Recently, Gate founder Dr. Han appeared on the WuShuo Podcast, where he shared in-depth insights on market cycles, regulatory compliance, industry layoffs, and the path to going public.
Dr. Han noted that while the crypto market continues to experience periodic volatility, it is now deeply embedded in global macroeconomic cycles. As a result, it is unlikely to see the kind of severe bear markets once triggered by single events in the early days. He emphasized that liquidity conditions and overall economic outlook remain the key drivers of market trends. On the technology front, Dr. Han believes AI is still in its early expansion phase, with real-world applications steadily emerging. He cautioned against simply labeling the sector as a "bubble." Meanwhile, user activity in Web3 is clearly shifting on-chain, and privacy technologies along with zero-knowledge proofs are poised to become foundational infrastructure in the future.
Discussing changes in industry structure, Dr. Han highlighted that the rise of Perp DEXs is driven by improved on-chain performance, lower costs, and the maturation of incentive mechanisms. He sees the integration of centralized platforms with on-chain models as a long-term trend. In the stablecoin space, he observed a clear scale effect taking shape.
Looking ahead, Dr. Han for the first time publicly expressed Gate’s intention to pursue a public listing. He explained that Gate has spent years building out compliance and licensing frameworks worldwide precisely to prepare for "long-term normalization and the possibility of going public." As of now, Gate Group entities have obtained or completed regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Dubai.
