Founder of Gate: Use technology to connect CeFi and DeFi, promote the popularization of payments and stablecoins

Odaily Planet Daily News During the WebX Summit, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han gave an exclusive interview to Dongli, sharing his twelve-year entrepreneurial journey and industry observations. Dr. Han stressed that Gate always focuses on security and transparency, and was the first to release a 100% reserve certificate in 2020 and accept third-party audits. The scale of Gate reserves has grown steadily. As of August 2025, the total scale of platform reserves reached US$12.02 billion, with a total reserve ratio of 123.98%, and the excess reserves reached US$2.32 billion, firmly ranking in the industry's leading position. In terms of product strategy, Dr. Han said that Gate launched Gate Alpha to connect CeFi and DeFi, helping users to easily access on-chain assets in a centralized environment and improve liquidity and experience. Dr. Han pointed out that compliance is a must-answer question for the long-term development of the exchange. Gate continues to deepen its compliance layout, and its global entities have obtained or completed relevant regulatory registration, license application, authorization or approval in jurisdictions such as Lithuania, Argentina, Malta, Italy, the Bahamas, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, China and Dubai. In addition, Gate Group completed its acquisition of a Japanese licensed exchange last year, and Gate US has recently obtained a compliance license in 30 states in the United States, covering 40 U.S. jurisdictions. In terms of brand building, Gate has launched the new domain name Gate.com and joined hands with the F1 Red Bull 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, allowing crypto assets to enter daily life, truly serve global users, and play a more important role in the global financial system, and promote the industry to move from investment-driven to application-driven new stage.
