#GateJanTransparencyReport

Key Highlights from the January 2026 Report
Total Reserves: $9.478 billion — comfortably above user liabilities
Overall Reserve Coverage Ratio: 125% (up from 124% previously) → industry-leading over-collateralization
BTC Reserve Ratio: 140.69% (massive buffer for the king coin)
Major Assets: ETH, USDT, GT, and others all >100% reserved — no weak links
Proof-of-Reserves: Verified using zero-knowledge proofs, Merkle trees, and third-party audits — users can independently verify their own assets anytime
This isn’t just “we’re safe” marketing — it’s verifiable over-reserve strength that puts Gate among the top-tier exchanges for asset protection, especially when trust is everything in bearish or choppy markets.
Growth & Innovation Momentum
Gate isn’t just defending — it’s expanding:
Derivatives Market Share: Climbed to 11% — one of the fastest-growing CEXs globally in futures/perps
Perpetual Contracts Volume: Staying strong after explosive growth through 2025 (peaking at trillions quarterly)
Gate TradFi: Cumulative trading volume surpassed $20 billion since launch — covering forex, indices, commodities, metals, select stocks → real bridge between crypto and traditional finance
On-Chain Evolution: Gate Web3 upgraded to Gate DEX with smoother one-click access and better on-chain derivatives support
GateAI Launch: New AI-powered tool for asset analysis, market insights, and smarter trading decisions
Why This Matters Right Now
In February 2026 — with sentiment at Extreme Fear, low volume, and many users sitting on the sidelines — transparency isn’t optional… it’s alpha.
When exchanges hide, delay, or under-reserve, users pay the price. Gate is doing the opposite:
Publishing regular, detailed reports
Maintaining excess reserves even in tough markets
Actively building multi-asset infrastructure (crypto + TradFi + on-chain)
That builds long-term confidence, attracts serious capital, and positions Gate as a safer harbor when volatility spikes.
Bottom Line
Gate isn’t waiting for the bull run to prove itself — it’s proving it now, in real time, with hard numbers and real innovation.
Transparency + over-reserves + multi-track growth = a platform users can actually rely on, no matter the market mood.
If you're trading, holding, or bridging into TradFi in 2026 — Gate just made a very strong case for being your go-to exchange.
