Gate CEO Reveals Bold Vision: Transforming 30M Users Into the Ultimate ’Next-Gen Crypto Exchange’
Gate.io isn't playing small ball—its CEO just laid out plans to leapfrog legacy crypto exchanges. With 30 million users already onboard, the platform's gunning for pole position in the next wave of digital asset trading.
The 30M User Springboard
That massive user base isn't just a vanity metric—it's rocket fuel for Gate's infrastructure overhaul. The exchange is rebuilding its engine while the plane's already airborne.
Next-Gen or Buzzword Bingo?
The 'next-generation' claim raises eyebrows—most crypto exchanges still struggle with basic order matching during volatility. But Gate's betting its tech stack can outpace competitors still counting fees with abacuses.
One thing's certain: in crypto's wild west, today's disruptor becomes tomorrow's relic faster than a Bitcoin maximalist changes their thesis.
A “next-generation crypto exchange”
Gate is now one of the world's top three exchanges by trading volume and liquidity, with Dr. Han stressing such healthy levels of adoption don't happen by chance: "It comes from consistently delivering secure, efficient, and user-centric products."
As part of its vision to become a "next-generation crypto exchange," Gate has been building a full ecosystem of products—and blending the innovation of Web3 with the "safety and speed" of a centralized platform.
"We also launched Gate Wallet as a unified asset hub, combining trading, staking, strategy tools, and even NFT management into one secure interface," Dr. Han said. "Beyond that, our Earn products, like Launchpool and HODLer Airdrop, are designed to reward participation with minimal complexity. These are not just products; they are onramps for new users and tools for long-term engagement."
Dr. Han added he’s looking forward to opportunities and innovations that will define the years to come. In the short term, top priorities include building upon the launch of Gate Wallet Touch, a secure hardware card that helps users protect their assets. Compliance is also a key focal point for Gate Group, with the company recently obtaining a VASP license in Dubai and acquiring the Japanese exchange Coin Master.
"We’re strengthening our presence in key global markets to ensure more users can engage with crypto safely and legally," he said.
Future horizons
For Dr. Han, Gate’s future growth will build on the three pillars of “deeper regional engagement, product innovation, and ecosystem partnerships." Localization is particularly important, he added, because users “want products that reflect their language, regulatory environment, and financial habits."
Over the next decade, Dr. Han believes "regulation, AI and real-world integration" will dominate discussion. Artificial intelligence is already transforming how users engage with financial systems—with the CEO predicting tokenization and decentralized identities are "major themes that will pull crypto further into mainstream finance."
Whatever happens, he said, Gate is ready to onboard the next 30 million users—and back startups that push the boundaries of blockchain technology.
