On the occasion of Gate's 13th anniversary, Founder and CEO Dr. Han released an open letter titled "Releasing the Power of Transformation Through Cycles", reflecting on the platform's journey from early exploration to global expansion, and outlining his views on industry cycles and future trends.

Dr. Han pointed out that as CeFi continues to extend toward DeFi, platforms are evolving from centralized trading vehicles into more open ecological structures. The crypto industry is shifting from being "narrative-driven" to "infrastructure-driven", with the focus of competition moving from product and scale to systemic capabilities and structural advantages. In the next cycle, platforms equipped with infrastructure capabilities will no longer be mere market participants; they will become integral components of the industry's rules.

Dr. Han stated that Gate is transitioning from a builder to an industrial architect, consistently investing in liquidity depth, risk control capabilities, and global compliance systems. Simultaneously, the platform is strategically positioning itself across RWA, TradFi, DeFi, and AI. In addition, Gate continues to advance global brand building and accelerates its connection with a broader global user base by establishing partnerships with top international sports IPs such as the Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1 and Inter.

Moving forward, Gate will continue to build around its infrastructure capabilities, deepening its investment in ecosystem connectivity, technical proficiency and globalized systems, to navigate the next stage of higher-dimensional industry competition.
