Web3 The viewpoint that "the on-chain global ecosystem is an upgrade of the exchange and an evolution of future finance" emphasizes the importance of decentralized, global trading and the collaborative development of the on-chain ecosystem, providing a new perspective for the future development of exchanges. He stated that Gate will take "All in Web3" as its core strategy and comprehensively layout the on-chain global ecosystem.
Gate comprehensively布局 Web3, promoting the upgrade of the cryptocurrency trading ecosystem.
Since its establishment in 2013, Gate has been committed to integrating centralized exchange (CEX) and decentralized exchange (DEX) services, continuously pushing the boundaries in innovative technology and globalization strategies. Today, Gate has developed into one of the world’s top cryptocurrency trading platforms, offering diversified services including trading, wallets, custody, and payments, with over 39 million users on the platform. Its spot trading volume ranks second globally, while its contract trading volume is among the top four worldwide, with total custody assets exceeding $12 billion. In recent years, Gate has also become the official sponsor of the F1 Red Bull Racing team and Inter Milan, further solidifying its global brand influence. Dr. Han emphasized that Gate’s adherence to innovative technology, user experience, and global compliance layout over the years is key to its sustained growth and global impact.
DEX technological breakthroughs, on-chain trading efficiency improvements
In the past, DEX was limited by blockchain performance bottlenecks, making it difficult to compete with CEX. However, in recent years, there have been significant breakthroughs in industry technology. Dr. Han pointed out that while CEX is fully functional, DEX has irreplaceable advantages, especially in terms of transparency, self-control, and low-cost rapid token issuance. The rise of DEX has provided important momentum for Gate’s Web3 strategy, and its on-chain transaction performance has reached 700,000 transactions per second, surpassing the speed of traditional exchanges and some stock markets in certain scenarios. At the same time, user experience has been greatly optimized, evolving from the early complex wallet operations to today’s one-stop tools like Gate Wallet and MetaMask, allowing users to easily access Web3.
Dr. Han further explained that the value of DEX is not only reflected in its technical performance but also in the innovation of user experience and usage patterns. Through the on-chain system, users can fully control their assets, with all balances, transactions, and order data being publicly verifiable, achieving a high degree of transparency. Users can operate their wallets and assets at any time without third-party approval, thus obtaining a completely autonomous management experience. At the same time, DEX provides low-threshold token issuance capabilities, allowing any user to complete token issuance in minutes and gain immediate access to liquidity and trading ecosystems without the need for a professional team or paying high listing fees. This convenience and autonomy are not fully provided by centralized exchanges. These advantages not only enhance the user experience but also promote the rapid development of on-chain asset trading and innovative projects.
TVL is gradually catching up with CEX, and DEX is accelerating the reshaping of the industry landscape.
The number of global crypto users has increased from about 1 million in 2013 to nearly 700 million, with a penetration rate reaching 10% of the global population. At the same time, the number of active users and trading volume of DEX continues to rise, with its total value locked (TVL) approaching that of CEX by 2025, and it is expected to surpass it soon. In terms of token issuance, DEX platforms can issue more than 15,000 tokens daily, with an annual total issuance exceeding 10 million, making it the preferred issuance channel for new projects. In terms of trading volume, the DEX market share is about 25%, but the actual proportion may be close to 50%, with contract trading and swap trading also showing a rapid growth trend. Hyperliquid, PancakeSwap and Solana The active performance of platforms like this further validates the market potential of DEX. Dr. Han stated that this trend shows DEX has become an indispensable part of the crypto trading ecosystem, providing a solid foundation for Gate’s comprehensive entry into Web3.
Gate’s innovative product matrix leads the development of the on-chain ecosystem.
To meet the growing market demand, Gate has launched a brand new Web3 platform web3.Gate.com, building a diversified product matrix covering both on-chain and off-chain. The high-performance Layer 2 blockchain developed by Gate can process over 5,700 transactions per second, with block generation taking only 1 second, and transaction fees far lower than most existing Layer 2 networks, providing low-cost and highly scalable underlying support for decentralized applications. Gate Perp DEX offers decentralized perpetual contract trading to global users, featuring deep liquidity and a high-performance matching engine, balancing transparency and trading efficiency.
In addition, Gate has launched Gate Meme Go to discover and track popular Meme tokens on the chain, helping users quickly capture community hotspot trends; Gate Fun is the first on-chain launch platform for Meme tokens on the Gate Layer, supporting zero-code token issuance and full-process token lifecycle management; Wrapped Assets such as GTBTC and GTETH provide cross-chain asset solutions, currently managing an asset scale of over 1.2 billion dollars. This series of products jointly builds a complete on-chain ecosystem, not only meeting the innovative needs of creators but also providing users with a safe, compliant, transparent, and efficient all-scenario experience, while offering developers a rich space for innovation.
Global compliance strategy ensures secure operations, with multi-jurisdictional licenses covering major markets.
Compliance is the core support of Gate’s strategy. Multiple entities under Gate Group have obtained or completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, Italy, the Bahamas, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia. In April of this year, Gate Technology FZE, a subsidiary, obtained a VASP license under the regulation and supervision of Dubai VARA, including the Dubai VARA license, and will launch a trading platform supporting the local fiat currency AED; in Europe, Gate’s Maltese company Gate Technology Ltd has obtained a MiCA license under the supervision of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), simultaneously initiating the EU passporting mechanism process, and will continue to expand its local compliance layout. Dr. Han stated that a comprehensive global compliance layout not only ensures that Gate provides safe and reliable trading services in various regions but also builds a stable and sustainable operating environment for users and partners, laying a solid foundation for Gate’s long-term development in the global market.
Looking ahead, accelerate the implementation of the All in Web3 strategy.
Dr. Han emphasized that Gate will continue to focus on "All in Web3" as its core strategy, combining cutting-edge innovative technology, global compliance layout, and optimized user experience to promote the crypto trading ecosystem into a new stage of development. Gate will provide users with efficient, safe, and transparent one-stop Web3 services through a unified brand and global operations, realizing the global ecological vision of "One World, One Gate," while creating a comprehensive and reliable on-chain experience for traders and developers.
