In the rapidly changing business world, unicorn companies are not just a symbol of valuation but a comprehensive embodiment of technology, models, and vision. Over the past 12 years, the cryptocurrency trading platform Gate.io has quietly completed a strategic upgrade from a "tool platform" to "infrastructure," growing from a small matching platform to a leading global crypto financial ecosystem.
As unicorns further break through ceilings, gaining global influence, larger user bases, and business layouts, they enter the ranks of super unicorns. Super unicorn companies not only reach valuations in the hundreds of billions but also possess the ability to change industry landscapes and lead the evolution of the next generation of technology or infrastructure.
Gate.io founder Dr. Han stated at the brand's 12th anniversary event: "We are moving towards the 'next generation super unicorn trading platform'—this is not just a leap in valuation but a comprehensive evolution of capabilities and mission."
Beyond Trading: Building the "Foundation" of the Web3 World
In Gate.io's view, future exchanges are not just intermediaries for asset circulation but super hubs connecting global digital assets and users. They need to possess five core capabilities:
· Serving billions of users: Whether novice users or professional institutions, everyone can find a customized experience;
· Supporting millions of assets: Covering mainstream coins, innovative projects, DeFi, NFTs, and even RWA (real-world asset tokenization);
· Executing billions of transactions: High-frequency trading engines ensure extreme stability and second-level matching;
· Custodying trillions in funds: Security is not just a slogan but a collective presentation of code, risk control, and culture;
· Fully compliant with global regulations: Proactively connecting with policies to empower the healthy development of the industry.
Betting on Cutting-Edge Tracks: RWA, DeFi, and Blockchain Gaming Layouts
Regarding future technological trends, Dr. Han mentioned in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph Chinese that decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain gaming (GameFi), and real-world asset tokenization (RWA) will be important growth points for the crypto industry.
Gate.io has already laid out plans in these areas: In DeFi, the platform not only continues to build its ecosystem but also supports cross-chain asset transactions, decentralized trading, and contract security through infrastructure like GateChain, actively incubating quality DeFi projects through Innovation Zones, LaunchPool, and Gate Ventures; in the blockchain gaming sector, Gate.io participates in investment incubation, selects projects, and provides support through Launchpad, LaunchPool, and NFT markets to help excellent gaming projects quickly reach global players; in the RWA field, the company is accelerating product and service innovation, focusing on the application exploration of compliant stablecoins, tokenized bonds, and tokenized commodities, and will support the circulation and popularization of real-world assets through more flexible listing and trading mechanisms in the future.
Deeply Cultivating "Niche Markets," Broadening Global Compliance Reach
Now that the market landscape has stabilized, giants like Binance and OKX dominate the main trading volume, and the trend of the strong getting stronger seems to have become a foregone conclusion. However, in this seemingly solidified landscape, Gate.io has carved out a unique path of breakthrough—entering from niche markets, deeply cultivating globally with compliance, and building an ecosystem through innovation.
Dr. Han stated in an interview with Cointelegraph Chinese: "In a rapidly evolving industry, the leading landscape is not static. I believe that only by truly understanding user needs, maintaining technological innovation, and adhering to compliance and transparency can we navigate through cycles and continuously win broader space in the global market. This is also the reason we always adhere to long-termism."
Super unicorns do not necessarily emerge under the spotlight. But they will eventually step into the center stage at the right moment.
