Brief

The GateToken community remains cautiously optimistic — a combination of deflation and utility sparks interest, but can GT outcompete other exchange tokens? Here are the main trends:

Integration of GT into Layer 2 is optimistic — burning 60% of tokens and staking mechanics support hopes for Web3 development.
Resilience in a falling market — growth in GT is seen as a positive factor, as tokens from centralized exchanges serve as liquidity anchors.
Airdrop fatigue — small GT distributions evoke mixed reactions amid overall macroeconomic uncertainty.

1. @n0day0ff: Optimism around GT integration into Gate Layer

"GT is becoming a gas token… over 60% has already been burned. Staking GT now supports network operation"

What it means: A positive signal for GT, as Gate Layer (EVM Layer 2 with a throughput of 5,000 transactions per second) links GT to gas payments and staking rewards, accelerating deflation (since 2019, 59.54% of tokens burned). However, success depends on decentralized app popularity — the total burned GateChain tokens reached $3.9 billion (AMBCrypto), but ecosystem activity is needed to sustain growth.

2. @Nicat_eth: Exchange token resilience — neutral

What it means: Neutral — GT’s market cap is $791 million, supported by fee discounts and buybacks, but trading volumes remain low — $6.92 million (-28% over the week). Competition is fierce — BNB’s market cap reaches $44 billion, and ETH holds 11.83% of the global market(, creating pressure on the centralized exchange token niche to which GT belongs.

3. @VenturesCapp: Small GT airdrops cause pessimism

"Phase 112 airdrop offers from 0.6 to 2.8 GT per user"

What it means: Negative signal — small distributions )up to (per user at a price of $10.20 per GT$28 indicate declining growth strategy effectiveness. Meanwhile, in Q2, GT worth )million $35 NullTX( was burned, showing divided attention between token scarcity and user retention.

Conclusion

Overall sentiment on GT is mixed — technical prospects )for Gate Layer’s shift to utility( are optimistic, but liquidity concerns )turnover rate 6%( and regulatory risks warrant caution. Watch trading activity in December: GT needs to surpass a daily volume of )million to break out of the $9.80–$10.40 range it has been in since November. Is the fate of the centralized exchange token tied to the success of its blockchain?$10
