🗞️ Equity season : Gate Equity volume tops $90B in four months 2026 has been a difficult year for crypto, with the market in a bear phase that began in late 2025. Over the same period, equities kept climbing: the S&P 500 is up as much as 17% and the Nasdaq more than 26%. Naturally, some investors coming from the crypto world took the opportunity to gain exposure to equities on certain exchanges, hoping to benefit from the expansion of these markets. As a result, Gate’s equity volumes have surpassed $90 billion since the launch of Gate Stock in June 2026. That is a colossal figure for such a short period, fueled by extraordinary volumes on certain tickers that have become true global phenomena. On a 7-d sum basis, several records were broken on some assets, including : ➤ Sandisk, with a record of $12.43B, after earnings that beat expectations and the announcement of a NAND shortage. ➤ SK Hynix, which recorded more than $2.25B, driven by record revenue and a tie-up with Sandisk. ➤ SpaceX, with a peak of more than $1.54B, just a few weeks after its IPO. ➤ MU, which logged more than $600M in its best week. Today, excluding crypto, equities account for nearly 60% of the volume on Gate. Next come precious metals at 30% (more than $46B), driven by the performance of gold and silver, followed by ETFs and indices at 7%. After a slight pullback in equities in July, crypto investors seem to have made extensive use of access to these assets on Gate to chase performance in a sector that brings together the biggest companies of the moment.
