✨ Gate Money: One Account for Crypto, Stocks, Gold, and Everyday Spending
🔹 At TOKEN2049 Singapore, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Lin Han introduced Gate Money, a unified financial application built around the vision "One Gate, Everything Money." The platform consolidates digital assets, fiat currencies, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, and payments into a single account within the Gate App.
📊 The data behind the platform:
🔹 Asset coverage:
▪️ Over 5,300 crypto assets
▪️ More than 12,800 stocks and ETFs
▪️ Tokenized gold
▪️ Over 60 fiat currencies
🔹 Spending infrastructure:
▪️ Gate Visa Card enables direct spending from multi-asset balances at checkout
▪️ Coverage across 40+ markets and more than 175 million Visa merchant locations worldwide
▪️ Supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ATM cash withdrawals
🔹 Banking integration:
▪️ Eligible users can open a global electronic bank account in their own name with one click
▪️ Supports receiving and transferring funds in over 60 local currencies
⚖️ Structural perspective:
🔹 From a long-term structural perspective, Gate Money addresses a persistent inefficiency in the financial system: the fragmentation of asset holding, management, and spending. Historically, users have had to move between banks, brokerages, exchanges, and payment tools to manage different forms of value.
▪️ The platform's design compresses this process into a single framework. The core logic is straightforward: Earn → Hold → Exchange → Transfer → Spend.
▪️ The significance extends beyond convenience. By connecting bank accounts, digital assets, fiat currencies, stocks, gold, and ETFs within one account architecture, the framework allows assets to remain usable without requiring prior liquidation. The reported example — paying for a coffee with stock holdings or covering dinner with gold — reflects this structural shift from asset silos to unified liquidity.
▪️ Dr. Han has noted that the traditional divide between the crypto world and traditional finance forces users to switch between multiple platforms. Gate Money's approach is to treat asset forms as diverse while keeping management unified.
▪️ The collaboration with Visa links this framework to an established global payments network, and the broader context shows crypto-linked card programs have seen payment volumes expand by nearly 200% year-over-year.

#BTC战略储备市场影响 BTC strategic reserves or and gold become dual insurance
On September 17th, the US Congress advanced the #BTC Strategic Act! Plans to purchase 1 million BTC within 5 years!
In fact, since March of this year, or rather the market situation before and after Trump's election victory—major enterprises and companies have been gradually purchasing BTC as a hedge asset, which has been a hint from the very beginning. After all, it was said at that time that BTC would be a strategic reserve, and this has continued until now. This includes Trump's retirement funds being able to invest in cryptocurrencies and a series of strategic measures from around July or August. Until now, news has emerged again, and it’s still a bombshell—strategic reserves, just like gold! Moreover, it can be publicly supported.
Well, how should I put it? In the past, it was more like a verbal check; I said I would do it, but the timing was tentative (the time was undecided). Now, the check is in hand, and it just needs my signature to execute this measure. (Although the timing is also undecided, it's like the metaphor suggests, the check is in hand, and it just needs a signature). This news coincides perfectly with the recent breakthrough of gold hitting new highs. It's important to note that gold, as one of the safe-haven assets, represents the occurrence and development of events or market trends every time it breaks new highs. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, various countries will reserve gold as a safe-haven asset. Not to mention the general public. And now, with BTC officially stepping onto the international stage and breaking historic highs, major companies, institutions, and countries are successively choosing to reserve it as a safe-haven asset.
BTC still has decades of excess return potential. I wonder how many people remember this statement by Dan Morehead, the founder and CEO of Pantera Capital, at the Consensus 2025 conference held in Toronto in May. At that time, he also emphasized that Pantera continues to have confidence in this asset class. Morehead advised investors to "invest in a wide range of tokens and venture equity" to seize the rapidly evolving market opportunities.
The extensive investment in other tokens and risky equity is reflected in the value of blockchain and profit in recent tokens such as GT, BTR, MYX, AVNT, RWA, OPEN, and so on. GT has risen from 0.2 in 2020 to now 16, with subsequent initiatives (public chain underway, burning, innovation in functions and performance, etc.) and the development of the times showing a trend of breaking new highs. MYX speaks for itself. The upcoming artificial intelligence tokens and the RWA token tracks, etc., all reflect diversity and the resonance of blockchain with the world. It can manifest the inherent value in various industries, creating a financial system that is different from stocks. Hong Kong's Guotai Junan International, along with recent investments by China Merchants International in SOL, Tencent, and others, all confirm that one of the future development trends is blockchain.
Therefore, if BTC is indeed designated as an official strategic reserve by the United States, it will undoubtedly become one of the super catalysts for the next bull market. After the U.S. reserves it, more and more institutional enterprises, private entities, and nations will choose it as one of their safe-haven asset reserves. It will hold a status similar to that of gold. It exists now, but it will be more significant in the future. Over time, 200,000? 300? It's hard to imagine. Perhaps we will witness history.
The United States has proposed to strategically reserve BTC. The timing could be in October or November. With the New Year approaching, along with Christmas and so on, perhaps the crypto world also needs a beautiful conclusion this year - that is, the proposal's approval.
It is not recommended to buy the dip in the short term + we need to wait for a pullback, because when good news is fully priced in, it becomes bad news. Enter on a pullback, to be safe, do not blindly chase highs, not losing is making a profit! #Gate广场创作点亮中秋

#美国9月PPI大超预期 ✨ US PPI Inflation Surges to 6.3%, the Highest Since Late 2022
🔹 The US September Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 1.3% month-over-month and 6.3% year-over-year, significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of 5.3%. This marks the largest monthly increase since March 2022 and the highest annual reading since December 2022.
📊 The data behind the print:
🔹 Core PPI: Excluding food and energy, core PPI rose 0.7% MoM and 5.0% YoY, both above expectations.
▪️ Energy: Energy prices surged 10.8%, accounting for more than 80% of the broad-based increase in goods prices. Gasoline jumped 20.3%.
▪️ Context: The reading follows Wednesday's CPI report, which also came in above forecasts at 3.7% YoY headline and 2.6% core. Retail sales for September rose 0.8% MoM, beating the 0.3% estimate.
⚖️ Market impact:
🔹 Bitcoin: Briefly fell below $80,000 to $79,800 before rebounding to near $82,000. Market-wide liquidations reached approximately $930 million over 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $780 million. The $80,000–$81,500 zone remains a critical support area, overlapping with the estimated ETF cost basis.
▪️ US Equities:The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 traded mixed, with tech and semiconductor names under pressure. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell over 4% in the prior session. Cyclical sectors and the Dow Jones outperformed as investors rotated toward defensive positioning.
▪️ Treasuries & Dollar: The 10-year Treasury yield dipped to approximately 5.04% from 5.10%, as safe-haven demand for bonds offset the inflation surprise. The dollar index retreated from its 18-month high toward 102.0.
▪️ Gold & Silver:Spot gold recovered above $4,150, up over 1%, while silver rebounded above $56.9 per ounce, gaining more than 2.4%. The recovery was driven by falling yields, a softer dollar, and renewed safe-haven demand.
⚖️ Structural perspective:
🔹 The PPI acceleration broadens the inflation narrative beyond consumer-level price pressures. With producer costs rising across energy, transportation, and services, the data reinforces the case for the Federal Reserve to maintain a restrictive stance. Markets now price roughly a 29% probability of a rate hike at the October 27-28 meeting, with December tightening expectations remaining elevated.
▪️ For risk assets like Bitcoin, the primary pressure channel is the rate outlook: higher-for-longer borrowing costs reduce the relative appeal of non-yielding assets. Gold and silver, however, face a more layered dynamic, balancing safe-haven demand against real-rate headwinds.
▪️ The key variable ahead is whether the Fed signals patience at the October meeting or adopts a firmer tone. Until that guidance arrives, markets are likely to remain in a recalibration phase, with capital rotating selectively between growth, defensive, and hard-asset exposure.
