#DrHan2025YearEndOpenLetter

Dr. Han (Dr. Han Lin) is the Founder and CEO of Gate.io and one of the early adopters of blockchain technology. He founded Gate.io in 2013, at a time when the cryptocurrency industry was still in its early stages. His vision was to build a secure, transparent, and globally accessible crypto trading platform where users could trust the safety of their assets. From the very beginning, Gate.io was designed not only as a trading exchange but as a foundation for the future Web3 ecosystem.
Under Dr. Han’s leadership, Gate.io has grown into one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The platform is currently ranked #2 globally in spot trading volume and consistently places among the top three exchanges worldwide in terms of overall strength and contract trading. Gate.io maintains strong security and transparency standards, with total reserves of $11.676 billion, a 124% reserve ratio, and coverage of nearly 500 assets. The exchange has also emphasized Proof of Reserves, reinforcing user trust and financial accountability.
Beyond trading performance, Dr. Han has played a key role in bringing cryptocurrency closer to mainstream adoption. Gate.io has achieved global recognition through major partnerships, including becoming the official sponsor of the F1 Red Bull Racing Team and the official sleeve sponsor of Inter Milan. These collaborations reflect Gate.io’s mission to expand crypto awareness beyond the trading community and into the global public sphere.
In his 2025 Year-End Open Letter, Dr. Han highlighted that 2025 marks Gate.io’s 12th anniversary and represents a critical year for the maturity of Web3. He reaffirmed Gate.io’s long-term vision of “All in Web3,” emphasizing continuous investment in infrastructure, security, compliance, and global expansion. Looking ahead to 2026, Dr. Han made it clear that the goal is to integrate Web3 into everyday life, rather than limiting it to a niche technological space. He also expressed sincere gratitude to all users and partners for their trust and continued support throughout Gate.io’s journey.
