Gate founder Dr. Han: TradeFi redefines asset boundaries and is an essential step for crypto to become mainstream.

PANews reported on January 22 that, according to official sources, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han, in a recent Gate-hosted AMA interview, systematically explained the evolution of the new financial system, focusing on the asset pricing logic of TradeFi, gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Dr. Han stated that the real turning point for the crypto industry is not a market rebound, but rather the redefinition of financial boundaries, with TradeFi becoming a core entry point connecting traditional finance and Web3.

He pointed out that rising global uncertainty is driving capital to seek out "assets that can weather economic cycles." The strength of gold and silver is not a short-term phenomenon, but rather a result of the restructuring of the global risk pricing system. Bitcoin is transitioning from a speculative asset to a portfolio-oriented digital asset, and its next round of growth depends on whether it is included in the mainstream asset allocation system. "Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are essentially all responding to the same question of our time: how to preserve value in an uncertain world," Dr. Han emphasized. He stressed that Gate's core strategy is not to chase a particular market trend, but to create a long-term, usable cross-market asset gateway to serve the long-term allocation needs of the new financial cycle.
