GT · an exchange token that buys itself back and burns it — supply keeps shrinking.
GT is the platform and gas token of Gate on GateChain — ~106.5M circulating of a heavily-burned supply (down from an original 300M) with no protocol mint, so nothing is inflated into existence.
Sell pressure. No mint, no vesting, no bankruptcy — nothing new reaches the market. About 12.3M GT sits outside the float in locked allocations, next unlock dated 2030.
Buy pressure. A quarterly buyback-and-burn removes GT from the market — 5.13M GT destroyed across two rounds in the window (Jul 6 2026: 2.57M), lifting cumulative burns to ~189.9M GT.
Net. About −2.4% next 90 days — supply is shrinking, durably deflationary by buyback.

GT has no protocol mint — nothing is issued into the float. GateChain uses GT as its gas token, but gas is burned, not printed, so no new GT is inflated into existence.
GT is an exchange token with no seed, team or investor vesting calendar — there is no scheduled unlock cliff reaching the market in the window.
About 12.3M GT sits outside the circulating float (total 118.7M vs 106.5M circulating) in locked team, treasury and community allocations plus a burn-only reserve, with the next scheduled unlock dated 2030 — no dated release reaches the market in the window. A tracked, monitored overhang. No public evidence of release in window — monitored.
No bankruptcy estate or court-ordered distribution applies to GT.
Gate's quarterly buyback-and-burn — ~20% of platform profit repurchases GT from the open market and sends it to a burn address. Two rounds fell in the window: 2,557,729 GT on Apr 27 2026 and 2,570,063 GT on Jul 6 2026, ~5.13M GT destroyed. Cumulative burned is ~189.9M GT, about 63% of the original 300M supply. Next round (~2.57M GT) is expected early Oct 2026.
There is no separate transaction fee-burn line for GT — the only burn mechanism is the profit-funded buyback in Buy #1.
Gate's only market purchase of GT is the buyback program already counted in Buy #1 — there is no separate discretionary buy to book.
No new multi-year lock, escrow or staking cap was announced in the window — monitored.
