Up 65% in 90 Days: GateToken (GT)’s Comeback Amidst Crypto Winter
In the cryptocurrency market, volatility is inevitable. Currently, many cryptocurrencies are under pressure from the general downtrend, especially Bitcoin (BTC) which has dropped 15% in the past 90 days. Of the top 100 tokens by market capitalization, only 17 have recorded positive returns, with very few having significant growth.
However, in the midst of these difficult times, GateToken (GT) has made an impressive 65% increase, making it one of the few tokens with strong growth performance. GT has not only stood out with its bullish momentum but has also attracted the attention of investors and market participants.
GT’s performance is the result of a combination of different factors. This article will analyze in detail the factors that make GT stand out, from its ecosystem, technology to market strategy, and compare GT with other exchange tokens to provide an overview for investors and experts.
BTC's decline and GT's prominence
The cryptocurrency market is generally in a downtrend, but GT has bucked the trend. According to data from CoinMarketCap, GT has grown by 65% in the past 90 days, ranking in the top 10 tokens in terms of performance among the 100 largest coins.
Compared to Bitcoin's 15% decline, GT's performance is even more remarkable. GT's annual growth exceeds 300%, with a peak of $25,960 in January 2025. As of March 2025, GT is trading between $21.3 and $22.5, demonstrating its strength and stability in a volatile market.
GT's Strong Resilience
GT has not only grown strongly but also demonstrated stability and resilience to market fluctuations. One of GT's main strengths is its persistence in both trading volume and price stability.
Technically, the GateChain network completed its mainnet upgrade in 2024, with new strategies for gas mechanism and token burning program. These changes reduce the total supply of GT, increasing its scarcity and long-term value potential.
In the ecosystem, GT continues to play an important role with many utilities such as transaction fee discounts, VIP benefits, staking rewards, and on-chain governance. These applications ensure stable demand for GT, helping it maintain its momentum even when the market is negative.
A strong ecosystem drives growth
GT has seen strong growth within the Gate.io ecosystem, helping to drive growth in the number of global users. As of March 2025, Gate.io's user base has surpassed 21 million, an impressive number in the cryptocurrency market.
GateChain is constantly expanding its multi-chain support, with more than 199 public chains and 54 million new addresses in 2024. These upgrades facilitate the strong integration of GT into the Web3 ecosystem and decentralized applications.
Increasing scarcity, increasing GT value
An important factor that helps GT maintain its growth momentum is the continuous token burning mechanism, which reduces the circulating supply and increases GT's scarcity. Since 2019, GT’s total supply has been reduced by approximately 60%, creating an effective deflationary environment and helping to consolidate its market value.
In Q4 2024, GT completed the burn of over 2.9 million tokens, equivalent to over $63.9 million. To date, a total of 177 million GT have been burned, an impressive number among exchange tokens.
Directly competing with BNB and OKB
GT is currently competing with big names such as Binance Coin (BNB) and OKB in the race to dominate the cryptocurrency market. Although GT’s market capitalization is smaller than BNB, it still has its own competitive advantages thanks to its continuous innovation strategy and rapid expansion in the ecosystem.
Conclusion
GT’s strong growth amid the market downturn shows its impressive resilience and long-term potential. With its growing ecosystem, scarcity mechanism and innovative strategies, GT is becoming one of the most valuable tokens in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. As the market continues to grow, GT may play an increasingly important role, attracting more users and investors.
