Gate reports $394 billion October derivatives volume

Gate reported $394 billion in derivatives trading volume in October 2026, giving the centralized exchange a 10.2% share of global centralized-exchange derivatives trading and a third-place ranking among centralized exchanges.

The figure, disclosed in Gate’s October Transparency Report, came with $49.8 billion in spot volume and a top-two global ranking for spot market-share growth, a measure of share gains rather than Gate’s overall spot share.

How did Gate extend its trading footprint?

Gate cited Glassnode data showing that the exchange accounted for 42% of the worldwide net rise in open interest for tokenized gold perpetual futures during 2026. Its seven-day average gold exposure stood at 1.7 tonnes based on open interest, ranking Gate first worldwide.

On-chain activity also expanded. Monthly volume on Perp DEX rose more than 45% month over month, while the number of GateSwap transactions increased by more than 46%, according to Gate’s report.

Event Markets passed $900 million in cumulative trading volume and ranked second among Polymarket’s integration channels. The average daily value of assets managed through AI-generated trading-bot strategies increased 80.57% from the previous month.

What did the reserve data show?

Gate’s Proof of Reserves data showed total reserves of $8.688 billion, up 5.7% from the prior reporting period, against customer net assets of $7.332 billion. That produced an overall reserve ratio of 118.49%, meaning reported reserves exceeded customer net assets.

The reported reserve ratios for BTC and ETH were 121.60% and 123.78%, respectively. Gate said multiple major assets held reserves above customer balances.

How does Gate Money change the platform?

Gate launched Gate Money in October 2026, integrating global accounts, fiat currencies, digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold and payment services into a single Gate App experience. The launch extends Gate’s operating model beyond digital-asset trading into integrated multi-asset management and everyday financial services.

Cross-border deposits and withdrawals are supported through SWIFT in USD, EUR, GBP and AED. During October, Gate Card’s automatic top-up feature expanded to link Spot accounts, Gate Money, Simple Earn and stock accounts, with automatic transfers supported across 14 assets.

Gate’s stock-trading service covers the US, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, offering more than 12,800 stocks and ETFs. Cumulative gStocks trading volume exceeded $8.4 billion, including more than $2.2 billion during the report’s trailing 30-day period.

Gate ETF recorded nearly 20 billion USDT in October trading volume, and its trading-pair count increased to 430. In wealth management, cumulative monthly staking through Gate Launchpool exceeded $575 million, while assets in Idle Earn surpassed $340 million.

Together, these products shift Gate’s customer interface from a crypto trading venue toward a multi-asset financial-services app. The operational test is whether the platform can support payment, card and securities workflows while maintaining the reserve coverage reported for October.

At TOKEN2049 Singapore in October, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han unveiled Gate Money in a main-stage keynote and described its integrated financial-services vision as “One Gate, Everything Money.” The company also held the Gate Gala 2026 Awards Dinner at the Raffles Hotel Singapore, where close to 300 partners and industry figures gathered.

The exchange also collaborated with the Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 team during the Singapore Grand Prix, offering driver meet-and-greets, exclusive sessions with team executives and VIP hospitality events. The arrangement gave the launch a motorsport-based promotional platform and a venue for partner activity.

The next transparency report will show whether Gate can sustain October’s trading gains while extending payments, stocks, ETFs and wealth products, making execution across those rails more consequential than volume growth alone.
