穩健,是 Gate 持續增長的核心動力。
真正的成長,不是順風順水,而是在市場低迷時依然堅定前行。我們或許能預判牛熊市的大致節奏,但絕無法精準預測它們何時到來。特別是在熊市週期,才真正考驗一家交易所的實力。
Gate 今天發布了2025年第二季度的報告。作爲內部人,看到這些數據我也挺驚喜的——用戶規模突破3000萬,現貨交易量逆勢環比增長14%,成爲前十交易所中唯一實現雙位數增長的平台,並且登頂全球第二大交易所;合約交易量屢創新高,全球化戰略穩步推進。
更重要的是,穩健並不等於守成,而是在面臨嚴峻市場的同時,還能持續創造新的增長空間。

Ethereum's new staking limit is not a risk to decentralization, says Consensys researcher
Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade doesn’t pose a threat to decentralization, according to Mallesh Pai, senior research director at blockchain software firm Consensys, describing the update as a cleanup of the behind-the-scenes “busy work” currently handled by validators.
During a May 9 Cointelegraph X Space, Pai said a validator’s chances of proposing a block or earning rewards remain tied to how much ETH they hold, adding that larger validators don’t gain any new advantages under the upgrade:
Pectra is Ethereum’s most extensive network upgrade since the Merge took place in September 2022. Pectra allows validators to stake as much as 2,048 ETH, up from the previous limit of 32 ETH. The new standard has raised community concerns about the risks of centralization on the network.
According to Pai, the Pectra upgrade has taken “a bunch of busy work that the network was doing behind the scenes and removed it.”
Pai noted that while there are about a million technical validators on Ethereum, many aren’t truly distinct — large validators often operate numerous virtual keys from a single physical machine. With the Pectra upgrade, those keys can now be consolidated — something he says they are already seeing.
“In the best case, we’ll get to about 30,000 validators,” he said, adding that this consolidation reduces auxiliary work and enables network stakeholders to focus on what matters, such as lowering gas limits.

New Pectra staking limit paves the way for institutions
The new limit could pave the way for institutions to stake ETH, according to Artemiy Parshakov, vice president of institutions at Ethereum staking service P2P.org. “EIP-7002 makes institutional staking much easier to integrate without taking too much risk.”
Ether staking within exchange-traded funds has been a hot topic in 2025. BlackRock has said that the successful Ether ETFs are less perfect without staking, and multiple financial institutions have filed for amendments to their Ether ETFs to allow for staking.
If approved, investors might be more inclined to buy into the ETFs, as they could receive yield. The SEC has yet to rule on staking amendments.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas recently forecast in a podcast interview that if staking were to be approved for Ether ETFs, it would have “a little impact” on inflows. “The bigger problem with Ethereum is performance; it just doesn’t ever go on a nice long rally.”
