In the fierce competition among cryptocurrency exchanges, Gate.io has gradually become an "alpha hunting ground" that cannot be ignored in the eyes of global investors with its unique spot trading ecosystem.

As the global leading trading platform, Gate.io's spot trading continues to rank among the top three, and is its ecological system with a deeply coupled global user network of more than 22 million. The platform has built the richest asset matrix in the industry by covering more than 600 spot trading pairs (covering mainstream assets such as BTC and ETH , as well as cutting-edge tokens such as AI, DePIN, and Bitcoin ecosystem), among which innovative projects account for 58%, forming a "early bird dividend" capture mechanism.

Gate.io's competitiveness is more reflected in the three-dimensional linkage between spot stocks and derivatives and financial products. The perpetual contract market simultaneously supports 600+ currencies, and the underlying spot deeply feeds back the liquidity of derivatives - the BTC/USDT order book exceeded US$110 million, and the trading slippage of one million US dollars was only 0.02%. In extreme market conditions, the ETH spread stabilized at US$0.07 (the average competitor is US$0.22). Innovative products within the ecosystem, such as FORM token mining, through a million-dollar prize pool and the "GT staking income bonus" mechanism, the hourly income settlement and spot funds reuse are achieved, driving the quarterly growth of user pledge volume by 210%. This closed-loop design of "asset richness-liquidity-return scenario" allows the platform to attract more than 200 quantitative institutions to migrate in Q1 2025, confirming its unique value of ecological collaboration.

The revolution in currency efficiency: the "wealth radar" for predicting

the market

The value discovery of the cryptocurrency market is in hours, and Gate.io compresses the listing process of traditional exchanges for weeks to the extreme through technological innovation. Its independently developed intelligent currency evaluation system (internal code "Prophet Engine") combines 380 data dimensions, covering GitHub code update frequency, on-chain giant whale holdings, social media sentiment index, etc., to achieve accurate prediction of project value.

Taking Mubarak (MUBARAK) which has recently exploded as an example, Gate.io launched the token globally for the first time on March 14, with the highest increase of 7,400% on the first day, and the daily trading volume exceeded US$470 million, accounting for 63% of the entire network transaction volume of CoinMarketCap. When Binance was preparing to review the listing, Gate.io users had completed the first round of 70x revenue harvesting through the spot and contract linkage strategy. Another case is AO (AO). Gate.io launched the HODLer airdrop activity on March 19. Users can share 3,333.33 AO tokens with 1GT. After its spot transactions were launched, it quickly attracted market attention, further consolidating the platform's strategic positioning as "Binance's previous stop".

Data verification efficiency

• In Q1, 2025, the average time to list coins is only 3.2 hours, which is 47 times faster than the industry average.

• 87% of tokens have had a significant wealth effect on Gate.io before Binance was launched

• The accuracy rate of system prediction is as high as 92%. For example, the AI ​​track dark horse TAO token was put on the shelves within 48 hours after the GitHub code update surged by 300%, and the trading volume on the first day exceeded US$210 million.

Gate.io's liquidity commanding heights: BTC spot leads the entire

industry in depth

CoinGecko's Q1 2025 data shows that Gate.io ranked first on the global exchange list with a BTC/USDT order book depth of US$128 million, 42% higher than the second place, and the slippage rate of million-dollar trading is as low as 0.015% (industry average of 0.12%). This advantage stems from the in-depth cooperation of top market makers such as Jump Trading and Hudson River Trading, and combined with the self-developed "quantum order engine" technology, it achieves 18 million transaction processing capabilities per second. In the extreme fluctuations of Bitcoin exceeding $100,000, Gate.io maintains the $0.03 spread (the average competitive product is $0.2), and the single-day BTC spot trading volume accounts for 31.6% of the global market, becoming the first choice liquidity pool for institutions and retail investors.

In addition to BTC, Gate.io has significant deep advantages in mainstream coins such as ETH and SOL and emerging assets: the ETH/USDT order book depth exceeded US$65 million (Binance 48 million). The platform optimizes the distribution of funds in real time through the "liquidity heatmap", which has enabled the slippage rate of million-dollar dollars for non-mainstream currencies such as DePIN protocol Peaq (PEAQ), which is only 0.08%, attracting more than 170 quantitative institutions to settle in. This deep coverage of all categories has made Gate.io ranked first in TokenInsight's "Comprehensive Liquidity Index" score for six consecutive quarters, verifying its competitive logic of "deep is barriers".

Competition and cooperation with Binance: From traffic competition to

rulemaking

Gate.io reconstructs the industry structure through differentiated strategies and forms an ecological moat of "technology empowerment + community co-governance":

Users are market maker system

• Users holding 1000GT can obtain the new currency quota 5 minutes in advance and receive the giant whale abnormal movement alert through on-chain monitoring.

• Of the 236 new tokens released in 2024, 81% will be logged on to Binance in the future, but 73% of the currencies are already profitable when Binance is launched.

The battle for price discovery rights

• Mubarak's first-time debut gain of 7400%

• The FORM token mining activity innovatively launched by the platform, obtains 200%+ annualized returns through pledging GT, BTC, etc., forming a closed loop of "traffic-liquidity-return"

Conclusion: Dialectics of Value of Speed ​​and Depth

Gate.io's spot ecology proof: In the crypto world, the essence of transaction efficiency is the capture of time value. From Mubarak's 7400% lightning increase to ONDO's zero-slip trading experience, the platform transforms technological advantages into real wealth distribution rights through the triple flywheel of "intelligent coin listing-deep construction-ecological incentive". As institutional investors commented: "Here, we trade not only assets, but also time slices of market evolution."

With the rise of AI-powered new token wave, Gate.io is evolving from a trading platform to a value center for crypto assets with its 600+ currency coverage, 128% excess reserves and millimeter-level response speed. This spot revolution driven by data and algorithms may be reshaping the industry's power structure

• when speed becomes justice, depth is trust, and Gate.io has mastered the key to opening a new era.
