As of August 27, 2025, according to the latest market data, Bitcoin price hovering around $111,250, Ethereum is reported at $4,585, with the intraday increase at one point expanding to 5.00%.
Against the backdrop of market volatility, the mechanism innovation and ecological synergy of Gate Launchpad have made it a focal point in the industry.
Three consecutive wins, restructuring asset issuance logic.
In May 2025, Gate Launchpad will restart with a brand new look. The first project, Puffverse (PFVS), set a myth of 450% first-day increase, attracting 35,553 participants, with a total subscription amount reaching 656 million USDT, oversubscribed by 938 times.
This success has laid a solid foundation for the restart of Launchpad. The "small volume high explosion" model of PFVS has validated the market’s demand for quality assets, with its team coming from companies like Alibaba, Xiaomi, and receiving investments from top institutions such as Animoca Brands and HashKey.
Two months later, the second phase of the project PUMP switched its strategy path, expanding the total supply of tokens to 2.5 billion, with a unit price dropping to 0.004 USDT, setting an industry record of 306 times oversubscription. Unlike PFVS, the core value of PUMP lies in verifying the sustainability and market depth of high liquidity projects.
The mechanism has undergone a qualitative change, IKA has triggered a revolution in the capital pool.
The real evolution occurs in the third phase of the IKA project. Gate introduces a dual-track subscription mechanism with USD1 and GT for the first time: 80% of the allocation is designated for the stablecoin USD1 pool, while 20% is reserved for the platform token GT pool.
The market reaction reveals a profound risk aversion: the total number of participants is nearly 20,000, with a total subscription amount exceeding 348 million USDT, of which the USD1 pool alone accounts for 228 million, with a funding ratio close to 4:1.
This mechanism has brought about a deeper impact - after IKA launched the subscription, 190 million USD1 flowed into Gate through the BSC chain within 72 hours, propelling its total USD1 holdings to second place among global centralized exchanges, only behind Binance.
Ecological synergy, creating a growth flywheel
The success of the Launchpad has directly driven the growth of the entire Gate ecosystem. According to the transparency report for July 2025, the number of users on the Gate exchange has surpassed 34 million, with derivatives trading volume soaring to 74 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 46.5%.
The total value of reserves reached 10.504 billion USD, with a total preparation rate of 126.03%. Excess reserves grew by 10.66% quarterly, reaching 2.17 billion USD. These figures demonstrate the platform’s strong financial strength and commitment to the safety of user assets.
The synergistic effects of various business lines within the ecosystem are evident: Gate Alpha has launched nearly a thousand on-chain assets; P2P business covers 80 countries with over 50 fiat currencies; the number of institutional business users has increased by 27% month-on-month, and contract trading volume has risen by 33.59%.
Compliance expansion, global layout acceleration
Behind the mechanism innovation and ecological expansion, 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 into its compliance service network.
As of now, its global compliance map has covered more than 10 countries and regions, including Lithuania and Japan. This compliance advantage lays the foundation for global user access to the Launchpad and provides a broader market space for the issuance of future new projects.
Future outlook, new project issuance time and direction
Although Gate has not officially announced the specific issuance time for the next project on the Launchpad, based on historical patterns and current development trends, September 2025 is likely to be the window period for the launch of new projects.
From the perspective of evolutionary trajectory, the future development of Launchpad may focus on three directions: refinement of mechanisms (dual-track system or becoming standard), ecological stability of stablecoins (USD1 expanding from a subscription tool to a trading pair benchmark and lending collateral), and deepening global compliance (with a focus on developing incremental markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia).
While the market is still digesting the data from previous periods, Gate has transformed a regular token issuance into a capital migration of nearly $200 million through innovative mechanisms. This capability ensures that the Launchpad continues to have the potential to provide quality projects for the market.
As of August 27, 2025, the USD1 trading volume on Gate exchange has risen to the second largest among global centralized exchanges, only behind Binance. Its total reserves are valued at over 10.5 billion USD, and the user base has surpassed 34 million.
These data not only showcase Gate’s strength but also hint that the next Launchpad project may be brewing. According to past patterns, new projects are likely to debut in mid to late September, continuing to adopt innovative mechanisms to balance the interests of large and small investors.
The future belongs to those visionaries who transform stablecoins from speculative tools into financial infrastructure, and Gate Launchpad is steadily moving in that direction.
