Gate Launchpad Future Outlook: The Triple Evolution of Mechanism Revolution, Ecological Collaboration, and Compliance Expansion

In May 2025, the long-dormant Gate Launchpad made a stunning comeback with the Puffverse (PFVS) project: 10 million Tokens achieved 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 Ika (IKA) project introduced a dual-track subscription mechanism with USD1 and GT, triggering a migration of $196 million in stablecoin funds, which propelled Gate's USD1 holdings to surge by $170 million within 72 hours, ranking second among global centralized exchanges.

Mechanism revolution, dual breakthrough in capital allocation paradigm

While most exchanges still adhere to a single platform coin subscription model, Gate Launchpad has completed a triple evolution of its distribution mechanism in three issuances in 2025.

In July 2025, the IKA project first adopted a dual-pool design with USD1 (80%) and GT (20%), and the market response revealed a profound risk aversion preference. The final subscription amount reached 228 million USD1 and 6.59 million GT, approaching a 4:1 funding ratio.

This design not only avoids the risk of GT price fluctuations but also upgrades stablecoins from trading tools to strategic assets. When a large amount of USD1 flows into the Gate hot wallet, it effectively forms a "zero-cost fund pool," allowing the exchange to freely allocate resources to enhance spot liquidity or support lending services.

In terms of time dimension, IKA's "hourly snapshot + proportional distribution" rule brings another layer of innovation. The system calculates the proportion of users' average locked amount per hour to distribute Tokens, financializing time value and pushing distribution towards real early participants.

The early projects PFVS and PUMP present a stark contrast: the former achieved a high burst with a small volume of 10 million coins, while the latter verified its persistence with a high circulation of 2.5 billion tokens, maintaining an average daily trading volume of 120 million dollars.

##Stablecoin strategy, the ultimate weapon in the exchange liquidity pool war

The IKA subscription event marks a fundamental shift in the competitive logic of exchanges - stablecoins have officially become core strategic assets.

Glassnode predicts that by 2026, the total amount of stablecoin holdings on exchanges will exceed 200 billion USD. Gate has attracted nearly 200 million USD1 through a single Launchpad, validating a new paradigm of "the scale of the capital pool equates to competitiveness."

These deposited funds can serve three functions during the lock-up period before the project's launch:

• Compressed trading spread: The BTC/USD1 spread narrowed to 0.1%, significantly enhancing the spot trading experience.
• Support for lending and collateral: Providing institutional clients with more flexible leverage tools.
• Short-term arbitrage operations: enhance the utilization rate of the exchange's own funds

With BTC breaking through $123,000 and ETH reaching a high of $4,700 on August 14, the strategic position of stablecoins has become more prominent. In an environment of increasing market volatility, investors are more inclined to participate in new asset issuances through stablecoin pools, seeking a balance between risk and return.

Ecological Synergy, Launchpad Driven Growth Flywheel

The success of the Launchpad is by no means an isolated phenomenon; rather, it is a strong synergy with the overall Gate ecosystem, driving multidimensional growth in users, assets, and business.

User and asset data show an explosive curve:

• The number of exchange users has exceeded 34 million, with market share jumping to the second place globally.
• The total value of reserves reaches 10.453 billion USD, with an excess reserve ratio of 23.09%.
• Gate Alpha has launched nearly a thousand on-chain assets, with the number of new coins increasing by 65% compared to the previous period.

The synergy of business collaboration is also significant:

• P2P business coverage expanded to 80 countries with 50+ fiat currencies, payment channels exceeding 450 types, and a month-on-month conversion rate increase of 5.7%.
• The number of institutional users increased by 27% month-on-month, and contract trading volume rose by 33.59%.
• The number of projects launched on Launchpool has reached 290, far exceeding Binance (108) and OKX (11).

Technology empowers the formation of a two-way value cycle. Taking IKA as an example, as the "fastest parallel MPC network", it provides second-level cross-chain signatures for the Sui ecosystem's $20 trillion assets. Such tech-driven projects gain traffic through the Launchpad, which in turn feeds back into the diversification of exchange assets.

Global compliance, the invisible pillar of crypto 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 the Dubai VASP license, successfully incorporating the Middle East into its compliance service network. By this time, its global compliance footprint 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 have become a key differentiating advantage to attract traditional capital.

Global brand activities are advancing simultaneously: launching an NFT series in collaboration with the F1 Red Bull Racing team, 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 release clear signals of a new emerging market strategy, with user growth in the Middle East becoming a core engine for the future.

Three Future Evolution Directions: Restructuring the Logic of Cryptocurrency Asset Issuance

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

The Road to Mechanism Improvement: The dual-track system will become a standard configuration for the platform, time-weighted distribution rules will be further optimized, and more asset types (such as LST) or dynamic adjustment ratios may be introduced. The goal is to establish a more precise interest balance mechanism between large and small investors.

Stablecoin Ecologization: USD1 will expand from a subscription tool to a basic currency within the ecosystem, covering scenarios such as trading pairs, lending collateral, and derivatives margin, forming a closed-loop financial system. This will fundamentally change the role of stablecoins in the exchange ecosystem.

Global compliance deepening: relying on the existing foundation of over 10 national licenses, focusing on expanding into incremental markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while simultaneously promoting licensing and localized operations. In the context of increasing regulatory uncertainty in the US and Europe, the layout in emerging markets has strategic significance.

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

##Future Outlook When Binance scaled back its Launchpad business, Gate's stablecoin strategy quietly changed the game. Behind its USD1 holdings soaring to the second largest globally is the choice of 34 million users and the confidence of a reserve of 10.453 billion dollars.

As of August 14, 2025, with BTC breaking through $123,000 and ETH standing at $4,700, the crypto market has entered a high-level consolidation phase, and the triple evolution of Gate Launchpad is paving the way for the next decade of crypto financial infrastructure.
