In his remarks, Dr. Han reflected on Gate’s development from its early entry into the cryptocurrency space to its expansion through multiple market cycles and its establishment as a global platform. He highlighted the industry’s dynamic nature, emphasizing that adaptability, fast response to market trends, and progress in both technological and regulatory areas are essential for sustained growth.
“Each wave brings new opportunities, but also new challenges,” he stated, urging attendees to remain open to innovation. Dr. Han also discussed Gate’s approach to product development and ecosystem growth, outlining the company’s achievements in shaping industry standards.
When outlining future plans, Dr. Han emphasized Gate’s recent strategic initiative titled “All in Web3,” describing it as more than a technological enhancement and instead a holistic evolution in ecosystem development.
The initiative is designed to create a global, open, and cooperative framework built around blockchain technology, integrating components such as Gate Layer, Gate Perp DEX, Gate Fun, Meme Go, and Gate Web3 to support a wide range of applications.
“All in Web3 is Gate’s firm commitment to future development. Web3 is not only a technological revolution, but also a new paradigm of value reconstruction and social collaboration,” he said during the presentation. “Gate aims to be a key driver of this transformation, enabling more users to experience the infinite possibilities of Web3 in a safe and trustworthy environment,” Dr. Han added.
Gate Expands International Footprint Through Strategic Partnerships And Enhanced Compliance
Dr. Han also outlined Gate’s approach to global expansion and brand evolution, detailing the company’s efforts to strengthen its international presence and the rationale behind its rebranding to Gate.com.
He noted that Gate has advanced its global reach by forming partnerships with well-known organizations, including Oracle Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 and FC Internazionale Milano, reinforcing its visibility in international markets.
Alongside this growth, the company has continued to prioritize compliance and security by improving its risk management systems and proof-of-reserves mechanisms to maintain a transparent and trustworthy trading environment.
Several Gate entities have already obtained or completed relevant registrations, licenses, and approvals in regulatory jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and Dubai.
The recent establishment of Gate Australia marks an additional step in expanding its compliance operations and strengthening its regional presence.
Dr. Han remarked, “Our goal is to ensure that users, no matter where they are, can participate in the crypto ecosystem safely and conveniently while promoting sustainable industry development.”
The company’s ongoing international initiatives reflect its long-term strategic focus on responsible growth and brand development.
