Gate’s October Report Details Trading, Reserves and Gate Money Launch

Gate’s October report spans trading and financial services

Gate’s October 2026 transparency report presents a business extending beyond cryptocurrency trading. It combines figures on derivatives and spot markets with reserve disclosures, stock and ETF services, wealth products and the launch of Gate Money. The company frames these developments as parts of a broader financial-services strategy. The report therefore offers both operating metrics and a snapshot of how Gate is connecting trading, asset management and payments within its app.

Derivatives were the largest trading category highlighted: Gate reported $394 billion in October volume and said it ranked third among centralized exchanges. Its stated market share was 10.2%, up over the period described in the report. Spot trading volume reached $49.8 billion, with Gate saying it ranked among the top two platforms for market-share growth. These figures describe different measures, so the spot ranking should not be read as a claim that Gate had the second-largest spot volume.

The report also points to Gate’s position in tokenized gold perpetual futures. Citing Glassnode, it says Gate accounted for 42% of the global net increase in open interest for those contracts in 2026. Gate’s seven-day average gold exposure through open interest was reported at 1.7 tonnes, which the company says ranked first globally. The figures suggest a notable role in this specific market segment, but the report does not provide the underlying calculation or a breakdown of the contracts included.

Trading activity and tokenized gold exposure

Gate’s latest Proof of Reserves figures put total platform reserves at $8.688 billion, 5.7% higher than in the previous reporting period. Customer net assets were listed at $7.332 billion, producing an overall reserve ratio of 118.49%. The report also gives ratios of 121.60% for BTC and 123.78% for ETH, and says multiple major assets had excess reserves. These are the company’s reported figures; the supplied material does not include a detailed asset-by-asset table.

The reserve figures matter because they compare the value of reported reserves with customer net assets, rather than simply describing the platform’s total holdings. On Gate’s stated overall ratio, reserves exceeded customer net assets for the period covered. The report does not, however, explain in the supplied text the valuation methods, liabilities included, or timing used for each calculation. Readers therefore have the headline ratios, but not enough detail here to independently reproduce them or assess changes in individual assets.

Gate Money officially launched in October as an all-in-one financial-services application within the Gate App. The company says it brings together global accounts, fiat currencies, digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold and payment services. Eligible users in supported regions can open bank accounts in their own names, which Gate presents as a way to manage multiple asset types and make cross-border payments. The report does not identify every supported jurisdiction or set out the full eligibility conditions.

Reserve figures and the Gate Money launch

For international transfers, Gate Money currently supports SWIFT deposits and withdrawals in four fiat currencies: USD, EUR, GBP and AED. Gate also upgraded Gate Card’s automatic top-up feature, linking Spot accounts, Gate Money, Simple Earn and stock accounts. The feature supports automatic transfers across 14 assets, according to the report. This connects holdings and account services with spending, but the text does not specify fees, transfer times, card coverage or which assets are available to each user.

Gate’s traditional-finance services now cover stock trading in the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, according to the report. The platform says it supports more than 12,800 stocks and ETFs across those markets. Cumulative trading volume on gStocks surpassed $8.4 billion, while volume over the latest 30 days exceeded $2.2 billion. The report does not provide a market-by-market split or clarify how the cumulative period is defined, limiting comparisons across regions.

Gate also reported nearly 20 billion USDT of trading volume on Gate ETF in October, with the number of trading pairs rising to 430. These figures indicate a broadening of the instruments available through the platform, alongside its stock and ETF services. They do not, on their own, show how much activity came from individual products or users. The report gives no further breakdown of the ETF volume, so its relationship to overall trading activity and the distribution across pairs remains unclear.

Broader products, growth claims and open questions

Activity in wealth and newer products was another focus. Gate said cumulative monthly staking on Launchpool exceeded $575 million and assets held in Idle Earn surpassed $340 million. Cumulative Event Markets trading volume was above $900 million, and Gate described itself as the second-largest integration channel for Polymarket. These numbers cover distinct services and measures; the report does not provide definitions, user totals or period-by-period comparisons that would show how the products contributed to the wider business.

The report also describes growth in Gate’s Web3 activity and AI-related trading tools. Monthly trading volume on Perp DEX rose by more than 45% month over month, while transactions on GateSwap increased by over 46%. Separately, the average daily value of assets managed by AI-generated trading-bot strategies increased 80.57% month over month. The report does not state the starting levels behind these growth rates, so the percentages show direction and pace but not the absolute scale of each activity.

Taken together, the report portrays Gate as linking exchange trading to reserves, investing, wealth services and payments, with Gate Money as the clearest new component. Its reach will depend in practice on eligibility, supported locations and the terms of individual products, details not fully provided in the supplied account. The report also offers headline activity and reserve metrics without all underlying methodologies. Those omissions leave important questions about comparability and availability, even as the company sets out its broader integration strategy.
