The GATE GALA 13th Anniversary Banquet at Rosewood Hong Kong brought together over 300 global institutions, partners, and key industry voices for an evening focused on where markets are heading next.

From discussions on multi-asset strategies to the growing influence of RWA, AI integration, and the accelerating wave of institutional adoption, the event highlighted how quickly the digital asset landscape is evolving. Speakers including Dr. Han, Simon Ren, Addis Hu, and guests from Galaxy Digital shared perspectives that reflected both current momentum and long-term transformation.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scale of the gathering, but the alignment across participants: the industry is clearly moving toward deeper integration with traditional finance, smarter infrastructure through AI, and more structured, institution-driven growth.

The night closed with meaningful conversations and a shared sense that the next phase of the market won’t just be about growth, but about maturity, utility, and real-world impact.
