Gate founder Dr. Han: AI will become the core competitiveness of Web3 in the next stage.

PANews reported on February 11 that the cryptocurrency exchange Gate hosted a high-level networking reception during Consensus HK, inviting over a thousand industry guests. Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han delivered a keynote speech titled "What's the Next Big Thing in Crypto," sharing his latest insights into the development trends of the digital asset industry.

Dr. Han points out that the crypto market may see a structural turning point in 2026: RWA and TradeFi assets will be accelerated to be on-chain, and traditional finance and crypto systems will be deeply integrated; AI agents for Web3 will enter the practical stage and become a key infrastructure for improving interaction efficiency and asset management capabilities; at the same time, DEX, CEX and AI will be accelerated to integrate, and an integrated platform will gradually take shape.

Based on this trend, Gate continues to advance its deployment around the scaling and integration of Web3. While strengthening GateAI's intelligent analysis and risk control capabilities, it has completed the upgrade of its decentralized trading platform, Gate DEX, and expanded its TradeFi product matrix, enriching multi-asset trading and allocation scenarios. Under a unified account system, Gate is accelerating the integration of CEX, DEX, and AI capabilities, lowering the barriers to cross-market participation, and promoting the coordinated development of traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
