Odaily News – According to the latest report by The Economist Enterprise, after 13 years of development and multiple strategic upgrades, Gate is gradually evolving from a traditional crypto asset trading platform into a comprehensive financial infrastructure connecting digital assets with traditional financial markets. The report notes that as more traditional financial products — including stocks, ETFs, tokenized assets, forex, and metals — enter the digital asset ecosystem, Gate is leveraging its multi-asset product layout and global infrastructure development to further bridge the gap between crypto finance and TradFi. In the interview, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that as the industry evolves, digital asset platforms are no longer facing only technical challenges, but also risk management, user protection, and industry regulation.In terms of TradFi integration, Gate has established a multi-layered framework spanning tokenized assets, derivatives, and native stock trading, successively launching products and services such as xStocks, Ondo, Gate TradFi, Pre-IPOs, Direct IPO Access, and Gate Stocks. Among these, Gate Stocks now supports stock trading in the U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korea, significantly lowering the barrier for global users to participate in traditional financial markets. Meanwhile, Gate continues to enhance its 24/7 trading and liquidity infrastructure to meet the cross-market asset allocation needs of users worldwide.The Economist Enterprise also pointed out that as the digital asset market moves further toward institutionalization, compliance, transparency, and infrastructure capabilities are becoming key components of platform competitiveness. Gate continues to advance its compliance framework across multiple global jurisdictions and has provided third-party audits and open-source Proof of Reserves since 2020. In addition, Gate is introducing AI infrastructure into Web3, connecting AI with trading, wallets, and more services through products such as Gate AI, Gate MCP, and GateClaw, driving the platform's evolution from a traditional trading venue into a comprehensive financial infrastructure that connects digital assets, traditional finance, and AI applications.
