Gate Launchpad Mechanism Analysis and Future Prospects: The Encryption Innovation Engine in the Bull Run

The Crypto Assets market is at a historic moment. On August 14, Bitcoin broke through the $124,400 mark, pushing the global total market capitalization to a historic high of $4.26 trillion.

In this capital feast, Gate Launchpad has strongly positioned itself through innovative mechanisms: it has restarted the continuous issuance of three major projects, PFVS, PUMP, and IKA, within three months, with an average oversubscription of 434 times, a maximum increase of 450% on the first day, and a single project raising over 348 million US dollars.

As of August 19, the market has slightly adjusted from its peak, with the total market capitalization of Crypto Assets falling to $3.9 trillion, and Bitcoin consolidating around $115,000. At this turning point in the market, the mechanism design of Gate Launchpad demonstrates even greater strategic value.

Mechanism Revolution, Dual Track System and Financialization of Time Value

The core competitiveness of the Launchpad lies in the continuous evolution of the allocation mechanism. In 2025, Gate achieved a triple breakthrough through three issuances, redefining the rules for Crypto Assets issuance.

The dual-track risk diversion has become the biggest innovation point. In the IKA project, a dual pool design of USD1 (80%) + GT (20%) is adopted for the first time. The USD1 pool avoids the price fluctuation risk of the platform coin GT, providing stability; the GT pool retains the arbitrage space - if GT declines, it can reduce the subscription cost.

The market votes with real money: the final subscription ratio reached 228 million USD1 : 6.59 million GT (close to 4:1), highlighting the current risk aversion preference in the bull market.

The financialization of time dimensions breaks the traditional lottery model. IKA introduces the "hourly snapshot + proportional distribution" rule, distributing tokens based on each user's average locked position share per hour, clearly stating that "the earlier you participate, the higher the returns."

This design transforms time into a financial variable, effectively suppressing institutional multi-account strategies and favoring genuine early participants. Early participants with small capital may achieve excess returns, while large capital inflows later face the risk of dilution.

Issuance Model Experiment, Diversity Verification Market Logic

The third phase of the Gate Launchpad project consists of a series of intricate controlled experiments to validate the market adaptability of different issuance models.

• PFVS (Small Cap High Explosion): Launched in May, with a limited supply of 10 million coins, it set a record with a 450% increase on the first day, attracting 35,553 retail investors, with subscriptions exceeding 20 million USDT in just 5 hours. This proves the explosive potential of small market capitalization projects.

• PUMP (High Circulation Durability): Issued 2.5 billion high circulation tokens by switching tracks, setting a record of 306 times oversubscription, with an average daily trading volume firmly at 120 million USD. Validates the market depth advantages of high circulation projects.

• IKA (Mechanism Innovation): Dual-track system + time-weighted distribution, driving $196 million USD1 in funds to migrate to the Gate platform, propelling its USD1 holdings to become the second largest among global exchanges. This highlights the siphoning effect of innovative mechanisms.

Ecological Synergy, the Growth Wheel of Users and Institutional Businesses

The success of the Launchpad is not isolated; it forms a closed-loop synergy with the entire Gate ecosystem, driving three-dimensional growth of users, assets, and business.

User and Asset Expansion: In the three months since the restart, Gate Alpha has launched nearly a thousand on-chain assets, with P2P services covering 80 countries and over 50 fiat currencies, and more than 450 payment channels, resulting in a month-on-month conversion rate increase of 5.7%.

Institutional Business Surge: The number of institutional users increased by 27% month-on-month, and contract trading volume rose by 33.59%. The total value of platform reserves reached 10.453 billion USD (excess reserve ratio of 23.09%) and 100% asset transparency verified by zero-knowledge proofs, becoming a core asset to attract professional funds.

Product Innovation Linkage: The "Dual Yield Plan" launched on August 12 allows users to automatically transfer their staked BTC, ETH, GT, or USDT in Launchpool to the Yubibao fixed-term account, earning airdrop rewards and up to 4% annualized yield.

As of August 15, Gate's global users have exceeded 34 million, and its market share has jumped to second place in the world, confirming that the ecological flywheel effect has taken shape.

Compliance and Stablecoins, the Dual Pillars of Growth

At the bottom of mechanism innovation, compliance constitutes an invisible pillar of growth.

In Q2 2025, obtain the Dubai VASP license, incorporating the Middle East into the service network, while simultaneously advancing compliance layouts in regions such as Lithuania and Japan. Its global compliance map has covered more than 10 countries and regions, becoming a key differentiating advantage in attracting traditional capital.

The stablecoin strategic upgrade is another core layout. IKA's subscription has driven Gate's USD1 position to surge by 170 million dollars within 72 hours, ranking it second among centralized exchanges worldwide.

In the future, USD1 will be upgraded from a subscription tool to an ecological base currency: covering trading pairs (BTC/USD1 price difference narrowing to 0.1%), lending collateral, and other scenarios. Glassnode predicts that by 2026, exchange stablecoin holdings will exceed $200 billion, and Gate is proactively building a trading-staking-derivatives financial closed loop.

Future Outlook, Three Major Evolutionary Directions

As the market enters a high-level correction phase on August 19, the future evolution direction of Gate Launchpad becomes clearer.

• Mechanism refinement: Dual-track system or upgrade to multi-asset dynamic allocation (e.g., introduction of LST assets), time-weighted rules will increase yields in a tiered manner based on the duration of the lock-up.
• Stablecoin ecological closed loop: Utilizing the nearly 200 million USD1 fund pool subscribed by IKA, a complete ecosystem covering trading, lending, and derivatives is constructed, transforming stablecoins from speculative tools into infrastructure.
• Deep cultivation in emerging markets: Using the Middle East regulatory license as a fulcrum, combined with localized operations (such as the Dubai SPORT 3 Carnival attracting 110,000 users), to leverage incremental funds. The Middle East and Southeast Asia incremental markets will become the growth engines of the next stage.

##Future Outlook The future belongs to visionaries who transform stablecoins from speculative tools into financial infrastructure. When the market correction on August 19 triggered widespread anxiety, the ecological resilience demonstrated by Gate Launchpad was even more enlightening.

Its dual-track design avoids the volatility risk of a single asset, and the time-weighted distribution mechanism rewards long-term participants, while the fund pool formed by stablecoins is transforming into trading depth and lending liquidity.
