Gate Honored as the 2025 Crypto Industry Icon for Advancing Web3 Development and Industry Standardization

12-12-2025, 6:48:15 AM
On December 11, at the 2025 Entrepreneur Middle East Leadership Awards in Dubai, Gate was honored as the "Crypto Industry Icon" of the year. Presented by Entrepreneur Middle East, a business media brand with more than a decade of history, the award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to global crypto and Web3 development, showcasing outstanding influence, industry impact, and ecosystem contributions.

As a leading platform that has been deeply rooted in the industry for over 12 years, Gate has achieved significant progress in recent years across global business expansion, product ecosystem upgrades, and the development of its Web3 technology infrastructure. The platform now has more than 46 million registered users worldwide, with its spot and derivatives businesses ranking among the top globally. Gate continues to maintain high standards in security architecture, asset transparency, and market depth, providing a stable and reliable trading environment for both individual users and institutional investors.

At the strategic level, Gate is accelerating its “All in Web3” roadmap, building a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem that spans infrastructure, application layers, and community development. The platform has launched Gate Layer, a high-performance Layer 2 network, which serves as the foundation for a series of innovative products including Gate Perp DEX, a decentralized perpetuals trading platform; Meme Go, an on-chain analytics and smart decisioning tool for ultra-fast meme trading; and Gate Fun, a no-code on-chain token launch platform. Together, these initiatives form a diversified Web3 ecosystem powered by high-performance infrastructure and driven by product innovation.

For institutional and high-net-worth clients, Gate continues to expand its suite of professional financial services. The platform’s Private Wealth Management, VIP financial products, quantitative funds, and Gate Vault services are continuously upgraded to provide high-end clients with comprehensive, multi-strategy, and multi-asset digital asset management support. On the institutional side, Gate has introduced CrossEx, a proprietary cross-exchange trading and clearing platform that breaks down barriers between exchanges, enabling unified management and efficient coordination of assets and strategies across multiple platforms. This further strengthens Gate’s capabilities in delivering institutional-grade infrastructure.

Being named a “Crypto Industry Icon” reflects not only international business media’s recognition of Gate’s overall strength, innovation capacity, and industry influence, but also highlights the platform’s long-term contributions to raising industry standards, advancing infrastructure development, and promoting ecosystem health. As global regulatory frameworks and technological trends continue to evolve, Gate is expanding its collaboration with regulators, industry organizations, and developer communities, working to advance higher levels of transparency, professionalism, and inclusive financial services. The platform stated that it will continue to advance its “All in Web3” strategy, accelerating the development of Web3 infrastructure and innovative applications to build a more open, interconnected, and sustainable global digital asset ecosystem, unlocking broader growth potential and long-term momentum for the industry.
