According to the latest episode of the Gatecast podcast, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared the product philosophy and future plans for Gate Money. He stated that Gate is extending its years of accumulated experience into the fields of asset management and everyday payments to reach a broader user base, with the goal of doubling Gate Money's user base within the next one to two years.

In eligible regions, users can open bank accounts in their own name, use familiar payment and receipt methods, and have transfers processed by underlying blockchain technology; idle funds can also participate in growth through yield products.Looking ahead, Dr. Han also shared the application prospects of AI Agents providing round-the-clock assistance with asset allocation and fund management. As investment, wealth management, and everyday payments converge, Gate Money will continue to expand the application boundaries of various asset classes, driving Gate's services deeper into more everyday life scenarios.
according to a recent LinkedIn post by Gate Europe CEO Dr. Giovanni Cunti, digital assets are gradually expanding from value storage and transfer tools to broader economic activities. As blockchain infrastructure and financial services continue to develop, digital assets are creating new ways of connecting businesses, platforms, and market participants, with their role gradually extending into broader financial and commercial scenarios.Dr. Giovanni Cunti emphasized that the development of the digital economy requires reliable infrastructure and sound regulatory frameworks.

Odaily News In a recent interview on Cointelegraph's program Chain Reaction, Lucas Sum, Head of Stock Market Development at Gate, stated that crypto and stocks are quietly converging and increasingly becoming part of the same macro trade. He pointed out that the correlation between the crypto market and the Nasdaq index is currently higher than the five-year average, with the correlation coefficient once exceeding 0.8. Market sentiment is generally cautious at present, with more funds staying in low-risk assets such as stablecoins, as investors await clearer catalysts.Lucas Sum believes that the core narrative of the next market cycle may no longer be "crypto vs. Wall Street," but rather traditional financial assets accelerating their entry into the digital financial system through on-chain infrastructure. The scale of RWA has grown from approximately $12 billion a year ago to over $30 billion, while the scale of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has also reached approximately $15 billion, indicating that on-chain financial infrastructure continues to expand. Meanwhile, macro liquidity, real yields, and regulatory clarity remain key factors influencing the performance of risk assets. Against this backdrop, investors' focus is shifting from single-asset allocation to coordinated allocation across multiple asset classes. Lucas Sum noted that Gate is continuously expanding its stock business, currently covering U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean stock markets, with plans to extend further into more global markets to provide the necessary infrastructure for multi-asset investment.

Giovanni Cunti, CEO of Gate Europe, stated that some crypto companies which have already obtained licenses under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) may still exit the EU market due to rising compliance costs. Cunti indicated that stricter regulatory requirements make it more difficult for new entrants to compete, and some licensed companies may not be able to sustain the costs and resources required for ongoing operations under this framework in the long term. MiCA is the EU's regulatory framework for crypto assets. The 18-month transitional period ended on July 1st, and crypto companies serving EU clients must either obtain authorization or cease providing regulated services. Binance failed to obtain a MiCA license before the deadline. Last Friday, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) added 14 crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to its register, bringing the total number of authorized companies to 294. Cunti noted that the number of market operators in Europe has already decreased from thousands to hundreds.

Gate issued an announcement regarding the recent "user asset theft incident," sharing internal comprehensive verification results, analysis of the incident's cause, and progress on subsequent handling. Regarding the verification process and key facts, the announcement stated that after comprehensive verification, materials submitted by the applicant at the time, including account information, real-name information, transaction records, Alipay screen recordings, etc., matched the account completely. According to analysis by the technical team, Alipay screen recordings can only be made by the customer themselves or someone with access to the customer's Alipay account. Alipay possesses an extremely strict real-time risk control system; logging into Alipay on a different device will mandate multi-factor authentication. This indicates a situation involving serious leakage of customer information or device compromise. Regarding the Gate platform audit mechanism, the announcement stated that the Company's security unbinding audit mechanism strictly executes the four-fold verification process of "Multi-channel advance notification + System risk control preliminary screening + Manual multi-layer review + Time protection," and never has nor will it approve any security item change application based on a single material alone. Gate always takes information security and customer data protection as the Company's core management requirements. The issue of internal information leakage mentioned by some parties does not exist. Regarding fund recovery and subsequent handling, the announcement stated that Gate processed the matter with the highest priority immediately after the incident occurred, coordinating security, compliance, legal, business, and other teams to carry out on-chain analysis and asset tracking and freezing. It continues to coordinate with third-party institutions such as Tether to advance fund freezing. Subsequently, it will also actively cooperate with judicial authorities in investigations and data collection. Any substantive progress will be communicated immediately.
