance of Gate’s initiatives in shaping Web3 future.
