#Gate13周年现场直击

Gate Gala 13 was not a product launch. It was not a press conference. It was something rarer a private gathering of more than 300 people who have each spent years building, funding, and shaping the digital asset industry, seated together under one roof, with no cameras pointed at them and no public agenda to manage. Just conversation. The kind that actually moves things.
Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate, sat at the center of it. Thirteen years of building the platform that today serves over 51 million users gave him the credibility to convene this room. What he chose to do with it was not celebrate. He chose to ask hard questions about what comes next.
On Real World Assets — The Conversation the Industry Has Been Circling for Two Years Finally Landed
RWA was not a side topic at Gate Gala 13. It was the gravitational center of the most substantive conversations of the evening. The reason is simple: the infrastructure is now real. Hong Kong passed its Stablecoins Ordinance in May 2025. The SFC has an active licensing framework. BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, and Ondo Finance are no longer sending exploration teams to Asia they are building here.
The dialogue at the gala reflected this shift. The question being debated was no longer whether RWA tokenization would happen. It was about the architecture of what it becomes. How do you standardize legal wrappers across multiple jurisdictions when the underlying asset is a bond in one country, a real estate parcel in another, and a commodity contract in a third? How do protocols handle redemption when the on-chain token and the off-chain asset are governed by different legal systems?
These are infrastructure-level questions. And the people in that room from institutional capital allocators to exchange architects to blockchain protocol founders are the ones who will write the answers.
Gate's own product direction reflects where this conversation is heading. The Pre-IPOs product, launched just hours before the gala with SpaceX as the debut underlying asset, is a direct expression of the RWA thesis: structured financial instruments, built on crypto rails, accessible to retail users without the traditional gatekeepers. That is what multi-asset layout looks like when it moves from whitepaper to product.
On Artificial Intelligence and Web3 — Not a Trend, an Architecture Decision
The second major current running through the evening was the intersection of AI and Web3 infrastructure. This is no longer a speculative pairing. AI agents need verifiable data. AI systems managing financial operations need audit trails that cannot be altered. AI decision-making in financial contexts lending, trading, portfolio management requires trust mechanisms that traditional cloud infrastructure cannot provide. Blockchain provides exactly those mechanisms.
The question the industry is now working through is what the stack looks like. Do AI agents operate on-chain? Do they verify their inputs through decentralized oracle networks? Do they hold assets in smart contracts and execute autonomously? And critically when an AI agent makes a financial decision that causes a loss, who is accountable?
These are not philosophical questions. They are product design questions that every exchange, protocol, and institutional deployment team is actively solving right now.
Gate's ecosystem — which includes Gate Wallet, Gate Ventures, and Gate for AI is already positioned at this intersection. The platform did not arrive at the AI conversation from the outside. It is an active participant in building the infrastructure layer.
On the Institutional Wave — The Tide Has Already Turned
Three years ago, institutional participation in crypto meant a treasury allocation to Bitcoin and a compliance team trying to explain it to auditors. That era is finished. The institutional wave that people have been predicting for a decade has arrived quietly, through spot ETF approvals, through custody infrastructure reaching bank-grade standards, through regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong, the EU, and increasingly in the United States that give asset managers a clear legal path to digital asset exposure.
What Gate Gala 13 reflected is that the conversation among institutional participants has matured completely. Nobody in that room was debating whether blockchain technology had merit. They were debating capital allocation frameworks, liquidity depth, counterparty risk across multi-chain environments, and how to structure derivatives exposure on tokenized assets. This is what genuine institutional adoption sounds like. It sounds like a treasury meeting, not a pitch deck.
The implication for exchanges like Gate is significant. The platform that serves the next decade of institutional capital flows needs to be more than a trading venue. It needs to be a multi-asset infrastructure layer one that connects pre-IPO equity exposure, spot markets, derivatives, DeFi yields, and real-world asset settlement into a single coherent experience. That is the product roadmap that the conversations at Gate Gala 13 pointed toward.
On the Next Decade — What the Outline Looks Like from Inside That Room
Thirteen years ago, Gate opened as a spot exchange for digital assets. The next thirteen years look structurally different. The shift is not from small to large. It is from crypto-native to financial-native a transition where the underlying technology becomes invisible and the outcome is a global financial system that is faster, more accessible, more transparent, and structurally fairer than what existed before.
That transition does not happen in conference halls or on livestreams. It happens in rooms like the Rosewood Hong Kong on the evening of April 20, 2026 where the people who are actually building the next decade sit together, speak directly, and leave with a sharper understanding of what they are building toward.
Gate turned 13. The future it has been building toward is no longer a projection. It is already here, in outline. The dinner was the proof.
