What sparks fly when digital crypto assets meet the extreme speed of the F1 racetrack? In April 2026, Gate, a leading crypto asset trading platform, delivered an answer. As the official sponsor of the Red Bull Racing F1 Team, Gate kicked off the festivities on April 16 with an exclusive Red Bull Racing showcase parade at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. The display car followed a set route, bringing elite motorsport culture to a city landmark for the first time, drawing crowds of locals and tourists, and fueling a surge of excitement at the event.
Next, from April 18 to 24, Gate launched the "Racing the Future" outdoor crossover exhibition at the K11 MUSEA promenade along Victoria Harbour. On the opening day, April 18, the exhibition attracted over 10,000 visitors, with crowds continuing to gather and an electrifying atmosphere throughout the waterfront. This parade and exhibition not only served as the centerpiece of Gate’s global 13th anniversary celebration, but also marked Gate’s breakthrough as a world-leading digital asset platform—stepping from online to offline and sharing its brand philosophy of "speed, precision, and innovation" with a broader audience.
F1 2026’s All-New Race Car Debuts in Hong Kong, Immersive Experience Ignites Social Buzz
As the highlight of the exhibition, Gate showcased the Red Bull Racing Team’s all-new 2026 season race car and core equipment for the first time. The exhibition featured an immersive interactive zone, allowing every visitor to experience the aerodynamic aesthetics and engineering excellence of F1 racing up close.
Additionally, racing suits, gear, and gloves from champion driver Max Verstappen and driver Isack Hadjar were on display, with a giant Max Verstappen helmet installation becoming one of the most popular photo spots. This marked the first public appearance of an active F1 race car in Hong Kong, giving both motorsport fans and members of the crypto community a chance to discover their own passion for speed at this unique exhibition.
Blue Carpet Ceremony & Racing Parade: Bringing Brand Storytelling to the City Stage
On April 20, Gate will host the "Gate 13 Blue Carpet Ceremony" at the exhibition site, unveiling the Red Bull Racing display car and celebrating the brand partnership. Unlike traditional red carpet events, the blue carpet reflects Gate’s brand colors, maintaining a premium tone while highlighting the platform’s identity.
Looking back at the April 16 parade, the display car made a dynamic appearance around Victoria Harbour, blending elite motorsport culture into Hong Kong’s city skyline. This open-air parade, combined with the static exhibition, offered a comprehensive Formula 1 showcase and extended the brand celebration into public spaces, letting more locals and tourists experience Gate’s "Racing the Future" spirit firsthand.
Anniversary Gala: Over 300 Industry Leaders Gather at Victoria Harbour
On the evening of April 20, Gate will host a high-end anniversary gala at the Rosewood Hong Kong, with platform founder and CEO Dr. Han attending in person. The event will bring together more than 300 top industry representatives and partners from sectors including blockchain, traditional finance, investment, and tech innovation. The gala is not only a milestone celebration of Gate’s 13-year journey, but also a high-level platform for deepening strategic collaboration with global partners.
Crypto Market Racing in Sync: Gate Hits Record 12.2% Derivatives Market Share
While Gate is stirring up excitement at Victoria Harbour, the crypto market is also experiencing fresh volatility and change. As of April 20, Bitcoin (BTC) traded in a narrow range between $74,000 and $75,000, Ethereum (ETH) hovered near $2,280, and the total crypto market cap held steady at around $2.5 trillion.
On the platform side, Gate delivered impressive results. According to the March 2026 transparency report, Gate’s derivatives market share surged to a record 12.2%, ranking among the top two globally. User registrations surpassed 52 million, with support for over 4,500 spot assets. Gate’s overall reserve ratio reached 122%, with Bitcoin reserves at an outstanding 147%, maintaining industry-leading transparency. Gate also ranks in the global top three for spot liquidity and 24-hour trading volume, demonstrating deep liquidity and rapid execution capabilities.
These figures underscore Gate’s core competitiveness in the crypto industry: while racing to new heights offline with F1 speed, Gate’s robust technology and liquidity keep it at the forefront of the online trading market.
Conclusion
From the Victoria Harbour racing parade on April 16, to the "Racing the Future" outdoor exhibition from April 18 to 24, and the Blue Carpet Ceremony and anniversary gala on April 20, Gate orchestrated a series of high-profile offline events in Hong Kong, creating a crossover storm between the crypto world and the F1 racetrack. Whether it’s the debut of the Red Bull Racing Team’s all-new 2026 car, the giant Max Verstappen helmet installation, or the gathering of over 300 industry leaders at the Victoria Harbour gala, Gate is proving that a crypto brand is more than just online trading—it can build deeper emotional connections with global users through elite sports IP and cultural experiences.
As the crypto market races ahead, Gate’s record 12.2% derivatives market share, steady growth to 52 million registered users, and continued leadership in reserve transparency showcase its strength and determination to evolve from a "trading platform" to a "multi-asset digital ecosystem." Whether on the F1 circuit or in the crypto arena, Gate always powers the race to the future with speed and precision.
