Gate is sending a strong competitive signal with its latest capital inflow data. According to DefiLlama, the exchange recorded over $290 million in net inflows over the past 30 days, placing it first among all global centralized exchanges — a metric tracked industry-wide as a real-time gauge of where users are moving custodied assets. The platform's 24-hour and 7-day inflow figures stand at $46.06 million and $132.28 million, respectively, keeping Gate among the top two CEXs alongside Binance across all measured timeframes.

Gate's holdings of World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) have surpassed $558 million, with its Soft Staking program continuing to offer an estimated 12% APR. The most closely watched event of the week, however, is set for August 11: the Moonshot AI (KIMI) Pre-IPO subscription window.

Moonshot AI Pre-IPO: Subscription Opens August 11

Gate's Pre-IPO Phase 3 centers on Moonshot AI, the company behind the Kimi AI assistant — one of China's most prominent large language model startups, which has competed domestically alongside peers such as Zhipu AI and MiniMax. The subscription window opens August 11 at 07:00 UTC and closes August 13. KIMI Asset Certificates — structured as Mirror Notes that track changes in Moonshot AI's enterprise value — are priced at $105–$115 per share, reflecting an implied $50 billion valuation. That places Moonshot AI in the same valuation tier as leading private AI companies globally. The offering is part of a broader push by crypto exchanges to give retail users exposure to high-profile private companies that remain inaccessible through traditional public markets.

Both USDT and GUSD are accepted for subscription. GUSD subscribers additionally earn a 3.8% flexible U.S. Treasury yield during the subscription period. Certificates are scheduled for full distribution and unlocking on August 17, with secondary market trading anticipated to begin approximately one month after distribution.

Launchpool: SNDKG Campaign and DAPPOS Debut

Gate Launchpool's SNDKG (SanDisk) campaign continues to attract liquidity. As of the latest data, the ETH pool holds 25,677 ETH (3.45% APR), the BTC pool contains 1,443 BTC (1.23% APR), and the GT pool has over 1.17 million GT (4.13% APR). The campaign runs through August 20.

In parallel, Gate has launched DAPPOS (DOS) spot trading and opened Launchpool Project #370, running from August 10 to August 24. Users can stake GUSD, USDT, or DOS to earn a share of 1,410,000 DOS in rewards, distributed hourly with 100% unlock. GUSD stakers receive the 3.8% Flexible Treasury Bond APR in addition to their staking returns.

Yield Products: GUSD, USDT, and USD1

Gate's GUSD Flexible product offers 3.8% APR with flexible deposit and withdrawal alongside 1:1 lossless redemption — a yield notably above prevailing short-term U.S. Treasury rates available to most retail users through conventional channels. When stacked with the SPCX GUSD Launchpool — currently yielding 4.41% APR with over 80 million GUSD deposited — the total annualized yield reaches 8.21%. The SPCX USDT pool holds nearly 92 million USDT at 5.59% APR.

Additional options include Simple Earn VIP Boost, offering 3.8% on 7-day and 4.0% on 30-day fixed USDT terms, as well as a USD1 High-Yield Holding Campaign providing up to 8% APY in WLFI rewards. Gate's USD1 holdings have crossed $558 million, and Soft Staking remains active at an estimated 12% APR with no lock-up — users simply hold USD1 in their asset account to participate.

gStocks: Technology and Quantum Computing

Tokenized equities in the technology and quantum computing sectors posted steady gains. Lam Research (LRCXG) rose 1.93% to $312.81, Quantinuum (QNTG) gained 1.17% to $59.02, and Lumentum (LITEG) advanced 0.94% to $913.30.

Korean Semiconductor Futures

Korea's semiconductor sector pulled back on August 10. SK Hynix edged down 0.21% to $1,002.56, and Samsung Electronics fell 0.64% to $162.15. Both companies are central suppliers of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in AI accelerator packages, a segment that has driven significant investor attention as AI infrastructure spending scales. Futures markets remained active despite the spot decline: Gate's SK Hynix futures open interest reached $131 million out of a total industry OI of $693 million, ranking second across all platforms. Gate's Samsung futures OI stood at $6.19 million, also ranking second industry-wide.

Crude Oil Futures

International oil prices continued their upward trajectory. WTI (CLUSDT) hit a session high of $79.11 and traded at $78.50 (+1.03%), while Brent (BZUSDT) reached $84.22 intraday before settling at $83.75 (+1.17%). Gate's CLUSDT futures open interest is approximately $13.09 million and BZUSDT at $5.60 million, with both ranking among the leading platforms by OI.
