🚀 Gate Founder Dr. Han’s 2025 Year-End Open Letter: Why Web3 Is Entering Real Life

2025 marks a defining milestone — Gate’s 12th anniversary and a turning point for Web3 maturity.
In his year-end open letter, Gate Founder & CEO Dr. Han doesn’t just recap numbers — he explains why Web3 is finally becoming real, usable, and ready for mass adoption.

📊 2025 Highlights That Matter
Gate’s growth this year wasn’t driven by hype, but by fundamentals:

🥈 #2 globally in spot trading volume, with derivatives and overall strength firmly in the Top 3 worldwide

🔐 $11.676B in total reserves, 124% reserve ratio, covering ~500 assets

🏎 Official sponsor of Oracle Red Bull Racing (F1)

⚽ Official sleeve sponsor of Inter Milan, bringing crypto closer to mainstream audiences

These achievements reflect Gate’s long-term commitment to security, transparency, and global credibility — not short-term market cycles.

🌐 2025: The Year Web3 Became “Real”
Dr. Han highlights a crucial shift:

Web3 is no longer confined to developer circles — it’s entering real-world scenarios.

Key trends accelerating this transition:

On-chain infrastructure becoming faster and more stable

Cross-chain barriers gradually disappearing

AI actively participating in trading, data analysis, and risk management

Crypto payments moving closer to everyday usage

Capital focusing more on platform resilience and transparency, not just price action

This signals a structural change — Web3 is evolving from speculation into a foundational digital economy layer.

🧱 Gate’s “All in Web3” Strategy Explained

Gate’s approach is clear:
Web3 should integrate into life, not force users to understand it.
In 2025, Gate invested heavily in:

🧩 Infrastructure & Layer 2 development (Gate Layer)

🔄 Seamless on-chain ↔ off-chain integration

🛡 Security, proof-of-reserves, and risk control

🌍 Global compliance across Dubai, Europe, and Australia

👥 Building a diverse, global, long-term-focused team

These are quiet upgrades — but they’re what allow platforms to survive cycles.

🔮 Looking Toward 2026: Web3 Without Friction

Dr. Han’s vision for 2026 is bold yet practical:

One app connecting trading, DeFi, payments, asset management, and real-world spending

No need to “learn Web3” — it should work invisibly

Users fully controlling assets, decisions, and financial freedom

A mature Web3 doesn’t make life more complex — it gives people more freedom.

🧠 Final Take
Gate’s 2025 journey shows that long-term builders win quietly.

Instead of chasing speed, Gate chose:

Stability over noise

Infrastructure over narratives

Trust over hype

As Web3 moves from theory to everyday reality, Gate positions itself not just as an exchange — but as a gateway to a complete digital economic lifestyle.

2026 won’t be about who’s fastest.
It will be about who’s ready.
And Gate is clearly preparing for that future.
