Crypto exchange Gate.io is now processing approximately $85 billion in weekly traditional finance volume, representing a 55% jump from the prior week. This growth is primarily driven by US stock-related perpetual contracts, which account for 60-65% of total volume, with a dominance of AI-linked technology stocks and memory chip companies such as Micron and Western Digital. Monthly traditional finance volume across six major centralized exchanges grew from $3.46 billion in January 2025 to $393.15 billion in June 2026, a more than 100-fold increase over eighteen months. Gate.io captures approximately 39.4% of reported traditional finance derivatives volume among disclosing exchanges, having expanded its offerings to include stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities.
