Gate Launchpad Future Outlook: Value Explosion Under Mechanism Innovation and Ecological Expansion
As of August 1, 2025, Gate Launchpad's third phase project IKA has set a record with a total subscription amount of $348 million, and the token price reached a high of $0.03391, with nearly 20,000 users participating. This success not only highlights the market's pursuit of innovative projects but also reveals Gate Launchpad's strategic path in transforming from a simple token distribution platform to a designer of the encryption economic system. From PFVS's 450% first-day rise, PUMP's 306 times oversubscription, to IKA's dual-track mechanism experiment, the evolution of Gate Launchpad is redefining the competitive logic of the exchange ecosystem.
##Mechanism Innovation: From Capital Aggregator to Game Designer The economic experimental value of the dual-track subscription mechanism is fully manifested in the IKA project: the differentiated design of the USD1 pool (80%) and the GT pool (20%) creates a dynamic game scenario between stablecoin users and platform token holders. Subscription data shows that the investment in the USD1 pool reached 196 million tokens (approximately 196 million USD), while the GT pool only had 5.13 million tokens (approximately 94.1 million USD), reflecting that investors are more inclined to lock in risk returns with stablecoins during market fluctuations.
The deeper breakthrough lies in the time value design of the allocation rules. IKA adopts the "hourly snapshot + proportional allocation" mechanism, allowing early participants, even with smaller amounts of funds, to gain higher allocation weight based on time priority. This rule incentivizes users to lay out their plans in advance, enabling Gate to accumulate a substantial interest-free fund pool before the project starts, significantly enhancing its liquidity control capabilities.
##Platform Token GT: The Core Carrier of Ecological Value Capture The innovative mechanism of Launchpad is empowering the platform coin GT in a reverse manner:
##The Rise of Technical Projects: From Meme Narratives to Infrastructure Value Unlike early Meme projects, IKA marks the explosion of technology-driven assets on the Launchpad. Its core value lies in addressing the fundamental pain point of cross-chain interoperability:
The launch of such projects upgrades Launchpad from a "short-term profit platform" to an "ecological infrastructure incubator," attracting traditional financial institutions and long-term capital to enter.
##Stablecoin Strategy: The Struggle for Control of Exchange Liquidity The most notable byproduct of IKA subscription is that Gate's USD1 position has jumped to second place among global exchanges (only behind Binance):
This change reveals the essential evolution of competition among exchanges: the scale of stablecoin reserves has become a key indicator of liquidity control. The large accumulation of stablecoins allows Gate to compress trading spreads (the BTC / USD1 spread has decreased to 0.1%), lower borrowing rates, and thus attract higher-frequency large transactions.
##Future Path: Compliance, Cross-chain, and Institutionalization Based on the evolutionary logic of the three-phase project, the strategic direction of Gate Launchpad is clear:
The ultimate battlefield of exchanges is not in trading depth, but in the discourse power of asset issuance rights—Gate Launchpad is quietly reconstructing the underlying rules of encryption value distribution by incorporating project parties, investors, and stablecoin issuers into a symbiotic system through mechanism design.
