Gate Launchpad Future Outlook: Mechanism Innovation and Ecological Collaboration Build a New Encryption Ecosystem

In 2025, Gate Launchpad has rapidly grown into the core innovation engine of the cryptocurrency issuance market. Its three exquisite project issuances not only showcase the evolutionary trajectory of mechanism innovation but also reveal the future development direction of the cryptocurrency economy. Behind this achievement is Gate Launchpad's continuous exploration of mechanism innovation, ecological collaboration, and Compliance expansion.

Three-round project issuance, exploring the boundaries of mechanism innovation

Looking back at the evolution path of Gate Launchpad after its reboot, the three project issuances present a clear trajectory of mechanism innovation.

The Puffverse (PFVS) project, launched in May, adopts a "small scale and high explosion" model, with a total issuance of 10 million tokens and a unit price of 0.07 USDT, creating an astonishing market performance: attracting 35,553 participants, with a total investment of 656 million USDT (over subscription by 938 times), and a first-day increase of up to 450%.

Two months later, the PUMP project switched its strategy path, creating an industry record of 306 times oversubscription with a total issuance of 2.5 billion tokens and an ultra-low unit price of 0.004 USDT. After its launch, the daily trading volume stabilized at 120 million USDT, verifying the durability and market depth of high liquidity projects.

The real qualitative change occurred in the third phase of the Ika (IKA) project. In July 2025, Gate first introduced a dual subscription mechanism for USD1 and GT: 80% of the allocation is distributed to the stablecoin USD1 pool, while 20% is reserved for the platform token GT.

Dual-track design, rewriting the competition logic of exchange funds

The dual-track design of the IKA project is by no means a simple increase in options, but rather a sophisticated experimental game.

The USD1 pool provides price certainty, avoiding the risk of GT price fluctuations; while the GT pool retains the possibility of arbitrage—if the GT price drops, dynamic pricing may make the subscription cost significantly lower than the USD1 pool.

The market response validates the foresight of the mechanism: the final subscription ratio of IKA reached 196 million USD1 : 5.13 million GT, approaching a 4:1 fund ratio, revealing the current market's strong risk aversion instinct.

The deeper impact lies in the competition for control over exchange liquidity. When nearly 200 million USD1 is locked in the Gate platform due to subscriptions, this capital essentially constitutes a "zero-cost capital pool."

During the lock-up period before the project goes live, the exchange can freely allocate these stablecoins: to provide depth for spot trading pairs (BTC/USD1 spread narrowed to 0.1%), support collateral for lending services, and even engage in short-term arbitrage operations.

Ecological collaborative growth, building a growth flywheel effect

The success of the Launchpad directly drives the collaborative growth of the entire Gate ecosystem, forming a powerful growth flywheel.

Gate Alpha (formerly MemeBox) has launched nearly a thousand on-chain assets, attracting hundreds of thousands of trading users; the P2P business covers 80 countries with over 50 fiat currencies, and there are more than 450 payment channels, with a month-on-month conversion rate increase of 5.7%.

Institutional business has also risen, with a month-on-month increase in users of 27% and a 33.59% rise in contract trading volume. The transparency report of July 2025 shows that the user scale of Gate exchange has surpassed 34 million, and the derivatives trading volume has skyrocketed to 740 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 46.5%.

The total reserve scale reached 10.504 billion USD, with a total preparation rate of 126.03%. Excess reserves increased by 10.66% quarterly, reaching 2.17 billion USD. These data build the core competitiveness to attract institutional funds.

Compliance global expansion, laying the foundation for growth.

Behind the innovation in mechanisms and ecological collaboration, Gate's compliance layout has built a key infrastructure support.

In Q2 2025, the platform obtained the Dubai VASP license, successfully incorporating the Middle East region into its Compliance service network. As of now, 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. Against the backdrop of tightening regulations in various countries, such compliance qualifications will become a key differentiating advantage for Launchpad to attract traditional capital.

Global brand activities are advancing simultaneously: a co-branded NFT series with the F1 Red Bull Racing team, the 12th anniversary celebration of the SPORT3 sports carnival held in Dubai, and the 7th World Cryptocurrency Trading Competition (WCTC S7) attracted over 110,000 participants.

Future Outlook: Threefold Evolution Direction Building a New Moat

Based on the current trajectory, the evolution direction of Gate Launchpad has become clear.

Refinement of mechanisms: A dual-track system may become a standard configuration for the platform, and the time-weighted distribution rules will more accurately balance the interests of large and small investors. In the future, more asset types (such as LST) or dynamic adjustment ratios may be introduced to further optimize the distribution mechanism.

Stablecoin Ecology: USD1 will expand from a subscription tool to a trading pair benchmark and lending collateral, forming a closed-loop financial ecosystem. Glassnode predicts that by 2026, the total holdings of exchange stablecoins will exceed 200 billion USD.

Global Compliance Deepening: Relying on the existing licenses from more than 10 countries, focusing on expanding into incremental markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while simultaneously promoting licensing and localized operations.

At the industry level, Gate is reconstructing the value logic of the Launchpad. While most exchanges still regard platform tokens as the only subscription certificate, Gate's "stablecoin + platform token" dual-track system opens up a new path.

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 competitive logic of exchanges has been rewritten. When Binance scaled back its Launchpad business, Gate transformed a single token issuance into a migration of $196 million in funds through a dual-track system, propelling its USD1 holdings to second place globally, second only to Binance.

The future belongs to the visionaries who transform stablecoins from speculative tools into financial infrastructure. With a compliance network covering over 10 countries and regions, over 34 million users, and reserves exceeding 10.5 billion USD, Gate has quietly built a true moat.
