The fluctuating situation in the Middle East has boosted safe-haven assets, with Gate's multi-asset trading system catering to institutional hedging demand.

The ongoing turmoil in the Middle East has significantly amplified global market volatility, leading to a surge in safe-haven assets such as crude oil and gold, and causing stock indices to fluctuate wildly. Market data shows that trading volume and open interest in commodity and index derivatives have remained high recently, with institutional funds accelerating their rotation across different assets and a marked increase in demand for cross-market hedging and portfolio allocation. As institutional participation continues to rise, the market is placing higher demands on trading platforms' liquidity depth, execution efficiency, and risk control capabilities, making multi-asset and institutional service capabilities core competitive advantages. Gate has built a multi-asset trading system covering metals, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities, with its core contracts such as gold and crude oil ranking among the top in the industry in terms of trading volume and open interest. According to CoinGlass data, on April 10, Gate's 24-hour Brent crude oil (XBR) contract open interest reached $4.66 million, with a trading volume of $13.52 million, both ranking first globally. Meanwhile, Gate has further improved its fund allocation and execution efficiency by connecting cross-exchange and third-party custodial over-the-counter (OES) trading through "SuperLink." Data shows that Gate's institutional assets have doubled in the past year, its transaction volume has remained among the top three in the industry, and its ability to absorb institutional funds has continued to strengthen.
