On the F1 racetrack intertwined with speed and excitement, every millisecond is a tipping point between victory and defeat, and every innovation is a battle toward the pinnacle. In February of this year, the globally leading digital asset exchange platform Gate.io officially announced its partnership with the F1 Red Bull Racing Team—across two different dimensions of extreme challenges, the spirit of innovation resonated between the two.
This partnership not only symbolizes another key leap forward in Gate.io's global brand strategy but also coincides with its important twelfth anniversary. The platform simultaneously revealed its new Chinese name, "大门" (Gate), symbolizing a more open posture to connect users with the future of the crypto world. At this milestone, Gate.io's founder and CEO, Dr. Han, officially presented a new strategic objective—to build the "next-generation super unicorn exchange," ushering in a new era for the crypto industry.
On its twelfth anniversary, Gate.io officially adopted its new Chinese brand name—Gate, which marks not only the starting point but also the gateway to exploring the future, symbolizing a more open, diverse, and globalized brand vision. Gate.io, under the name Gate, will embark on the journey of evolving into the "next-generation super unicorn exchange platform."
Over the past twelve years, Gate.io has used technology as the key and service as the bridge to open the gate for users to the crypto world:
● The number of listed coins has exceeded 3800, continuously leading the industry forefront;
● Its comprehensive strength ranks among the top three globally, with a 24-hour spot trading volume ranking second worldwide;
● It has established a comprehensive ecosystem covering trading, Web3 wallet, payments, investment incubation, and more;
● The platform token GT reached a peak price of $25.960, propelling it into the global Top 34 by market cap.
The use of "Gate" not only summarizes Gate.io's past accumulation but also heralds a new stage with broader and more possibilities. The positioning of the "next-generation super unicorn exchange platform" reflects its profound insight into the industry's future trends and forward-looking strategic layout. As a veteran cryptocurrency exchange, Gate.io has accumulated deep experience over its twelve-year development journey. Now, facing the industry's comprehensive eruption of opportunities, Gate.io will exert comprehensive efforts in key dimensions such as technology, security, ecosystem, and brand to kick off a new growth trajectory, dedicated to shaping a future-oriented industry paradigm and continuously creating greater value for users and the industry.
The F1 Red Bull Racing Team has long dominated the track with its boundary-pushing innovation and rigorous safety management. In the blockchain industry, Gate.io is also renowned for its commitment to both innovation and security. Gate.io has joined forces with the F1 Red Bull Racing Team to unleash dual potential through cross-industry collaboration, injecting fresh momentum into building the "next-generation super-unicorn trading platform."

In the increasingly competitive global landscape, brand awareness and cultural identity have become new thresholds that the crypto industry must overcome. Formula 1, as one of the world's most-watched and influential sports events, reaches hundreds of millions of viewers and is known for its high-end, cutting-edge, and international image. This partnership has also become one of Gate.io's "Super Unicorn Exchange Platform" strategic concepts. Through the cultural resonance of a top global sports IP, Gate.io is reshaping user perception, transitioning from a technical platform to a global digital lifestyle advocate, further solidifying its international influence and brand value.
Through a platform as prestigious as F1, Gate.io can not only reach more high-value users worldwide but also further strengthen the brand's core traits of "speed, innovation, security, and connection" at a cultural level. At the same time, this demonstrates that Gate.io is building a grander and more open international brand matrix—under the triad layout of compliance, globalization, and branding, moving towards a longer-term and broader future.
Looking back to 2013, Gate.io embarked with the original aspiration of "opening the door to crypto assets for global users." Twelve years later, this door has connected tens of millions of users worldwide, becoming an undeniable force in the global crypto economy. Today, standing at a new starting point of twelve years, Gate.io, under the name of the "gateway," partners with the F1 Red Bull Racing Team with a firmer belief and a more open attitude to continue exploring infinite possibilities and embark on a new journey to create the "next-generation Super Unicorn Exchange Platform." The future belongs to those who understand perseverance in speed and maintain security in innovation. The gate is open, and a new era of cryptocurrency is unfolding.
