One of the more leveraged trading books in crypto is running on a reserve base worth taking a closer look.
@Gate's open interest sits at $12.5B, and derivatives make up +2x the share of trades that spot does. That much leverage raises the question: what's backing it?
Disclosed onchain reserves:
โ BTC: $1.28B
โ ETH: $709M
โ USD1: $370.5M
โ USDT (spUSDT): $108.4M
โ Other stables: $312.2M
โ DOGE: $161.3M
โ stETH: $115.7M
$GT, Gate's native token, totals $727.9M and is tracked separately.
Overall, per Gate's July 27 Proof of Reserves report, the exchange has a 117% coverage ratio across ~500 asset types, totaling $4.61 billion in clean (non-own-token) reserves.
