**[Gate Founder Dr. Han: AI Will Become the Core Competitiveness of the Next Phase of Web3]** During Consensus HK, the cryptocurrency trading platform Gate hosted a high-level networking reception, inviting over a thousand industry guests to participate. Gate's founder and CEO, Dr. Han, delivered a keynote speech titled "What's the Next Big Thing in Crypto," sharing his latest insights into the development trends of the digital asset industry. Dr. Han pointed out that the crypto market may experience a structural turning point in 2026: RWA (Real World Assets) and TradFi (Traditional Finance) assets will accelerate their on-chain migration, leading to a deep integration of traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem; AI Agents designed for Web3 will enter the practical stage, becoming critical infrastructure for enhancing interaction efficiency and asset management capabilities; simultaneously, DEX (Decentralized Exchanges), CEX (Centralized Exchanges), and AI will integrate at an accelerated pace, gradually forming unified platform models. Based on this trend, Gate continues to advance its layout around Web3 scalability and integration. While strengthening GateAI's intelligent analysis and risk control capabilities, it has completed the upgrade of its decentralized trading platform Gate DEX and expanded its TradFi product matrix, enriching multi-asset trading and allocation scenarios. Under a unified account system, Gate is accelerating the integration of CEX, DEX, and AI capabilities, reducing barriers to cross-market participation and promoting the collaborative development of traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
