#Gate13thAnniversaryLive Gate.io's 13th Anniversary: From a Crypto Hub to the F1 Track – "Moving Everything On-Chain"

Hong Kong / Online – April 2026 — When four-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen's RB21 meets the blue carpet of the crypto world at Hong Kong's K11 MUSEA, it marks more than a spectacle: it signals the coming-of-age of an entire industry entering the mainstream. From April 17 to May 10, 2026, Gate.io officially launches celebrating over thirteen years of crypto innovation driven by both speed and vision.

From Zero to 50 Million: Builders of the Digital Gold Era

Thirteen years ago, when Gate.io first started, cryptocurrency was still a niche playground for tech enthusiasts. Today, the platform serves over 50 million registered users and supports more than 4,500 digital assets, standing as one of the few "evergreens" in the industry that has weathered multiple bull and bear cycles.

During the anniversary opening ceremony, Dr. Han Lin, Founder and CEO of Gate.io, reflected on the journey of building trust and technology, before setting a bold new direction: "Moving Everything On-Chain" . In his keynote speech at Hong Kong Web3 Week, he emphasized that the future dividing line is no longer "crypto vs. traditional" but rather "on-chain vs. off-chain" – with blockchain poised to become the core infrastructure of tomorrow's finance.

The Blue Carpet and the Bull: Speed Made Tangible

More than just an anniversary, brings together the energy of F1 and the spirit of crypto. Through Gate.io's official partnership with the Red Bull F1 team, the celebration showcases how innovation and speed power both a championship-winning car and a global financial ecosystem. The iconic "Gate blue" has illuminated venues across Hong Kong, while exclusive fan experiences and blockchain meetups have drawn thousands of Web3 builders, traders, and enthusiasts.

Looking Ahead: The Next Frontier

As part of the anniversary, Gate.io announced a series of product upgrades, improved institutional custody solutions, and enhanced on-chain tools designed to help users seamlessly migrate real-world assets to the blockchain. "We are not just celebrating survival," Dr. Han added. "We are celebrating maturity. The next thirteen years will be about bringing one billion users on-chain."

continues until May 10, with global events, trading competitions, NFT giveaways, and surprise appearances from industry leaders. For more information, visit the official Gate.io anniversary page.
