Gate burns GT every quarter. Few new coins come in.
GT is the coin of the Gate exchange and its GateChain: 104.68M coins circulate, 89.5% of all that exist. Gate buys GT back and burns it every quarter.
Sell pressure. The only new supply is the chain's block reward: 102,987 GT in 90 days. Trackers list 1.5M GT unlocking monthly, but those coins already count as circulating.
Buy pressure. Gate burned 1,987,321 GT on Oct 4 2026. The next burn, about 2.15M GT, is expected by early January.
Net. Net, supply shrank about 1.80% in 90 days, and about 1.95% next.
GateChain creates 0.4 new GT in every block to pay the validators who run it, and a block comes about every 30 seconds. That made 102,987 new GT in these 90 days, about 1,144 a day. About 8.86M GT have been created this way since 2019, out of a 30M pool.
Unlock trackers still list 1.5M GT opening on the 26th of every month until July 2030, from GT's 2019 plan. We find no locked wallet behind it: the only GT not counted as circulating is the 12.25M frozen reserve, and it did not move in these 90 days. So any coins that open are already counted, and they add no new supply.
Gate's frozen reserve holds 12.25M GT and did not move in these 90 days. It refilled Gate's burn wallet twice this year: 15.18M GT on Jan 20 2026 and 2.57M GT on Jul 4 2026, one hour after that quarter's burn and the same size. Gate says the reserve is settled in line with the burns, but the Apr 26 and Oct 4 2026 burns were not matched, so there is no set date. If the 1.99M GT from the Oct 4 burn is refilled, it counts here. Gate's burn wallet (10.63M GT) is already counted as circulating.
No estate, trustee or long lock is releasing GT. The 52.40M GT held in the bridge lock on Ethereum backs GT that already moves on GateChain, so it is the same coins seen on two chains, not a second pile.
Every quarter Gate buys GT back and sends it to a burn address no one can spend from. The Q3 2026 burn on Oct 4 2026 sent 1,987,321 GT there, worth about $22.35M. The burns have come every two to three and a half months, so we expect the next one by early January 2027: the same $22.35M at today's price is about 2.15M GT. In total 191.93M GT, 64% of the first 300M, has now been burned.
GateChain destroys a small part of each fee, about 97 GT in these 90 days, so it barely counts. Fees on Gate Layer go to the network's fee wallets and are not burned.
Apart from the quarterly burn above, nothing shows Gate buying GT to keep. A second buyback round was mentioned in September 2026 with no size and no wallet, so it books nothing until coins move.
About 39.90M GT is staked with GateChain validators. Staked GT still counts as circulating and can be withdrawn, so staking takes nothing out of the float.
Two sides: how much people want GT right now, and how much buying could come later.
It shows how hot GT is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about GT for one reason:
Gate published a new proof of reserves on Oct 21 2026, with numbers taken on Oct 18 2026. It shows $8.688 billion in reserves, up 5.7% from the last report, and a reserve ratio of 118.49%, up from 117.26%. People ask if strong reserves can help GT, which still trades near $10.

Gate (GT) is deflationary right now: its supply changes −1.95% over the next 90 days and −7.81% over the next year (checked Oct 15 2026). More GT is removed than added.
About −7.81% a year: that is how much Gate (GT) supply changes over the next 12 months, with −1.95% in the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026).
No dated Gate (GT) unlock is scheduled in the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026). New GT still arrives: about 103K GT in 90 days.
Yes. In our count, about 2.15M GT is expected to leave the market over the next 90 days through burns, buybacks or locks (checked Oct 15 2026). How it works: Gate's quarterly burn: 1.99M GT on Oct 4 2026, about 2.15M GT ($22.35M at today's price) expected by early January.
In our count, about 103K new GT reaches the market over the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026). How it works: 0.4 GT per GateChain block (about 103K GT a quarter); a 12.25M GT frozen reserve can refill the burns.
About 105M GT is in circulation (checked Oct 15 2026). Over the next 90 days that changes −1.95%, and over a year −7.81%.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand shows how much people want the coin. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss. GT supply is not growing (-1.95% in the next 90 days), so it shows in green. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
