Having been in the crypto space for over ten years, I have witnessed the rise and fall of many exchanges. Today, I checked the latest rankings on CoinDesk and would like to share my thoughts.

In the spot exchange rankings, Gate is ranked 9th. It may not seem very prominent, but remember, this is a list of the top centralized exchanges worldwide. What surprised me even more is that in the derivatives exchange rankings, Gate has already climbed to 4th place, indicating its influence in the futures market is steadily increasing.

Looking back over the past decade, from initially only knowing a few major exchanges to now seeing Gate hold a position among global exchanges, I feel quite emotional. Many veteran users, like myself, have watched it evolve from an obscure platform into an exchange with growing trading volume and improved services.

I believe this steady upward trend shows that Gate's risk control, security, and user experience are continuously being optimized, especially evident in its performance in the derivatives market. For us long-time users, it's quite gratifying to see a domestic exchange achieve such results on the global leaderboard.

Whether you're a spot trader or a futures trader, Gate's growth is worth paying attention to. I hope it can maintain this upward momentum in the future, allowing more users to experience safe, stable, and professional trading services.
