The CEO of Gate exchange, Lin Han, has announced fundamental changes in the crypto industry: the market no longer adheres to Bitcoin’s four-year cycles but is becoming part of global economic processes, the U.S. stock market, and trends in artificial intelligence.

“The previous logic of Bitcoin’s four-year cycles no longer dictates the industry’s behavior.”
The Impact of Stablecoins on the Banking Sector
Lin Han notes that digital assets are increasingly integrating into the global financial system, transforming into its foundational infrastructure. According to him, the largest crypto exchanges are already preparing for a significant transition of real assets to on-chain format, which will change the financial landscape.
The head of Gate believes that traditional banks have already yielded to stablecoins in the role of payment technologies. However, this does not mean that banks are exiting the market: they are adapting, increasingly using stablecoins to expedite settlements and cross-border payments.
According to Han, banks are beginning to view stablecoins not as a threat to deposits but as a technological tool for optimizing financial processes. Gate, for its part, is focused on developing infrastructure and integrating existing solutions, with no plans to issue its own token.
Tokenization, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Market
The head of Gate predicts that in the coming years, stocks, metals, and commodities will gradually transition to 24/7 blockchain platforms. This will give crypto exchanges an advantage over traditional financial venues due to increased liquidity and constant trading availability.
Lin Han pays particular attention to the development of real payments using cryptocurrencies and the integration of artificial intelligence. He is convinced that the combination of AI and blockchain will be a catalyst for the mass adoption of digital assets in the financial ecosystem.
At Gate, it is believed that the market is moving towards the creation of a global financial ecosystem, where crypto infrastructure will play the role of a fundamental settlement layer. In the opinion of the exchange’s head, the key factor for growth is not so much price dynamics as the practical application of technologies in the real sector of the economy.
