Gate Founder Dr. Han Joins CoinMarketCap AMA to Discuss Gate Money and the Integration of Digital Assets With Traditional Finance
On October 15, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han participated in a live Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CoinMarketCap (CMC), discussing the launch of Gate Money, Gate's expansion into integrated financial services, and the growing convergence of digital assets and traditional finance.
During the interview, Dr. Han explained how Gate Money integrates digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold, accounts, fund transfers, and payment services to build an integrated financial services ecosystem. He also discussed Gate's expansion into traditional financial assets such as stocks and ETFs. To date, Gate has established a stock trading system covering five major markets, including U.S., Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan equities, supporting more than 12,800 stocks and ETFs. The discussion also explored the differences between real stocks, tokenized stocks, and stock perpetual futures, as well as how stablecoins and asset tokenization are creating new opportunities for cross-border payments, on-chain settlement, and broader financial applications.
Bitcoin.com Interviews Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han: Building Gate Money as an Integrated Financial Application to Transform How Funds Move
Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han participated in an interview with prominent cryptocurrency media outlet Bitcoin.com, reflecting on Gate's journey from developing its underlying trading system in 2013 to becoming a platform serving more than 62 million users across over 130 countries and regions. Addressing the long-standing barriers between traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets, as well as industry challenges such as frequent fund transfers between banks, brokerages, and cryptocurrency platforms, fragmented money management, and the erosion of cash purchasing power due to inflation, Dr. Han elaborated on the strategic vision and product philosophy behind "One Gate, Everything Money." He stated, "The future of finance is not about holding cash, but about making all assets instantly accessible and maximizing capital efficiency."
To address these challenges, Gate officially launched Gate Money, a new integrated financial application that brings together fiat currencies, crypto assets, gold, ETFs, and more than 12,800 global stocks within a single account. Under this framework, users do not need to keep funds idle in low-yielding cash balances and can instead allocate capital to quality assets with potential for value preservation and appreciation. When a purchase or settlement is required, the underlying system automatically converts the corresponding assets into fiat currency at the point of payment, allowing funds to remain invested until they are actually spent. This seamless transition from asset holding to instant payment removes traditional barriers between conventional finance and the cryptocurrency ecosystem, accelerating Gate's evolution into a comprehensive, all-in-one financial super app.

Dr. Han explained that Gate is entering a new phase of development as the platform expands beyond digital asset trading into everyday financial services. Over the past 13 years, Gate has continuously built capabilities in digital asset trading, liquidity, security, compliance, and global operations. As user needs have expanded to include asset management, fund transfers, and everyday payments, the platform has entered a new stage in its development of integrated financial services. Gate Money represents an important step in this transition, aiming to connect different assets and financial services so that users can utilize their funds and assets across a wider range of scenarios.
Discussing industry competition and future plans, Dr. Han emphasized that the key to integrated financial services is not simply adding more products, but continuously improving localized user experiences and strengthening financial infrastructure and institutional partnerships based on real user needs. He also stressed that different assets have distinct sources of returns and risk profiles, and that platforms should enhance transparency to help users understand their return mechanisms and associated risks.
Looking ahead, Dr. Han believes AI will significantly lower barriers to accessing financial services and improve the efficiency of asset allocation and fund utilization. Gate will continue to focus on practical user needs, advancing the integration of trading, asset management, and payment services.
BlockBeats: Gate Money Advances the All-in-One Strategy, Expanding New Use Cases for Global Financial Services
BlockBeats published an in-depth article titled "All in One Is the Only Way Forward," examining the industry trend of cryptocurrency trading platforms evolving into integrated financial services providers. Using Gate Money as an example, the article analyzed the potential for integrating global asset trading, everyday payments, and wealth management.
