Gate Launchpad Future Outlook: Mechanism Revolution, Ecological Coordination, and Compliance Expansion to Build a New Encryption Ecosystem

In May 2025, the relaunched Gate Launchpad kicked off with a bang featuring Puffverse (PFVS): 10 million Tokens recorded a 450% rise on the first day, with a subscription amount of 656 million dollars oversubscribed by 938 times, attracting over 35,000 users to participate.

Two months later, the PUMP project switched strategies, using 2.5 billion high circulation design to verify persistence, with a daily average trading volume stabilizing at 120 million dollars.

The real qualitative change occurred in July. The Ika (IKA) project introduced the dual-track subscription mechanism of USD1 and GT for the first time, with 80% of the allocation going to the stablecoin pool and 20% reserved for the platform coin.

This design has triggered a fund migration of 196 million USD1, pushing Gate's USD1 holdings to surge by 170 million USD within 72 hours, ranking second among global centralized exchanges, only behind Binance.

##Mechanism Revolution, Dual-Track Experiment and the Evolution of Distribution Justice

The core competitiveness of the Launchpad lies in the continuous iteration of the asset allocation mechanism. Gate has demonstrated a clear evolutionary trajectory in its three issuances in 2025.

• Dual-track subscription: The IKA project adopts a dual-pool design for the first time, with USD1 (80%) and GT (20%). The USD1 pool provides price stability and avoids GT volatility risk, while the GT pool retains arbitrage space. The market reaction verifies its foresight: the final subscription ratio reached 196 million USD1 : 5.13 million GT, approaching a 4:1 funding ratio, revealing the market's strong risk aversion preference.
• Time Value Financialization: IKA adopts the "Hourly Snapshot + Proportional Distribution" rule, where the system calculates the user's average locked amount proportion for token distribution every hour, making it clear that "the earlier you participate, the higher the returns". This design gives financial value to the time dimension, but also raises higher demands for institutions' multi-account strategies, pushing the allocation rules to tilt towards the true early participants.
• Mode comparison experiment: From the 10 million small volume high explosion design of PFVS to the 2.5 billion high circulation path of PUMP, Gate has verified the adaptability of different issuance models, laying the foundation for subsequent mechanism combination innovation.

Stablecoin Strategy Upgrade: From Trading Tools to Capital Pool Wars

The IKA subscription event reveals a fundamental shift in the competitive logic of exchanges: stablecoins are upgrading from pricing tools to strategic assets for exchanges.

When IKA launches the subscription, USD1 worth 170 million dollars flows into Gate's hot wallet through the BSC chain, and this deposited capital essentially constitutes a "zero-cost fund pool." During the lock-up period before the project goes live, the exchange can freely allocate these funds:

• Provide depth for spot trading pairs (BTC/USD1 spread narrowed to 0.1%)
• Supports collateral for lending services
• Carry out short-term arbitrage operations

Glassnode predicts that by 2026, the total holdings of exchange stablecoins will exceed $200 billion. Gate's design for stablecoin entry through the Launchpad has attracted nearly $200 million USD1 for a single project, validating the new paradigm that "the size of the fund pool is the competitiveness."

Ecological synergy, the flywheel effect of Launchpad accelerates

The success of the Launchpad is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather a powerful synergy with the overall Gate ecosystem, driving multidimensional growth of users, assets, and businesses.

• User and asset expansion: Within three months after the relaunch of the Launchpad, Gate Alpha has launched nearly a thousand on-chain assets, attracting hundreds of thousands of trading users; P2P business coverage has expanded to 80 countries with over 50 fiat currencies, and payment channels exceed 450 types, with a month-on-month conversion rate increase of 5.7%.

• Rise of institutional business: The number of institutional users increased by 27% month-on-month, contract trading volume rose by 33.59%, the excess reserve ratio (23.09%) and 100% asset transparency verified by zero-knowledge proof became the core chips to attract professional funds.

As of August 11, 2025, the number of users on the Gate exchange has exceeded 34 million, and its market share has jumped to second place in the world, with total reserves valued at 10.453 billion USD. The formation of this growth flywheel is a direct reflection of the value of ecological synergy.

Global Compliance Infrastructure, the Invisible Pillar of Expansion

Behind the mechanism innovation and ecological synergy, the compliance layout constitutes the underlying support for Gate's growth.

In Q2 2025, the platform obtained a VASP license in Dubai, successfully incorporating the Middle East into its compliant service network. By this time, its global compliance map has covered more than 10 countries and regions, including Lithuania and Japan.

The upgrade of the risk control system further strengthens the cornerstone of trust. The platform's anti-money laundering mechanism has been certified by international authoritative institutions, and against the backdrop of tightening regulations in various countries, such compliance qualifications become a key differentiated advantage for the Launchpad to attract traditional capital.

Global brand activities are advancing simultaneously: collaborating with the F1 Red Bull Racing Team to launch a series of NFTs, hosting the 12th anniversary celebration of the SPORT3 Sports Carnival in Dubai, and the 7th World Cryptocurrency Trading Competition (WCTC S7) attracting over 110,000 participants.

These measures send clear signals of a new emerging market strategy, especially the user growth in the Middle East will become a core engine for the future.

The Three Future Evolution Directions: Paradigm Innovation in Crypto Infrastructure

Based on the current trajectory, the evolution direction of Gate Launchpad is clearly discernible:

• Mechanism Refinement: A dual-track system may become a standard feature of the platform, and the time-weighted distribution rules will be further optimized, for example, by introducing more asset types (such as LST) or dynamically adjusting ratios.

• Stablecoin Ecosystem: USD1 will expand from a subscription tool to a basic currency within the ecosystem, covering scenarios such as trading pairs, lending collateral, and derivative margins, forming a closed-loop financial system.

• Deepening global compliance: Relying on the existing foundation of over 10 national licenses, focusing on expanding incremental markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while simultaneously advancing licensing and local operations.

At the industry level, Gate is reconstructing the value logic of the Launchpad. While most exchanges still regard platform coins as the only subscription credentials, Gate's "stablecoin + platform coin" dual-track system has opened up new pathways.

This model not only alleviates the selling pressure risk of GT but also enhances the exchange's financial strength through the stablecoin pool, which may trigger a wave of imitation in the industry.

##Future Outlook

The logic of the exchange war has been rewritten. When Binance reduced its Launchpad business, Gate transformed a token issuance into a $196 million capital migration with its dual-track system, propelling its USD1 holdings to the second largest globally.

The latest data shows that as of August 12, the number of Gate users has surpassed 34 million, with total reserves valued at $10.453 billion and an excess reserve ratio of 23.09%.

The future belongs to visionaries who transform stablecoins from speculative tools into financial infrastructure. With a compliant network covering over 10 countries, this platform with more than 34 million users has quietly built a true moat.
