Gate founder: Using technology to connect CeFi and DeFi to promote the popularization of payments and stablecoins

During the WebX Summit, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han sat down with Dynamic Trends to share his twelve-year entrepreneurial journey and industry insights. Dr. Han emphasized that Gate has always prioritized security and transparency, pioneering the release of a 100% reserve certificate in 2020 and undergoing a third-party audit. Gate's reserves have steadily grown, reaching $12.02 billion by August 2025, with a total reserve ratio of 123.98% and excess reserves of $2.32 billion, firmly maintaining its industry-leading position. Regarding product strategy, Dr. Han explained that Gate has launched Gate Alpha, connecting CeFi and DeFi, providing users with convenient access to on-chain assets in a centralized environment, improving liquidity and user experience. Dr. Han also emphasized that compliance is essential for the long-term development of exchanges. Gate continues to strengthen its compliance efforts. Its global entities have obtained or completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions including Lithuania, Argentina, Malta, Italy, the Bahamas, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, China, and Dubai. Furthermore, Gate Group completed its acquisition of a licensed Japanese exchange last year, and Gate US recently obtained compliance licenses in 30 US states, bringing its coverage to 40 US jurisdictions. Regarding brand building, Gate launched a new domain, Gate.com, and partnered with the Formula 1 Red Bull Racing team to further enhance its global influence. Looking ahead, Dr. Han believes that payments and stablecoins will become mainstream application scenarios. Gate will continue to promote the implementation of payment infrastructure, integrating crypto assets into daily life, truly serving users worldwide, and playing a more significant role in the global financial system, driving the industry from an investment-driven to an application-driven phase.
