Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han featured in an interview with The Economist: Gate accelerates the construction of multi-asset financial infrastructure

According to the latest report from The Economist Enterprise, after 13 years of development and multiple strategic upgrades, Gate is gradually expanding from a traditional cryptocurrency trading platform to a comprehensive financial infrastructure that connects digital assets with traditional financial markets. The report points out that as more traditional financial products such as stocks, ETFs, tokenized assets, foreign exchange, and metals enter the digital asset ecosystem, Gate is further bridging the gap between crypto finance and TradFi through multi-asset product layouts and global infrastructure development. Gate's founder and CEO Dr. Han stated in an exclusive interview that as the industry develops, digital asset platforms are facing not only technical issues but also risk management, user protection, and industry regulation.

In terms of TradFi integration, Gate has formed a multi-layered layout from tokenized assets and derivatives to native stock trading, launching products and services such as xStocks, Ondo, Gate TradFi, Pre-IPOs, direct IPOs, and Gate Stocks. Among these, Gate Stocks has supported trading of U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean stocks, significantly lowering the barriers for global users to participate in traditional financial markets. At the same time, Gate is continuously improving its around-the-clock trading and liquidity infrastructure to meet the needs of global users for cross-market asset allocation.

The Economist Enterprise also points out that as the digital asset market further moves towards institutionalization, compliance, transparency, and infrastructure capability are becoming important components of platform competition. Gate continues to advance its global compliance layout across multiple jurisdictions and has been providing third-party audits and open-source proof of reserves since 2020. In addition, Gate is introducing AI infrastructure into Web3, connecting AI with trading, wallets, and more services through products like Gate AI, Gate MCP, and GateClaw, promoting the platform's evolution from a traditional trading venue to a comprehensive financial infrastructure that connects digital assets, traditional finance, and AI applications.
