GateAI Full Upgrade: How the Future Strategy Development Platform Will Reshape the Crypto Trading Ecosystem?

The crypto market has entered a rational consolidation phase after Bitcoin (BTC) hit a historic high of $126,080. According to Gate Market Data, as of February 12, BTC is priced at $67,700.9 with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.06 billion. Ethereum (ETH) stands at $1,969.96, and market sentiment swings between “neutral” and “bullish.” During such cyclical phases, traditional trading tools that rely solely on market interfaces and manual order placement can no longer meet users’ demands for efficiency and win rate.

Gate began exploring artificial intelligence three years ago, with GateAI initially emerging from the simple need for “assisted trading.” Today, GateAI serves over 3 million users, executing more than 500,000 intelligent strategy orders daily. But this is not the end—GateAI is undergoing a transformation from a “tool” to a “platform.” This article will analyze GateAI’s evolution logic, future technical roadmap, and the core enabling role of GT based on Gate Market Data.

GateAI 1.0: How Does a Trading Tool Win User Trust?

In the 1.0 phase, GateAI’s core positioning is “making complex trading simple.” By analyzing on-chain data, capital flows, and order book depth through machine learning models, GateAI provides users with three basic services:

• Intelligent Signal Alerts: Identifying key support/resistance levels for BTC/ETH and capturing anomalies within 24 hours;
• Automated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss: Pre-set conditional orders based on user risk preferences;
• Trend-following Grid Trading: Automatically buying low and selling high in volatile markets.

For example, in recent market conditions: over the past 30 days, BTC price changed by -23.78%, ETH by -32.22%, and GT by -32.10%. In a bearish downtrend, GateAI’s grid strategy dynamically adjusts its range, helping some BTC trading pairs limit drawdowns to within -15%, significantly outperforming holding spot. At this stage, GateAI essentially acts as “a digital co-pilot for traders.”

GateAI 2.0: From “Co-Pilot” to “Developer Workshop”

A real turning point occurred in Q4 2025. The Gate product team observed that top-tier users were no longer satisfied with using preset strategies—they wanted to customize logic, backtest historical data, and even sell their strategies externally. This demand directly led to the planning of GateAI 2.0—a fully open strategy development platform.

The Three Core Components of the Platform

• Visual Strategy Editor: No coding required; users can drag and drop factors like KDJ, MACD, volume to generate condition combinations;
• Python SDK and API Interface: Providing local backtesting libraries and millisecond-level live trading execution channels for quant developers;
• Strategy Marketplace: Users can list their self-developed strategies for subscription or profit-sharing, with Gate taking only a minimal percentage of GT as a technical maintenance fee;
• Cloud Simulation Environment: Supports tick-level historical data playback for all cryptocurrencies from 2017 to present, preventing overfitting.

The Ecosystem Role of GT

The platform’s native token GT plays three roles in GateAI 2.0:

• Fuel Discount: Paying for strategy calls with GT grants a 30% discount on gas fees;
• Developer Deposit: Strategies must be staked with GT to ensure quality and safeguard user funds;
• Governance Weight: Users holding over 1,000 GT can participate in platform parameter voting, such as recommendation algorithm weights and fee sharing ratios.

As of February 12, 2026, GT is priced at $6.9, with a 24-hour trading volume of $792.43K and a circulating market cap of $759.29 million. According to Gate’s market forecast model, the average price of GT in 2026 may fluctuate around $6.99, driven by ecosystem empowerment in the medium to long term, with a potential price center of $14.09 by 2031. The deployment of GateAI will enable GT to capture more real-world usage scenarios.

Why Now?—Market Cycles and AI Technology Resonance

Currently, BTC’s market cap is $1.38 trillion, accounting for 55.93% of the market. Ethereum’s market cap is $252.82 billion, with a 10.04% share. The industry has moved beyond “narrative-driven” hype into a phase of refined operations. Users are no longer satisfied with “what to buy” but are more concerned with “when to buy, when to sell, and how to manage risk.”

Meanwhile, large language models and reinforcement learning are maturing in finance. GateAI 2.0 will introduce an LLM-based strategy assistant, allowing users to describe their intentions in natural language: “When BTC drops more than 5% in 24 hours and RSI is below 30, buy 20% of ETH,” and the system will automatically convert this into an executable strategy code. This interaction revolution will democratize professional quantitative capabilities for retail traders.

Strategy Outlook Based on Gate Market Data

All data below are sourced from Gate’s real-time spot and derivatives markets, for market observation only, not investment advice:

In 2026, within the expected BTC fluctuation range of $61,467.85 to $98,762.95, betting on a single direction carries high risk. The value of GateAI’s strategy platform lies precisely in its ability to extract relative returns in non-trending markets through multi-factor combinations and dynamic rebalancing. For example, constructing a “spot + futures” arbitrage strategy based on ETH’s annualized staking yield exceeding 30% and futures premiums can be set up in just three steps on the GateAI platform.

Conclusion: Empower Every Trader with Their Own “Quant Department”

The evolution of GateAI is fundamentally a movement toward trading democratization. From early conditional orders to now a full strategy development platform, Gate has always believed that the best strategies are not from a few elites but from the collective wisdom of millions of users.

In the next 12 months, GateAI will gradually open white-label strategy bundle services, institutional-grade risk control dashboards, and cross-chain strategy adapters. As the ecosystem’s blood token, GT’s value capture will no longer be limited to IEOs or fee discounts but will be deeply embedded in every strategy call, model training, and community vote.

When you see a small AI icon on Gate, remember: it’s not just a tool—it’s your gateway to strategic freedom.
