According to official news, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han, in the latest AMA interview hosted by Gate, systematically elaborated on the evolution direction of the new financial system concerning the asset pricing logic of TradFi, gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Dr. Han stated that the real turning point for the crypto industry is not the market recovery, but the financial boundaries are being redefined, with TradFi becoming the core entry point connecting traditional finance and Web3.He pointed out that as global uncertainty rises, it is driving capital to seek "cross-cycle assets" again. The strengthening of gold and silver is not a short-term market trend, but a result of the restructuring of the global risk pricing system. Bitcoin is transitioning from a speculative asset to a digital asset for allocation, and its next growth phase depends on whether it is included in the mainstream asset allocation system. "Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are essentially responding to the same era's question: how to preserve value in an uncertain world."Dr. Han emphasized that Gate's core strategy is not to chase a particular market cycle, but to create a long-term usable cross-market asset entry point to serve the long-term allocation needs under the new financial cycle.
