• Gold/Silver Record Highs Coverage (Jan 19)
Posted about surging precious metals driving Gate TradFi futures volume (24/7 USDT-margined XAU/XAG perps up to 50x leverage). Ties perfectly into the ongoing TradFi push—ideal for hedging in volatile times.

Broader Notes
• TradFi & Rewards Still Rolling: The core TradFi expansion (CFDs, precious metals perps) + 150k USDT prize pool from earlier in Jan remains a big draw—test with trial funds if you haven’t.
• Other Listings/Activities: Recent spots like FOGO promotions, HODLer Airdrops (e.g., ACU), and stock token incentives (over $14B volume milestone, 500k+ USDT prizes) are active.
• Platform Perks for New Users: Welcome rewards (up to thousands in USDT via tasks/P2P), low fees, and GT benefits.
For Abuja users, @gate_african is the go-to for timed, regional vibes (GM posts, puzzles, football tie-ins). Head to the Gate app or gate.io/announcements/calendar for exact timers/eligibility—some need quick action today (puzzle ends soon!). Always KYC where required, DYOR, and trade responsibly.
