Gate has integrated support for USDG, the US dollar-pegged stablecoin, making it accessible to its 34 million users. Gate’s entry into Global Dollar Network alliance represents more than just the adoption of a single stablecoin; it signals a broader strategic commitment to exploring new frontiers in PayFi.

USDG is now available to Gate’s global user base across Ethereum, Solana, and Ink blockchains.

By integrating USDG, Gate advances its mission to promote financial inclusivity by bridging centralized and decentralized infrastructure. This move also supports Gate’s broader strategy to enable seamless cross-border payments, building the infrastructure for a resilient, global PayFi economy.

“This partnership reflects Gate’s ongoing commitment to regulatory-compliant innovation and digital asset infrastructure,” said Dr. Han, the founder and CEO of Gate. “USDG will play a pivotal role in powering next-generation global payments, trading, and PayFi access. We’re excited to deepen our USDG integration across the Gate ecosystem in the coming months.”

Gate and World Liberty Financial Reach Strategic Milestone: Gate Becomes Second-Largest Holder of USD1 Among Centralized Exchanges

Gate and World Liberty Financial Reach Strategic Milestone: Gate Becomes Second-Largest Holder of USD1 Among Centralized Exchanges

Gate, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the developer of a pioneering DeFi protocol and governance platform inspired by President Donald J. Trump, jointly announced a major milestone in the growing adoption of USD1, a USD-backed stablecoin issued by WLFI. According to on-chain data as of today, Gate has officially become the second-largest holder of USD1 among all centralized exchanges, trailing only Binance.

The surge in USD1 holdings on Gate was driven by the launch of Ika (IKA) on Gate Launchpad on July 26. The Launchpad campaign supports subscriptions in USD1 and Gate Token (GT), attracting substantial user participation and stablecoin inflow.

According to on-chain data, most USD1 liquidity is currently concentrated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), with smaller but notable reserves on Ethereum (ETH). Gate currently holds approximately $170 million USD1 on BSC, ranking second among CEXs with an additional $20 million USD1 on Ethereum, ranking first among CEXs on that chain. This correlates closely with the total USD1 allocation of 196 million tokens contributed to the IKA Launchpad event to date.

In total, Gate Launchpad with $IKA has seen user contributions surpass 200 million USD1 and 5.33 million GT, worth approximately $97.5 million, marking one of the largest Launchpad commitments in Gate’s recent history.

USD1 is a USD-backed stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, designed to provide transparent, regulated, and scalable digital dollar access across multiple blockchains. It is backed 1:1 by short-term US government treasuries, US dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents, with real-time audits and multi-chain deployment on BSC, Ethereum, and beyond.

This collaboration signals both parties’ commitment to building an open and compliant PayFi ecosystem—bridging traditional financial assets with next-generation decentralized infrastructure.

MultiBank Group readies to launch its MBG Token: Real-world assets meet deep liquidity and proven legacy

July 7, 2025 – Following the announcement of its utility token MBG, MultiBank Group has released additional details on the broader ecosystem in which the token will operate. MBG is designed as a transactional, incentive, retention and inter-business settlement layer for its four-pillar ecosystem combining traditional finance infrastructure, real-world asset tokenization, and digital asset trading.

MultiBank Group holds 17 reputable regulatory licenses across five jurisdictions with an unblemished track record. Today, the Group reports $35 billion in daily trading volume on average. The launch of MBG marks its entry into the Web3 space, supported by a structured ecosystem and real-world business operations. MBG is gaining traction and welcoming Waitlist sign-ups ahead of its July 2025 launch.

Overview of MBG’s ecosystem

MBG will be used across the Group’s four-pillar ecosystem for transaction fees, staking, rewards, and internal settlements. The MBG ecosystem consists of four key components, each leveraging the token for internal utility:

  • MultiBank TradFi: The Group’s existing brokerage and trading platform, offering access to traditional financial markets, predominantly for FX and CFDs.
  • MultiBank.io: A digital asset platform offering spot trading, derivatives, and future DeFi integrations.
  • MultiBank.io RWA: A tokenization system for real estate assets, starting with a $3 billion agreement involving Dubai-based MAG Lifestyle Development, that offered its Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside at Keturah Resort, and Keturah Reserve for the launch in 2025.
  • MEX Exchange: An upcoming institutional-focused crypto Electronic Communication Network (ECN), designed for large-scale liquidity aggregation. Scheduled to launch in 2025.

MBG’s growing community

MBG is a thriving community supported by MultiBank Group’s 2 million+ customers across the ecosystem, with 35% identified as existing crypto enthusiasts. The community is actively engaged across MBG’s social channels:

A project backed by deep liquidity and built on trust

Unlike many tokens that launched, MBG is issued by a profitable financial group with no debts, regulated operations and audited financials. Key stats include:

  • In 2024, the Group reported a net income of US$275.4 million, a balance sheet of US$607 million, and a valuation that stands at US$29 billion
  • MultiBank Group holds 17 regulatory licences with an unblemished record
  • MultiBank Group serves over 2 million customers across 100 countries, with 35% identified as crypto users

MEX Exchange, MultiBank Group’s institutional ECN bridging TradFi and crypto, will be the first institutional platform for inter-bank trading in emerging markets, providing deep liquidity and setting a precedent for crypto adoption among institutions. It is projected to handle over $460 billion in daily volume within five years and designed to provide prime brokerage and instant client settlement. Today MEX Exchange is valued at US$23 billion.

Join the MBG waitlist.

Bridging сrypto and the real world

The MBG token is built around a high-value real estate tokenization initiative, beginning with a $3 billion agreement in Dubai. The developments include The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside at Keturah Resort, and Keturah Reserve that will be offered to customers on day 1 of launch. A $10 billion pipeline to tokenize real estate is underway, positioning the ecosystem as one of the most ambitious RWA platforms to date.

Investors can enter these premium tokenised real estate assets with as little as $50 and earn up to 8% APY, paid out daily. Around the clock, tokenholders can access fractionalized real estate through a secured marketplace, merging tangible assets with digital liquidity.

The MBG token is central to how the platform functions – powering yield payouts, staking, discounted trading fees, and broader ecosystem access.

Deflationary buyback and burn program

MultiBank Group has implemented a token burn model to manage the circulating supply that links circulation directly to platform activity. Rather than follow a fixed schedule, the burn rate adjusts in line with actual usage, grounding the model in adoption rather than speculation. The program aims to remove as much as 50% of the total token supply over time. The structure is designed to reinforce value and maintain a healthy token economy tied to real participation. Key features:

  • Cumulative burn of up to $440 million over the next four years, and a goal to burn up to 50% of the total supply
  • Burn schedule is based on ecosystem usage, with no fixed timeline for maximum reduction
  • The burn program aims to remove as much as 50% of the total token supply over time

The road ahead

The Group has outlined a phased rollout for its crypto infrastructure:

  • 2025: MultiBank.io Derivatives Exchange Launch – expanded to include Silver and Gold contracts with leverage; MultiBank.io Swap/Convert Product Launch; MBIO Mission Center Launch; Spot Trading APIs Launch; MultiBank Chain (Private Testnet); OTC Desk Launch; MBIO RWA Launch; MBG TGE Campaign, CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, other major data aggregators, and DEXs Listing; Referral Program; Launch of the MBG Ecosystem Utility Token
  • 2026: Derivatives Trading APIs Launch; OTC Retail Portal Launch; Spot FX and Metals Trading, Margin and Credit Trading, Social Trading; Learn to Earn Academy; ECN TradFi; Advanced AI
  • 2027: OTC Institutional Portal Launch, Multibank.io Escrow/CLS Service Launch; MBIO Pay (Caas-PSP); Multibank.io Derivatives Social Trading; Multibank.io Pay Launch
  • 2028: MultiBank Group Stablecoin (MUSD) Launch; Introduction of the first Web3 Trading Platform for institutional markets; Launch of the Multibank Smart Chain
  • 2030: Projected ecosystem trading volume exceeding $540 billion per day

For more details, refer to the MultiBank Group White Paper and Pitch Deck.

Summary

With MBG, MultiBank Group is building a multi-layered financial ecosystem for both retail and institutional customers, grounded in regulated operations, asset-backed products, and digital infrastructure. The token is designed to serve a specific function across platforms rather than functioning as a speculative vehicle.

Join the MBG waitlist — backed by a financial giant bringing TradFi to crypto.

Landlord Launches First Fully On-Chain Competitive Season

Landlord Launches First Fully On-Chain Competitive Season

7 July 2025 – Landlord, the first fully on-chain business strategy game built on opBNB, is proud to announce the official launch of Season One, marking a major milestone in the evolution of on-chain gaming.

Inspired by the classic Monopoly-style gameplay and supercharged with blockchain technology, Landlord redefines what it means to play, earn, and own in the Web3 era. With every move, trade, and transaction executed directly on-chain, players experience unprecedented transparency, security, and true digital ownership — no servers, no compromises.

What’s New in Season One:

  • Competitive Leaderboards: Players will compete in a dynamic, season-based environment. Rankings are transparent, on-chain, and updated in real time.

  • New Assets: Unlock powerful cards, functional avatars, and themed lands to boost your in-game advantage.

  • Player-to-Player Economy: Trade land, rent space, and build your empire in an open and decentralized market.

  • Seasonal Structure for Sustainability: A continuous season system ensures long-term value for both casual and competitive players, while enabling fresh economic cycles.

 Why We Chose to Build Landlord as a Fully On-Chain Game

From the beginning, our mission was clear: to build a game that is fair, transparent, unstoppable — and truly belongs to its players. The only way to realize that vision was to go fully on-chain.

Unlike traditional Web2 games or even hybrid Web3 games (where only assets like NFTs or currencies are stored on-chain), a fully on-chain game puts the entire gameplay logic — movement, dice rolls, rent calculations, trades, economic rules — directly onto the blockchain.

Why this matters:

  • Transparency & Fairness: Players can verify every rule and action, eliminating hidden algorithms or manipulation.

  • Trustless by Design: There’s no central authority controlling game outcomes — only code and consensus.

  • True Digital Ownership: Lands, avatars, and cards are not just assets — they are on-chain entities under full player control.

  • Composable and Permissionless: Third-party developers can build on top of Landlord’s open logic, expanding the ecosystem naturally.

  • Immutable and Autonomous: Once deployed, the game cannot be changed or shut down by a central server.

For a competitive strategy game where fairness and value matter, this was the only path forward. Landlord isn’t just a game you play — it’s a system you participate in, a world you help shape.

 

“Landlord Season One represents a major step forward for fully on-chain games,” said the Landlord team. “We’re proving that on-chain doesn’t have to mean boring — it can be fun, strategic, fast, and rewarding. This season, players aren’t just playing a game — they’re shaping an economy.”

Whether you’re a GameFi veteran, a Web3 explorer, or a board game nostalgic, Landlord offers a new way to play and earn — with full ownership, full transparency, and zero limits.

Game is live now on opBNB:

On the compliance front, Gate continues to strengthen its global regulatory framework. Its entity Gate Technology FZE has officially obtained a VASP license under the supervision of the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), reinforcing the platform’s regulatory foundation in the Middle East and broader international markets.

Building User Trust: A Relentless Commitment to Security and Transparency

Gate remains an industry leader in asset security and reserve transparency. As of June 2025, Gate holds a total reserve value of $10.453 billion, with a reserve ratio of 123.09%.

Gate’s Nearly 70% MoM Growth in Derivatives Volume Tops Global Charts, Featured in CoinDesk’s Latest Report

June 23, Panama – Gate has once again demonstrated its strong momentum and competitive edge in the crypto trading landscape, as highlighted in CoinDesk’s latest 2025 Exchange Review. The report, recognized as one of the most authoritative and data-driven assessments in the industry, named Gate as the best-performing derivatives exchange by month-on-month growth.

According to CoinDesk Data, Gate’s derivatives trading volume surged by 69.9% in May, reaching $264 billion, the highest growth rate among all tracked platforms. This exceptional performance led to a 1.20% increase in market share, bringing Gate’s total derivatives market share to 4.13%, surpassing several long-established competitors. This milestone reinforces Gate’s position as a rising leader in the derivatives space, driven by its advanced trading infrastructure, deep liquidity, and commitment to providing a seamless user experience for both retail and institutional users.

CoinDesk also noted that Gate was among the few exchanges that significantly climbed in the latest Exchange Benchmark rankings, alongside Binance and Kraken. Gate now ranks among the top three exchanges in the Derivatives Benchmark, scoring 82.6. Gate’s continued growth reflects its long-term strategy of innovation, product diversification, and global expansion. As one of the few exchanges to consistently grow both trading volume and market share, Gate is proving its ability to thrive in a competitive, evolving market environment.

In addition to its trading performance, CoinDesk also recognized Gate as one of the top four global exchanges by total reserves. As of June 2025, Gate’s reserves reached $10.453 billion, covering more than 350 different user assets. The overall reserve ratio stood at 123.09%, with an excess reserve of $1.96 billion. Gate has long been a pioneer in reserve transparency and remains the first exchange to commit to 100% reserve holdings. Notably, its BTC reserve ratio reached 138.7%, while ETH and USDT reserves stood at 113.06% and 112.95% respectively. Other key assets such as GT, DOGE, and XRP also far exceeded the 100% benchmark, reinforcing Gate’s reputation for financial soundness and user protection. From being one of the first to commit to 100% reserves to introducing zero-knowledge proofs, Gate has consistently driven innovation at the intersection of technology and security.

According to the CoinDesk report, Gate’s industry influence has also expanded through its high-profile partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Beginning with the 2025 Formula 1 season, the Gate brand is featured prominently on the team’s car, race suits, and the helmet of four-time World Champion Max Verstappen. The partnership represents a bold cross-industry collaboration that blends the speed and precision of Formula 1 with the innovation and momentum of Web3. To commemorate this alliance, Gate launched a co-branded digital collectibles campaign, “IN THE MOMENT”, celebrating historic highlights from all 24 race weekends with immersive, on-chain experiences. This marks a flagship entry into sports-themed digital assets and further exemplifies Gate’s commitment to bridging Web2 and Web3 culture.

May was also a landmark month in Gate’s brand evolution. The exchange officially launched its new global domain, Gate.com, and unveiled a redesigned brand logo, marking a significant milestone in its journey to become the next-generation crypto exchange. This strategic rebranding initiative, introduced shortly after Gate’s 12th anniversary celebrations, reflects the platform’s renewed vision: to move beyond technical excellence and into global innovation leadership. As part of this transition, Gate also introduced its new Chinese name, “大门” (Damen), symbolizing a welcoming gateway to the future of crypto for users worldwide. The new domain and visual identity aim to unify Gate’s global brand presence and further enhance user trust across all markets.

Gate’s strong performance across multiple metrics in the report, combined with sustained growth in trading volume, industry-leading reserve transparency, a revitalized global brand identity, and an expanding global presence, solidifies its position as one of the most trusted and forward-looking players in the crypto industry. CoinDesk’s latest recognition underscores Gate’s remarkable achievements and reinforces its commitment to shaping the future of digital finance as a true industry leader.

Gate Releases May 2025 Transparency Report: Brand Revamp Ignites Strategic Acceleration

June 20, Panama – Gate, a global leader in cryptocurrency trading, has released its May 2025 Transparency Report, revealing remarkable growth across key business indicators. Amid improving market sentiment and a maturing regulatory landscape, the platform recorded historic highs in trading volume and user activity, accelerated brand globalization efforts, advanced compliance achievements, and further expanded its Web3 ecosystem.

Trading Volume and User Base Hit New Milestones

In May 2025, Gate saw a substantial year-over-year increase in total trading volume, driven by strong performance in both spot and futures markets.

Global Brand Revamp: New Domain Gate.com and New Logo Launched

On May 19, Gate officially launched its new domain, Gate.com, alongside a redesigned logo, marking a bold step forward in its global rebranding strategy. This upgrade unifies visual identity across global operations and enhances international recognition and user trust.

The rebranding covers all Gate entities globally, including licensed operations in Japan, Dubai, and Europe, delivering a consistent and professional brand presence worldwide.

Product Ecosystem Expansion Drives Growth in User Engagement and Assets

In May, Gate’s continuous product innovation led to a significant boost in its platform ecosystem. The relaunch of Launchpad sparked market excitement, with the debut project Puffverse (PFVS) oversubscribed by more than 93,800%, attracting 35,000 participants and raising $656 million. Gate Alpha, focusing on meme asset trading, launched hundreds of projects in May, distributed over $1 million in airdrops, and generated billions in trading volume. Launchpool introduced nearly 20 new projects, distributed over $3 million in rewards, and peaked at over 1,000% annualized returns.

CandyDrop launched nearly 20 airdrop campaigns, drawing over 500,000 participants with a prize pool close to 3 million USDT. The synchronized growth of these core product lines demonstrates Gate’s leading edge in product innovation and user attraction.

Accelerating Asset Transparency and Compliance Leadership, Reserve Ratio Reaches 128.57%

As of May 2025, Gate’s total reserve assets reached $10.865 billion, with an impressive reserve ratio of 128.57%, far exceeding the 100% industry benchmark. BTC, ETH, and USDT reserves all maintained surplus coverage, with BTC reserve ratio at 137.69%. These figures reflect Gate’s long-standing commitment to transparency and financial strength.

On the compliance front, Gate Technology FZE, a part of Gate, has obtained a VASP License under the regulation and supervision of VARA in Dubai to provide exchange services and is permitted to serve institutional investors, qualified investors, and retail investors. This milestone marks another significant step forward in Gate’s global compliance strategy.

Expanding Web3 Culture with Brand Campaigns and Global Events

Gate Introduces Brand New Domain Gate.com and Brand Logo, Advancing Toward the “Next-Generation Crypto Exchange”

May 19th, Panama – Gate, a global leading cryptocurrency trading platform, has officially adopted the new international domain Gate.com and unveiled a redesigned brand logo, marking a significant milestone in the platform’s evolution. This strategic move aims to unify brand identity, strengthen global presence, and enhance user trust, heralding a new chapter in Gate’s development. The upgrade follows Gate’s 12th anniversary celebrations and aligns closely with the platform’s newly articulated vision, unveiled at its global event in Dubai, to become the “next-generation crypto exchange”. It signifies a transformative leap from industry leadership to innovation leadership, and from technical excellence to global strategic expansion.

Previously, Gate also adopted a new Chinese name “Damen” ( 大门, meaning “The Gate”), symbolizing an open gateway to the future of crypto for users worldwide. The unified refresh of domain and logo reflects the platform’s commitment to inclusivity and signals the beginning of a new chapter in building a trusted, globally connected crypto ecosystem.

Brand Refresh: From Visual Upgrade to Strategic Evolution

As a pioneer in the crypto industry, Gate has focused on building a secure, compliant, and innovative digital asset trading ecosystem since its founding in 2013. Today, the platform serves over 23 million users worldwide, supports trading in over 3,800 cryptocurrencies across spot, futures, leverage, and financial products, ranking Top 3 globally by comprehensive strength. It was also among the first exchanges to implement zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to verify reserve transparency, ensuring 100% verifiability of platform assets. According to its latest proof-of-reserves report, Gate’s total reserves exceed $10.865 billion, with a reserve ratio of 128.57%.

This brand overhaul not only elevates Gate’s visual identity but also marks a critical step in its global outreach strategy. The new domain Gate.com is concise, highly recognizable, and globally intuitive, enhancing user perception of the platform’s professionalism and credibility. The newly designed logo adopts a modern, minimalist aesthetic that encapsulates Gate’s core principles of “trust as the foundation”, “technological innovation”, and “continuous evolution”, representing a comprehensive upgrade in technology, ecosystem, and compliance.

In addition, Gate Group’s global platform Gate, along with all its locally licensed entities, Gate Japan, Gate Dubai, and Gate Europe, will adopt the unified brand name “Gate”. The brand upgrade presents a cohesive global identity and further strengthens Gate’s professional image and international influence as a leading global exchange.

Strategic Leap: Building the “Next-Generation Crypto Exchange”

Beneath the surface of this brand transformation lies a bolder strategic ambition. On April 30, at Gate’s 12th Anniversary Global Celebration in Dubai, Founder and CEO Dr. Han introduced the vision to build the “next-generation crypto exchange”. This strategy emphasizes transformative growth across three core pillars:

  • Technology-Driven Innovation: Continuously upgrading the trading experience through iterative product development and breakthroughs in underlying technologies.
  • Global Compliance: Establishing a robust global compliance network backed by licenses and regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions, strengthening industry credibility.
  • Ecosystem Integration: Expanding from trading to encompass Web3, infrastructure, and investment services, building a closed-loop digital economy.

Gate’s mission is to continuously enhance its offerings with a professional, secure, and open approach, aiming to become a foundational infrastructure for the global digital economy and to provide future-ready, trustworthy digital asset services to users worldwide.

Global Compliance Footprint: Expanding with Purpose

Gate Group places strong emphasis on a “compliance-first” strategy, steadily advancing its global regulatory presence. In recent years, its various entities have obtained or completed regulatory registrations, licences, authorizations, or approvals across various jurisdictions, such as Lithuania, Argentina, Malta, Italy, Bahamas, Gibraltar, and Hong Kong.

In 2024, Gate Group’s entity completed the acquisition of Japan-licensed exchange Coin Master, further consolidating its compliance footprint in the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, Gate Technology FZE (“Gate Dubai”), an entity of Gate Group, recently received a full operational license from Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai. The license authorizes Gate Dubai to offer crypto asset trading services to institutional investors, qualified investors, and retail users, marking a major milestone in its expansion into the MENA region and global markets. It is a testament to its long-standing commitment to security, transparency, and user protection.

With parallel advancements in technology innovation, user experience, ecosystem expansion, and global compliance, Gate is evolving from a top-tier trading platform into a trusted global digital finance ecosystem. The launch of the Gate.com domain and refreshed logo represents more than a brand update—it is a declaration of Gate’s long-term commitment and vision for the global user community. Looking ahead, Gate remains firmly committed to its development principles of user-first, technological innovation, and global compliance, and will continue to work alongside users, developers, and partners worldwide to shape a safe, open, and sustainable crypto future.
