Gate.io, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, will list the Block protocol token (BLOCK) on Aug 30, offering new trading pairs and increased market access. Gate.io’s extensive user base across Asia, Europe and North America is expected to drive additional liquidity for BLOCK, which currently trades on select decentralized exchanges and smaller centralized platforms.
The listing will include spot trading for the BLOCK/USDT pair, with conversion options into major stablecoins and the exchange’s native GT token. Gate.io’s advanced order types and trailing stop modules will be available to BLOCK traders from the outset. Fiat on-ramps supporting USD, EUR and KRW will enable direct purchase via credit card or bank transfer, lowering entry barriers for retail investors.
Block token, designed to incentivize liquidity provision on its layer-3 aggregation network, has seen moderate weekly volume spikes related to protocol upgrades. The Gate.io listing follows recent airdrops and governance proposal votes, where token holders approved network parameter adjustments aimed at reducing transaction fees by 15 percent. Community members anticipate that centralized exchange listings will further mainstream the token among institutional market makers and algorithmic trading desks.
Market analytics firm CryptoPulse projects that daily BLOCK/USDT volume on Gate.io could surpass $5 million within the first week, driven by arbitrage flows between exchanges. On-chain activity indicates rising smart contract interactions, with a 20 percent uptick in unique addresses transacting BLOCK over the past fortnight. Observers will track order book depth and bid-ask spreads to assess real-time market responsiveness post-listing.
