Exclusive Interview with Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han by *Fortune*: Gate Money Integrates Asset Holding, Trading, and Payments, Ushering in a New Era of Unified Finance

Odaily Planet Daily News – Recently, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han was interviewed by *Fortune*, where he shared strategic insights on Gate's evolution from a cryptocurrency trading platform to an integrated financial services application. During TOKEN2049 Singapore, Gate officially launched Gate Money, with the core philosophy of “One Gate, Everything Money,” bringing together services such as fiat currency, digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, and payments on a single platform. Users in eligible regions can open global bank accounts under their names online, with future support for receiving payments in over 60 local currencies. The Gate Card bridges assets with consumption scenarios, enabling more flexible use of various assets—including fiat currency, digital assets, tokenized gold, and stocks—for everyday payments. Gate Money also supports QR code payments in certain countries and regions via local payment systems. Dr. Han stated that leveraging Gate's long-standing expertise in trading, liquidity, and asset services, Gate Money expands the scope of fund management and real-world payment scenarios. In his vision: “In users’ minds, assets are inherently a unified whole. Even if they exist in five different forms, they should be managed seamlessly within a single app.” As such, Gate Money aims to enable users to hold, trade, exchange, manage returns, and spend within a single account, while providing more options for the flow between different asset forms, rather than making decisions on behalf of users. Currently, Gate serves over 61 million users globally, spanning more than 130 countries and regions. Looking ahead to the next five years, Dr. Han anticipates the continued advancement of traditional asset tokenization and the transformative impact of AI Agents on how users manage and utilize funds. Transitioning from serving traders to addressing broader financial needs, Gate is extending its digital asset capabilities into more comprehensive financial life scenarios.
