In the fast-changing business world, a unicorn company is not just a milestone in valuation, but also a comprehensive embodiment of technology, business model, and vision. Over the past 12 years, the cryptocurrency exchange platform Gate.io has quietly completed a strategic upgrade from a "tool platform" to "infrastructure," evolving from a small-scale matching platform to a global leading crypto financial ecosystem.

As a unicorn further breaks through the ceiling, possessing global influence, a larger user base, and a broader business layout, it enters the ranks of a super-unicorn. Super-unicorn companies not only have valuations reaching the tens of billions of dollars, but also have the ability to reshape the industry landscape, lead the next-generation technology or infrastructure evolution.

Dr. Han, the founder of Gate.io, stated at the brand’s 12th-anniversary event: "We are moving towards the 'next-generation super-unicorn trading platform' — this is not just a leap in valuation, but a comprehensive evolution of capability and mission."

Beyond Trading, Building the "Foundation" of the Web3 World

Gate.io believes that the future exchange is not just an intermediary for asset circulation, but also a super hub connecting global digital assets and users. It needs to possess five core capabilities:

· Serving billions of users: Providing a customized experience for both novice users and professional institutions;
· Supporting millions of assets: Covering mainstream currencies, innovative projects, DeFi, NFTs, and even RWAs (Real World Asset tokenization);
· Processing billions of transactions: High-frequency trading engine, ensuring ultimate stability and sub-second matching;
· Safeguarding trillions of funds: Security is not a slogan, but a collective presentation of code, risk control, and culture;
· Fully compliant with global regulations: Actively engaging with policies to empower industry compliance and healthy development.

Betting on Cutting-edge Tracks: RWA, DeFi, and Metaverse Expansion

Regarding future technology trends, Dr. Han also mentioned in an interview with Cointelegraph Chinese that Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Blockchain Gaming (GameFi), and Real World Asset tokenization (RWA) will be crucial growth points for the crypto industry.

Gate.io has already laid out its strategy in these areas: In the DeFi field, the platform is not only continuously building its own ecosystem but also supporting asset cross-chain, decentralized trading, and contract security through infrastructure such as GateChain. It actively incubates high-quality DeFi projects through channels like the Innovation Zone, LaunchPool, Gate Ventures, and more. In the blockchain gaming field, Gate.io participates in investment incubation, selects premium projects, and provides support through Launchpad, LaunchPool, and an NFT marketplace to help outstanding game projects quickly reach a global audience. In the Real World Asset (RWA) field, the company is accelerating product and service innovation, focusing on the application exploration of compliant stablecoins, tokenized bonds, tokenized commodities, and other projects. In the future, it will support the circulation and popularization of real-world assets through a more flexible listing and trading mechanism.

Deeply Cultivating the "Edge Market" and Extensively Expanding Global Compliance Reach

As the market structure stabilizes, giants like Binance and OKEx dominate the major trading volumes, establishing a strong-getting-stronger trend. However, in this seemingly solidified landscape, Gate.io has taken a different path—a breakthrough from the edge market, deeply cultivating global compliance, and innovatively constructing its ecosystem.

In an interview with Cointelegraph Chinese, Dr. Han stated: "In a rapidly evolving industry, the hierarchy is not set in stone. I believe that only by truly understanding user needs, maintaining technological innovation, and upholding compliance and transparency can we cross cycles, continuously gain a broader space in the global market, and this is why we always adhere to long-termism."

A super unicorn may not necessarily be born in the spotlight. But it will eventually step onto the center stage at the right time.
