PANews reported on May 20th that, according to a recent video interview with Cointelegraph, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that the crypto industry is gradually shifting from a speculative-driven market to a phase focused on infrastructure development and real-world applications. Dr. Han pointed out that stablecoins, RWA, AI, and asset tokenization are becoming core directions for the industry, while a clearer regulatory framework (such as the CLARITY Act) is expected to further promote DeFi, payments, and on-chain financial innovation.

Dr. Han also noted that high user entry barriers, security risks, and fragmented liquidity remain significant challenges facing the industry. In the future, the crypto industry will further integrate with traditional finance and play a more important role in areas such as payments, settlements, and the circulation of digital assets.

Gate continues to deepen its multi-asset and TradeFi footprint, expanding into assets such as stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities. It has also launched Pre-IPOs and listed its first project, SpaceX (SPCX). Meanwhile, as one of the first CEX platforms to integrate with Polymarket, Gate is continuously driving the development of the prediction market ecosystem and accelerating the construction of a comprehensive trading platform covering both crypto and traditional finance.
