In the rapidly changing business world, unicorn companies are not only symbols of valuation, but also a comprehensive reflection of technology, model and vision. In the past 12 years, cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io has quietly completed the strategic upgrade from a "tool platform" to "infrastructure", and has grown from a small matchmaking platform to the world's leading crypto financial ecosystem.

When the unicorn further breaks through the ceiling, has global influence, a larger user size and business layout, it enters the ranks of super unicorns. Super unicorn companies not only have valuations of tens of billions of dollars, but also have the ability to change the industry landscape and lead the evolution of next-generation technologies or infrastructure.

"We are moving towards the 'next generation of super unicorn exchanges' -this is not only a leap in valuation, but also a comprehensive evolution of capabilities and mission," said Dr. Han, founder of Gate.io.

Beyond transactions and build the "base" of the Web3 world

In Gate.io 's view, future exchanges are not just intermediaries for asset circulation, but also a super hub connecting global digital assets and users. It requires five core abilities:

●Serve billions of users: Whether it is a novice user or a professional organization, you can find a customized experience;

● Support millions of assets: covering mainstream currencies, innovative projects, DeFi, NFT and even RWA (real asset tokenization);

●Execute billions of transactions: high-frequency trading engine to ensure extreme stability and second-level matching;

●Triplegian funds are custodial: security is not a slogan, but a collective presentation of code, risk control and culture;

●Comprehensive compliance and adaptation to global supervision: proactively connect policies to empower the healthy development of industry compliance.

Betting on cutting-edge tracks: RWA, DeFi and chain game layout

Regarding future technological trends, Dr. Han also mentioned in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraoh Chinese that decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain gaming (GameFi) and real-world asset tokenization (RWA) will be important growth points in the crypto industry.

Gate.io has made advance arrangements in these fields: in terms of DeFi, the platform not only continues to build its own ecosystem, but also supports cross-chain, decentralized transactions and contract security through infrastructure such as GateChain, and actively incubates high-quality DeFi projects through innovation zones, LaunchPool, Gate Ventures and other channels; in the field of chain games, Gate.io participates in investment incubation, selection of projects and supports Launchpad, LaunchPool and NFT markets to help excellent game projects reach global players quickly; in the RWA field, the company is accelerating product and service innovation, focusing on the application exploration of compliant stablecoins, tokenized bonds, tokenized commodities and other projects, and will support the circulation and popularization of real assets through more flexible listing and trading mechanisms in the future.

Deeply cultivate the "marginal market" and spread global compliance

Now the market structure is becoming stable, with giants such as Binance and OKX occupying the main trading volume, and the trend of the strong being always strong seems to be a foregone conclusion. But in this seemingly solidified pattern, Gate.io has embarked on a unique breakthrough path -starting from the marginal market, deepening the world with compliance, and building an ecosystem with innovation.

Dr. Han said in an interview with Cointelegraph Chinese: "In a rapidly evolving industry, the head pattern is not static. I believe that only by truly understanding user needs, maintaining technological innovation, and adhering to compliance and transparency can we travel through the cycle and continuously win a broader space in the global market. This is also the reason why we always adhere to long-termism."

Super unicorns are not necessarily born in the spotlight. But it will eventually go to the center of the stage at the right time.
