In the cryptocurrency market, the burning mechanism of exchange tokens has been a key factor in affecting its value and market performance. As the core token of Gate.io, GT Stand out in the market with its unique combustion strategy and deflation model. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of GT’s combustion mechanism, its market performance, and its key role in the platform ecosystem, while exploring its future growth potential.
GT Burning in Q4 2024
According to official announcement, on-chain burn GT In the fourth quarter, 2024 has been completed. Total 2,904,885.4321514 GT Burned, valued $63.9 million. To date, a total of 177 million GT Burned, 60% of its initial total supplyIn terms of combustion scale, place it in the industry’s main projects.
Analysis of GT combustion mechanism and its impact
The core logic of the combustion mechanism
this GT The combustion mechanism is not static; it is dynamically adjusted according to market conditions and platform development. The core logic revolves around a continuous deflation strategy to reduce cyclic supply, thereby enhancing the scarcity and value of GT. The combustion mechanism can be broken down into the following stages:
GATE.IO plans to burn down GT holdings in GT insurance funds to ensure that these tokens do not enter circulation. Meanwhile, the insurance fund will be reorganized through the same value allocation of mainstream assets such as USDT, USDC, BTC and ETH to enhance its overall health and stability. This strategy not only protects user assets, but also enhances the platform’s flexibility in extreme market conditions. The initial goal of this phase is to reduce the total GT supply from approximately 133 million to below 100 million.
Once the total supply is below 100 million, Gate.io will strictly implement its commitment to the deflation strategy by setting new supply reduction targets. This deflation approach is a long-term and continuous process rather than a temporary measure associated with short-term milestones.
To support the adoption of Layer2/Layer3 scaling solutions, Gate.io is upgrading the basic architecture of Gatechain. Once completed, an on-chain automatic combustion mechanism will be introduced. Under this system, GT will act as the basic gas fee for the transaction, resulting in an increase in token combustion as the transaction volume increases.
In addition to these plans, Gate.io will closely monitor technological progress and regulatory development in the industry and continuously explore more effective deflation strategies. The platform also welcomes community participation in refining GT’s combustion strategy to promote a robust, sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem.
Impact of combustion mechanisms: cycle control and value support
GT’s combustion mechanism has had a significant impact on its market performance. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the chain combustion process was completed, with approximately 2.9 million GT combustion, worth more than $63.9 million.
Since the launch of Gatechain in 2019, GT has experienced a continuous burn, reducing the total supply by about 60% from its initial 300 million tokens. The accumulated amount of GT burning is 177,089,412.23 tokens, with a total burning value of approximately US$408,270,578. Despite volatility under market conditions, Gate.io has been enforcing its burning policy. The continuous reduction in circular supply effectively increases the scarcity of GT and provides strong support for its value.
GT price trends and market capitalization performance
Price growth track
GT’s price trajectory demonstrates its strong market performance. GT has skyrocketed over the past year 300%, exceed $17.699 December (up 20.1%). The highest price recorded is up to $25.96 (January 2025). By March 2025, GT was trading between $21.3 and $22.5, with a 60-day increase 11.44%.
Market value and ranking surge
GT’s market cap and rankings grew significantly in 2024 and 2025. At the beginning of 2024, GT’s market value was less than US$1 billion. By March 2025, it had exceeded $2.6 billion, earning positions in 50 cryptocurrencies worldwide. Currently, GT’s market value is at $2.68 billionranking Chapter 46. The sharp rise in market value and ranking reflects GT’s market recognition and its increasing importance in the cryptocurrency space.
