ChainCatcher reports that, according to the latest official data, Gate’s institutional business maintained growth in February. Specifically, the average daily trading volume of institutional spot trading increased by about 5% month-over-month, and the average daily trading volume of institutional derivatives increased by nearly 20%. Despite overall market volatility and holiday factors, institutional trading activity has continued to rise.

In terms of ecosystem development, Gate successfully hosted the Gate Institutional Circle event during Consensus HK, attracting around 70 industry representatives from market makers, asset management firms, and custodians such as Copper, Flow Traders, Flowdesk, and Wincent. The event focused on topics like cross-exchange liquidity, institutional trading infrastructure, and risk management.

Meanwhile, Gate is advancing the development of cross-exchange trading infrastructure CrossEx, third-party custody integration, and API systems. The platform is also collaborating with custody providers like Fireblocks, Copper, and Bitgo to enhance institutional trading and asset custody support. As cross-platform liquidity cooperation and institutional trading architecture continue to improve, the platform’s institutional infrastructure is further expanding toward globalization and specialization.
