**[Gate C2C Merchant Margin Investment Function Launch Announcement]** Gate C2C is about to launch the "Merchant Margin Investment" feature, which will further enhance the efficiency of merchants' fund utilization. Through this feature upgrade, the margin frozen on the platform will be connected to the platform's investment services, ensuring fund security while achieving steady growth. This feature not only improves the flexibility and value of funds but also helps merchants achieve higher fund utilization rates in daily operations. The platform will continue to optimize the merchant service system to create an efficient and secure trading environment. **Feature Highlights** - **Idle Fund Growth**: Margin funds will enjoy a base interest rate, helping merchants maximize the value of their funds. - **Real-Time Earnings Display**: Daily earnings are automatically credited to the spot account, clear and transparent. - **Flexible and Secure Funds**: Supports redemption at any time, unaffected when used for merchant withdrawal or compensation. **Key Rules** - Only supports "full subscription" or "full redemption," limited to once per day (reset at UTC+0 00:00). - Interest accrues starting from the next hourly mark after successful subscription, with earnings distributed the following day. - After redeeming funds, interest will no longer accrue for that period, and the funds will return to the margin account. - Only active merchants can participate; merchants with abnormal status will be unable to subscribe. The current feature is in the testing phase and temporarily available only to select invited merchants. After the testing phase, it will be open to all merchants. Please stay tuned for subsequent announcements regarding the specific launch date. **Distribution Method** Investment earnings will be automatically credited to merchants' spot accounts as "C2C Merchant Margin Investment Interest" and can be used at any time. Thank you to all merchants for your long-term trust and support of Gate C2C. We will continue to optimize product features to help merchants conduct transactions efficiently and securely. **Gate Team** September 26, 2025
