Gate founder Dr. Han releases 13th anniversary open letter: Infrastructure capabilities will be key to future competition in the crypto industry Odaily Planet Daily News: On the occasion of its 13th anniversary, Dr. Han, founder and CEO of Gate, released an open letter titled "Unleashing the Power of Change in Cycle Replacement", reviewing the platform's journey from early exploration to global development, and systematically elaborating on its judgments on industry cycles and future trends. Dr. Han pointed out that as CeFi continues to expand towards DeFi, platforms are moving from centralized trading platforms to more open ecological structures. The encryption industry is shifting from "narrative driven" to "infrastructure driven", with competition shifting from product and scale to system capabilities and structural advantages. In the next cycle, platforms with infrastructure capabilities will no longer be just market participants, but will become an important component of the rules. Dr. Han stated that Gate is gradually shifting from a builder to an industry structure shaper, continuously investing in trading depth, risk control capabilities, and global compliance systems, and synchronously laying out in areas such as RWA, TradFi, DeFi, and AI. In addition, Gate continues to promote global brand building by establishing partnerships with top international sports IPs such as F1 Red Bull Racing and Inter Milan, accelerating connections with a wider global user base. In the future, Gate will continue to focus on infrastructure capabilities and deepen investment in ecological connectivity, technological capabilities, and global systems to cope with the new stage of higher dimensional industry competition.
