PANews reported on December 30th that, according to an official announcement, Dr. Han, founder of Gate.io, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, released a year-end open letter focusing on Gate.io's achievements over the past year and sharing his assessment of the Web3 industry's maturation and long-term strategic thinking. This year also marks Gate.io's 12th anniversary. Looking back on the platform's development, Gate.io has continued to make breakthroughs in trading volume and compliance: its spot trading volume and liquidity rank second globally, while its contract trading volume and overall strength remain among the top three globally. Simultaneously, Gate.io has been advancing its compliance strategy in key markets such as Dubai, Europe, Australia, and the United States, laying a solid foundation for long-term international development.

In his open letter, Dr. Han pointed out that 2025 is a crucial turning point for Web3, marking its transition from concept to real-world application. As blockchain infrastructure, user experience, and compliance environment mature, Web3 is moving beyond niche technology circles and entering broader real-world use cases. Gate will continue to drive the integration of Web3 into everyday scenarios such as investment, wealth management, payments, and digital asset management in a more seamless and authentic way.

Looking ahead to 2026, Gate aims to connect the entire digital economy with a unified Gate App. Dr. Han stated that Gate is not pursuing the fastest growth, but rather a more stable and sustainable approach, accompanying more users as they move towards the next stage of Web3.
