According to ChainCatcher, the latest official data shows that Gate's institutional business maintained a growth trend in February. Specifically, the average daily trading volume of institutional spot trading increased by approximately 5% month-on-month, and the average daily trading volume of institutional contracts increased by nearly 20% month-on-month. Despite overall market volatility and holiday factors, institutional trading activity still improved.
In terms of building an institutional ecosystem, Gate successfully hosted the Gate Institutional Circle event during Consensus HK, attracting about 70 industry representatives from market makers, asset management institutions and custodians such as Copper, Flow Traders, Flowdesk and Wincent to exchange views on topics such as cross-exchange liquidity, institutional-grade trading infrastructure and risk management.
At the same time, Gate is advancing the development of its cross-exchange trading infrastructure, CrossEx, third-party custody integration, and API system, and is also technically integrating with custody institutions such as Fireblocks, Copper, and Bitgo to strengthen institutional-grade trading and asset custody support. With the continuous improvement of cross-platform liquidity collaboration and institutional-grade trading architecture, the platform's institutional business infrastructure is further expanding towards globalization and specialization.
