Thanking Gate, 13 years in crypto with you by my side every day Our Gate exchange is 13 years old! First, sending birthday wishes: wishing Gate exchange prosperity and customers flowing in like clouds. May the business be radiant like the midday sun, thriving continuously; may users grow like bamboo shoots after rain, expanding rapidly; may trading volume surge like rivers and seas, unstoppable, AI matrix becoming the lobster of crypto, blazing hot across the board! May Gate become the #1 exchange in the universe. For the next 20 or even 50 years, we'll still be together!
In 2013, when I first entered the crypto world, I found Gate exchange, then called "Bter", through a Baidu search. Unlike other traditional exchanges, Gate at that time was the hub for altcoins, encompassing dozens of quality tokens. Black Coin, Infinitecoin—I still have vague memories of these names. And there was "Dogecoin", which I now adore and was my first altcoin that made profits in crypto. Back then the price was around 0.001 yuan, and I gained about 10x returns. My first encounter with Gate was beautiful.
In 2015, Bitcoin entered a bull market, and altcoins took off collectively. My account returns also grew proportionally. Events proved that Gate's differentiated strategy of focusing on altcoins was effective. I continued trading on Gate because of its excellent user experience, smooth deposits and withdrawals, and instant problem resolution. These deeply won my heart.
In 2017, after "9·4", regulatory policies tightened. Gate rebranded and went overseas, and I once felt homeless. But finally I found Gate.io after the rebrand, and I immediately chose to return and stay loyal. Since then, Gate became my solid backing. During those most difficult days, it didn't run away like some small platforms, nor did any major security incidents occur. Instead, Gate continuously optimized platform security and stability, rolling out a series of risk control measures, allowing me to safely hold my digital assets.
In 2019, cryptocurrency faced the harshest bear market in history. Bitcoin dropped to $3,000 at one point, and I experienced the most severe liquidation in my life—all assets became zero overnight. Unprecedented helplessness and despair, even suicidal thoughts filled my heart. During that time, all I did was lurk in Gate's chat room, sharing my misfortunes while watching fellow crypto enthusiasts in the same boat. Perhaps the gloomy emotions were relieved, or perhaps seeing so many others like me persisting gave me strength. I slowly moved through that period, but I still remember—during the darkest days, Gate accompanied me.
In 2020, Gate.io issued platform token GT with innovative gameplay that caught my eye. The model of locking positions for lottery draws was both fair and fun, and GT's price rose accordingly. I gradually understood that Gate.io is not just a trading venue, but an innovation lab. It continuously launches new features like leveraged trading, perpetual futures, Launchpool, etc., allowing me to learn and grow through trading. Every participation in new projects deepens my market understanding and tests my risk tolerance.

Fast forward to 2026, spot trading volume ranks second globally, supporting over 4400 crypto assets with daily trading volume of approximately $5.714 billion, achieving 117x growth over nine years; futures trading ranks third globally, supporting 600+ crypto assets with daily trading volume of approximately $36.913 billion, achieving 141x growth over seven years. Strengthened compliance investment with cross-industry partnerships like F1 Red Bull and Inter Milan football club. Launched TradFi and GateAI, leading the industry forward. Gate has grown from an industry newcomer to today's leader. I'm honored to have walked this journey with Gate.
What other surprises will Gate bring us in the future? Let's witness it together.
