When it comes to rise, the most challenging aspect has never been speed, but direction.

Today, Gate's transparency report for September has been released, and what I see is not just the numbers rising, but the entire ecosystem slowly forming a rhythm—Gate Layer, GUSD, Perp DEX, Gate Fun, each component is moving in one direction: to truly integrate cryptocurrency into life.

This kind of "integration" is not only on the screen. Recently, at an offline event, I also met quite a few old users. They didn't talk about how much they earned, but rather about the sense of participation. Some people said it was their first time using GUSD to book a hotel, their first time issuing tokens with Gate Fun, and their first time meeting community partners in real life — that feeling of "running from online to offline" is very interesting and unforgettable.

For me, the end point of trading is not just numbers and curves, but the feelings related to the users and the users themselves.

When 41 million users are connected in various scenarios, Gate's story is not just a story of rise, but a story of everyone working together.
