TechFlame News: Gate hosted a themed institutional event titled "Gate Institutional Circle: CrossEx · Next-Gen Cross-Exchange Trading Infrastructure" at the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong, inviting nearly a hundred guests to participate. Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate, delivered a keynote speech on-site, sharing his insights on the evolving trends in crypto payments and on-chain financial systems. Dr. Han pointed out that the expansion of stablecoin payments, crypto cards, and RWA essentially drives the restructuring of settlement logic, asset forms, and transaction time boundaries. However, challenges such as fragmented multi-chain liquidity, insufficient cross-system coordination, and limitations in fiat channels and foreign exchange efficiency continue to hinder the scalability and globalization of on-chain finance. He emphasized that the next phase of competition will no longer revolve solely around individual product capabilities but will focus on the comprehensive construction of liquidity integration, compliance frameworks, and multi-asset synergy systems. Aligning with the integration of payment networks and TradFi product matrices, Gate is exploring the development of a unified infrastructure that supports 24/7 trading, cross-asset allocation, and global settlement, in response to the new era of deep integration between crypto and traditional finance.
