Gate closed the week with notable metrics across multiple areas. According to DefiLlama, the exchange ranked first globally in net inflows across three consecutive time windows: $543 million over 24 hours, $615 million over the past seven days, and $591 million over the past month. Net inflow rankings are widely tracked in the exchange industry as a real-time indicator of where user capital is moving, making consistent top placements across multiple windows a signal of shifting competitive positioning.

On the transparency front, Gate's latest Proof of Reserves report, published as of July 27, confirms an overall reserve ratio of 117%, exceeding the 100% industry benchmark. BTC reserves stood at 26,775 BTC against 21,557 BTC in user holdings, while stablecoin reserves across USDT, USDC, USD1, and GUSD totaled 1.59 billion units against 1.336 billion held by users. ETH reserves carry a 22.02% excess ratio, and GT and XRP reserves also remain well above the 100% threshold. Routine Proof of Reserves disclosures became a broadly adopted practice among major exchanges after the collapse of FTX in November 2022 exposed significant gaps between reported and actual customer balances.

In July, Gate's token launch ecosystem delivered notable results. The Launchpool SLX campaign reached a peak APR of 135.54% across approximately $490 million in total staking volume, while CandyDrop ran four additional projects concurrently.

GUSD Crosses $224M in Cumulative Subscriptions

Gate's yield-bearing stablecoin GUSD has surpassed $224 million in cumulative subscription volume. The core product — a flexible U.S. Treasury earn option — provides a 3.8% annualized yield with daily distributions, no redemption fees, and 1:1 lossless withdrawal. When paired with active Launchpool staking pools, combined annualized returns can reach up to 8.86%. The SPCX and ANTFUN GUSD pools carry APRs of 4.85% and 5.06%, respectively.

New subscribers can also access a limited-time 100% annualized yield offer. A Deposit & Trading Carnival running through August 11 offers additional rewards, with per-user payouts capped at 8,938 USDT.

gStocks: MiniMax Leads Weekly Gains

Gate's tokenized stock section recorded significant price movements this week. AI company MiniMax (MINIMAXG/USDT) posted the largest 24-hour gain in the spot gStocks market, rising 10.56% to $31.91. Cerebras (CBRSG/USDT) climbed 2.88% to $201.39, and Arm Holdings (ARMG/USDT) gained 2.33% to reach $244.12.

The gStocks platform operates on a 1:1 fully backed native stock reserve model, supports 24/7 trading, and permits entry from 1 USDT with fractional share support. The expansion of tokenized equity products reflects a broader industry trend of bringing traditional financial instruments onto crypto exchange infrastructure, a segment often categorized under real-world asset tokenization.

Gate Polymarket Ranks Second Globally by Notional Volume

Gate Polymarket secured the second position globally by notional trading volume, with the LCK 2026 esports prediction season generating substantial user engagement. In the League of Legends championship market, Hanwha Life Esports holds approximately 33% prediction support, while Gen.G and T1 are tied at roughly 20% each.

Gate's Esports Trading Season runs through August 10 with a 200,000 USDT prize pool covering newcomer rewards, weekly tasks, and a prediction leaderboard. As the first centralized exchange to integrate Polymarket, Gate offers access through the Alpha section of its app, including a Smart Money feature for tracking high-performing traders. Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform built on Polygon, gained wider public attention during the 2024 U.S. election cycle, and the integration with a centralized exchange represents an effort to bring on-chain prediction markets to a broader user base.

Third-Party Data Corroborates Gate's Rankings
