According to BlockBeats, on September 4th, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han delivered a keynote speech at the WebX 2025 Summit in Tokyo, systematically elaborating on the critical role of centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in driving the mass adoption of Web3. Dr. Han noted that the long-term trend of user growth, the dual-track evolution of market structure, and the trade-offs between security and compliance are collectively shaping a new landscape where "CEXs serve as global capital gateways and DEXs serve as engines of on-chain finance and innovation." Citing data, Dr. Han reported that there are nearly 700 million crypto users worldwide, representing 10% of the global population, and that the total crypto market capitalization has reached $3.02 trillion, officially making it the world's fourth-largest asset. He predicted that by 2030, crypto assets are expected to reach $41.8 trillion, second only to gold. In terms of trading volume, DEXs already account for 23% of spot trading volume, and the locked-in value of CEXs and DEXs is nearly equal. However, security and compliance remain key challenges, with 59% of hacker attacks occurring on DEX and Web3 platforms. Gate has obtained licenses in multiple jurisdictions and acquired a licensed trading platform in Japan, continuously strengthening its global compliance footprint. Dr. Han stated that the future of Web3 isn't determined by whether DEX replaces CEX, but rather by how the two complement each other. He reiterated his firm belief in the future of Web3: "The next generation of financial order will be built on-chain, and the widespread adoption of Web3 is not a choice but an inevitability."
