Trust plus one: Gate proves itself with data

In the crypto community, everyone understands a principle:
Don't listen to what they say, look at how full their wallets are.
I recently went through Gate's latest reserve report, and the results were a bit unexpected.
Not only are the numbers impressive, but they have also rolled the technical details to the forefront of the industry.

Technical aspect: Don't just say "we have money", you need to prove it.

Gate uses a dual proof scheme of "Merkle Tree + zk-SNARKs".
Simply put:
Merkle Tree ensures that every user's assets can be verified;
zk-SNARKs can prove the authenticity of data without revealing privacy.
This is much more reliable than the kind of "I say I have money, do you believe it?" model.
In an industry that values trust, this step is actually very critical.

Reserve Fund Trend: The numbers are steadily increasing.

I reviewed their data from the past year and found an interesting change:
March 2024: Total reserves approximately $6.1 billion, reserve ratio 115.49%.
May 2025: Reserves increase to $10.8 billion, reserve ratio rises to 128.57%.
August 2025: Reserve ratio 123.98%, total reserves approaching 12 billion USD.
In other words, they not only have enough, but they also have a significant amount more than user assets.
For the exchange, this is equivalent to adding another layer of protective netting on the roof.

Mainstream cryptocurrencies: There are indeed many more places to grow.

This part is crucial for us ordinary users.
After all, most people's wallets contain BTC, ETH, and USDT.
Gate's data is as follows:
BTC reserve rate 133% (users 18536.99 coins, Gate owns 24833 coins).
ETH and USDT both increased by about 18.74% - 25.93%.
In other words, even in extreme market situations, their backup warehouse can hold up.
This shows that they indeed prioritize security.

Coverage: Not only caring for "big holders" coins.

What reassures me even more is that the variety of assets guaranteed by Gate is increasing.
from 189 kinds in March 2024,
Increased to over 400 by August 2025.
As a "flexible player," in addition to BTC and ETH, I also buy some potential coins.
If the platform only supports mainstream coins, aren't other positions left exposed?
So seeing that Gate has considered this aspect as well, it really adds a lot of points.

My view: The attitude of taking one more step is what impresses me the most.

In the crypto world, we all know that there is no platform with "zero risk."
Prices will fluctuate, and the market will change; this is a consensus in the industry.
But precisely because of this, I care more about who is willing to take an extra step.
Gate not only meets the "passing line" but actively uses excess reserves and advanced technology to push transparency to the extreme.
It doesn't rely on slogans, but rather uses real money to earn trust.
In my opinion, this is what a responsible platform should look like.
In this uncertain world, let trust be enhanced by one more point.
