On the evening of November 20th, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han delivered a keynote speech at the Gate Europe Exclusive VIP Dinner in Malta, where he shared the platform’s global strategic roadmap and insights on industry developments. In his talk, Dr. Han reflected on Gate’s evolution since its founding in 2013, explained how the company has built a global cryptocurrency ecosystem based on three core principles of transparency, security, and compliance, and provided a detailed outlook for future growth.
12 years of global expansion
Dr. Han pointed out that since its founding in 2013, Gate has evolved from a small early-stage team to a global cryptocurrency ecosystem platform. Starting with spot trading as its core business and driven by user demand and continuous innovation, the platform has gradually developed a stable and reliable trading infrastructure and expanded it into a Web3 product system covering trading, storage, payments, on-chain services and a wide range of ecosystem products. Today, Gate operates a comprehensive ecosystem spanning trading, storage, payments, and on-chain services. He emphasized that this development not only reflects Gate’s long-term commitment to technological innovation, but also its strategic plans in expanding its global market and diversifying its services. Through these efforts, Gate provides users around the world with secure, efficient, and comprehensive crypto asset management solutions.
Global brand partnerships: Strengthening your international presence
Dr. Han highlighted Gate’s strategic partnerships with world-famous brands such as F1’s Oracle Red Bull Racing and FC Internazionale Milano. These collaborations have significantly strengthened Gate’s international brand recognition and further solidified its position as a leader in the global cryptocurrency market. By collaborating with top global partners, Gate continues to bring its innovation and ecosystem vision to a broader audience, increasing user trust and industry awareness.
Industry Insights: Cryptocurrency Market Growth and Opportunities
According to Dr. Han, the cryptocurrency industry has undergone major changes in recent years. Regulatory frameworks in many regions are moving from uncertainty to clarity, traditional financial institutions are accelerating their participation in the market, and cryptocurrency payments, investment products, and financial applications are becoming more prevalent. He emphasized that the size of the virtual currency market today is much larger than it was 10 years ago, and Bitcoin has grown from a few dollars to become the world’s mainstream asset, ranking among the world’s top 10 by market capitalization.
Over the past 12 years, Bitcoin’s value has increased thousands of times and the number of cryptocurrency users has grown from 1 million to more than 670 million. This is an unusual increase that highlights the importance of crypto assets in long-term investment allocations. Dr. Han pointed out that while this rapid expansion provides the industry with enormous opportunities for innovative projects and next-generation financial applications, it also requires platforms to have higher technological capabilities and stronger risk management frameworks.
Industry challenges: security, transparency and regulatory compliance
Despite strong market potential, Dr. Han acknowledged that the cryptocurrency industry still faces significant challenges such as security risks, transparency concerns, risk management, and regulatory compliance. Gate remains focused on addressing these core issues and has built its strategic response around three pillars: transparency, technology, and compliance. Gate aims to maintain stable and sustainable growth in a rapidly changing market by strengthening its security infrastructure, increasing operational transparency, and expanding global regulations.
Transparency Framework: 100% Proof of Reserves
From a transparency perspective, Gate offers 100% Proof of Reserve (PoR) using zero-knowledge proof-of-reserve technology and features full open-source validation that allows users around the world to independently verify assets under custody. Dr. Han said that Gate’s assets under custody exceed US$10 billion and continue to grow steadily. He emphasized that open source transparency not only strengthens user trust, but also sets the standard for transparent operations across the industry.
Technical capabilities: Unique security infrastructure
In terms of security, Gate has built its own custodial infrastructure, cold-hot wallet architecture, security model, and risk management system. All core modules are independently developed by Gate to ensure platform reliability and protection of user assets. Dr. Han said that the unique technology allows Gate to provide a stable and efficient trading experience while providing stronger protection against market volatility and potential risks.
Expanding compliance: Licensing across multiple jurisdictions
In terms of compliance, Gate Technology Ltd., part of Gate Group, has secured a MiCA license from the Malta Financial Services Authority to provide crypto asset exchange and custody services to its customers. Various gate entities have obtained or completed regulatory registrations, licenses, licenses and approvals across various jurisdictions such as Malta, Bahamas, Japan, Australia and Dubai. Dr. Han emphasized that Gate actively cooperates with regulatory authorities around the world to promote a healthy and stable industrial environment and provide reliable protection measures to its users and partners. He said the comprehensive global compliance structure not only supports Gate’s long-term operations, but also ensures a safe and reliable environment for users around the world.
Global talent strategy: Driving innovation through expertise
Dr. Han highlighted Gate’s commitment to a global talent strategy of actively attracting top talent from the cryptocurrency and technology fields. He encouraged individuals with innovative thinking and a global perspective to join Gate to build the future of the crypto ecosystem. This people-driven approach strengthens Gate’s capabilities across technology development, product innovation, and operational excellence, ultimately delivering higher quality services to users.
Looking to the future: stability, innovation, and a unified global ecosystem
In his keynote address, Dr. Han outlined Gate’s strategic blueprint for a globally integrated crypto ecosystem and reiterated the company’s development philosophy centered around transparency, security, and compliance. He reaffirmed that Gate will continue to advance technological innovation, ecosystem expansion, and regulatory alignment to provide users with secure, efficient, and transparent crypto asset services. Gate aims to build a unified global ecosystem, set industry benchmarks for sustainable growth, and contribute to a more mature and resilient global cryptocurrency market.
