#GateCEO2025YearEndOpenLetter

🌐 Founder of Gate, Dr. Han, in his open letter by the end of 2025: the year that defines Web3 maturity

2025 becomes a landmark year for Gate and the entire Web3 industry.
Marking its 12th anniversary, founder and CEO Dr. Han shared an open letter reflecting not only growth metrics but also deeper transformations occurring within the crypto ecosystem — Web3’s transition from a niche technology to a real infrastructure.

📈 Reliable Foundations, Not Short-Term Momentum
In a year shaped by market cycles and rapid technological shifts, Gate’s progress remained rooted in transparency, resilience, and long-term goals:

#2 ranking in global spot trading volume, with derivatives and overall platform strength confidently entering the global Top 3

$11.676 billion in total reserves, reaching a reserve ratio of 124%, covering nearly 500 user assets

One of the most comprehensive Proof of Reserves disclosures in the industry

Expansion of the global presence as the official sponsor of Oracle Red Bull Racing (F1) and the official sleeve sponsor of Inter Milan

These achievements reflect Gate’s focus on security, liquidity, and trust, rather than chasing short-term market attention.

🔑 2025: When Web3 Became Practical
The key theme from Dr. Han’s letter is clarity:
Web3 is becoming usable, not just conceptual.
Throughout 2025, the industry observed:

Improved on-chain performance and cross-chain operation efficiency

Greater user focus on platform stability and asset transparency

Growth in long-term capital participation

Deep integration of AI in trading, data analysis, and risk management

Early signs of cryptocurrency payments and digital asset management in everyday scenarios

These developments signify a shift from speculative behavior to creating real value and sustainable ecosystems.

🧱 “All in Web3” — Long-Term Commitment
Gate’s strategy remains clear: Web3 should integrate into life, not require users to learn it.
In 2025, Gate continued active investments in:

Core infrastructure and cross-chain/off-chain connectivity

Security systems, risk controls, and transparency mechanisms

International efforts to comply with regulatory requirements

Development of Layer 2 solutions and ecosystem coordination

Building a globally distributed, professional, and resilient team

Many of these efforts are invisible to the market — but they enable platforms to withstand volatility and grow responsibly.

🔮 Outlook 2026: Web3 Without Barriers
Looking ahead, Dr. Han presents a practical vision for 2026:
Web3 should become seamless, embedded in investments, payments, wealth management, and everyday financial solutions — without friction or complexity.

The goal is not faster speculation, but greater freedom for users, allowing them to maintain control over their assets and enjoy a simpler, more efficient financial experience.

Mature Web3 does not complicate the world — it gives people more choices and autonomy.

🧠 Final Thoughts
Gate’s path in 2025 demonstrates a consistent philosophy:

Infrastructure over narratives

Transparency over promises

Long-term trust over short-term speed

As Web3 enters the next phase, Gate continues to position itself not only as a trading platform but also as a gateway to a full digital economic lifestyle.

The future of Web3 will not happen overnight — it is built step by step.
