"Small steps don't accumulate unless they reach a thousand miles."

What is the concept of five million?

It's roughly eight times the population of Singapore, and more than the population of many medium-sized European countries. By March 2026, the number of registered users at Gate officially reached this figure. The number itself isn't the most important — anyone can choose a large number to tell a story. What's important is what happened behind these five million.

This sector has gone through several "moments of death": the collapse of Mt.Gox, the burst of the ICO bubble, the FTX explosion... each cycle of restructuring led to the fall of platforms that seemed invincible. And what remains isn't always the largest in size, but the most stable from the start.

User volume is just a result. Reaching five million reflects a simple but challenging principle: users first, security as a priority, and continuous product development. Currently, Gate's reserve coverage reaches 125%, and trading volume in spot and derivatives markets ranks third globally in the long term. These numbers together not only represent size but also the choice of a platform in a highly competitive market for a tougher, but more resilient path.

Numbers will continue to grow. More importantly, can Gate make the genuine users behind five million accounts feel that their assets are safe here, that they are increasing, and that they are being taken seriously?

And as always, this is just a good start.

“Small steps lead to a thousand miles.”

Fifty million—what does that really mean?

It’s about eight times the population of Singapore, and even more than the total population of many medium-sized European countries. By March 2026, Gate’s registered users officially hit this milestone. The number itself is never the point—anyone can find a big number to tell a story. What truly matters is what has happened behind these fifty million.

This industry has gone through countless “death moments”: the collapse of Mt.Gox, the burst of the ICO bubble, the FTX explosion… Each wave of upheaval has seen seemingly unshakable platforms fall apart. Those that remain are never the largest in scale but the most solid in foundation.

User numbers are just the result. Reaching fifty million is based on a simple yet difficult-to-maintain logic: prioritize users, ensure security first, and continuously improve the product. Currently, Gate’s reserve coverage ratio stands at 125%, and its spot and derivatives trading volumes have long ranked among the top three globally. These numbers reveal not just scale, but that in a highly competitive market, the platform has chosen a more challenging but more solid path.

The numbers will continue to grow. What’s more important is whether Gate can make the fifty million accounts’ real users feel that their assets are safe here, that they are appreciating, and that they are being taken seriously.

As always, this is just a good beginning.
