Gate Chief Business Officer Kevin Lee responded to rumors in an official AMA: Reserve funds have exceeded 10 billion, ranking fourth in the industry, and called for healthy development
On December 13, Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer of Gate.io, responded positively to recent false statements about the platform in a special AMA live broadcast, and fully disclosed the latest data for the first time, showing Gate.io's strong strength and firm commitment to global users. This live broadcast not only eliminated the negative impact of rumors on the market, but also highlighted Gate.io's leading position and responsibility in the industry.

Reserves exceed 10 billion, stable operation reaffirms strength
Kevin Lee emphasized in the live broadcast that Gate.io always adheres to the core of user asset security and adheres to the principle of transparent management. As of now, the platform's reserve fund has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, ranking fourth in the industry worldwide. This data far exceeds the industry benchmark and provides users with unprecedented asset protection.
At the same time, the platform's deposit, withdrawal and trading functions are all normal, and there are no false problems reported by the outside world. Kevin Lee called on all participants in the industry to promote the healthy development of the crypto market with a constructive attitude and put an end to malicious competition and the spread of false information.
Recently, some lawless elements have attempted to discredit the platform's reputation and create user panic by forging screenshots and fabricating false information. These behaviors include using forged addresses to create incorrect transaction information, and confusing the public by intercepting the withdrawal failure page, concealing the specific reasons for failure provided by the platform, and maliciously spreading false rumors such as "unable to withdraw cash".
In response, Kevin Lee made it clear in the AMA that Gate.io severely condemned these malicious behaviors and promised to further strengthen user education and risk warnings. At the same time, it reminds users to remain highly vigilant, carefully verify the source of information, and avoid being misled by false screenshots and other means. Gate.io will continue to optimize the platform's security mechanism to provide users with a more transparent and secure trading environment.
Breakthrough in all data, leading the industry
During the live broadcast, Kevin Lee shared Gate.io's recent outstanding performance in multiple dimensions, using facts to counter rumors and enhance market trust.
Gate.io is currently ranked among the top five in the global crypto industry in terms of website traffic, attracting the continued attention of a large number of users. In terms of trading depth, Gate.io's spot and contract markets both rank first in the industry worldwide, providing users with a highly competitive trading experience.
At the same time, the number and speed of currencies launched on the platform remain the first in the world, especially in the spot and small currency contract markets. Gate.io covers the diversified needs of global users with faster response capabilities and richer choices.
It is worth mentioning that the platform's spot trading growth rate has exceeded 290%, which is much higher than the industry average. At present, Gate.io's 100% reserve fund has exceeded the industry benchmark by 20%. Combined with the steadily growing reserve fund scale, Gate.io is committed to creating a stable, secure and diversified asset management platform for users.
Kevin Lee also pointed out that Gate.io has also made remarkable achievements in the field of innovation. As of now, the total amount of Startup airdrops has exceeded 120 million US dollars, providing a win-win innovation ecosystem for new projects and users. In other aspects, grid trading has exceeded 300,000 users, total transactions have exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and the scale of Yubibao is nearly 2 billion US dollars.
In addition, the platform currency GT has steadily risen, setting a record high of $13.890. The long-term deflation mechanism has destroyed a cumulative value of more than $180 million, continuing to create higher value for users.

Build trust with security and transparency, and work together to promote the healthy development of the industry
Gate.io's AMA is a powerful "end" to a rumor, and it also sends a clear signal to users: No matter how the market changes, Gate.io will firmly protect user assets based on security, transparency and stable operations. At the same time, Kevin Lee once again called on industry participants to promote the healthy development of the encryption industry with a win-win attitude and build a healthy and sustainable encryption ecosystem.
In the future, Gate.io will continue to deepen user services and technological innovation to provide global users with a trustworthy crypto asset trading experience. This is not only a strong support for the healthy development of the industry, but also the best feedback for the trust of every user.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
