Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han took the stage at the Oxford Debate Society to share his 13-year entrepreneurial journey from a one-person company to global development

On November 12, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han was invited to speak at the Oxford Union, delivering a keynote speech titled "Start Alone," reflecting on his 13 years of entrepreneurial journey since founding Gate alone in 2013. He shared experiences and thoughts on entrepreneurial resilience, rapid innovation, team building, and opportunities for entrepreneurship in the AI era.Dr. Han stated that the founding of Gate stemmed from his early experiences of losses incurred through trading on online forums. To create a more trustworthy digital asset trading platform, he started his business alone without external venture capital support. Since then, Gate has experienced multiple industry fluctuations and significant business challenges, gradually growing through continuous innovation and adjustments. He emphasized that maintaining a strong long-term belief, quickly seizing new opportunities, and continuously improving innovation and execution efficiency are crucial factors for companies to face challenges and achieve long-term development.Regarding the AI era, Dr. Han proposed the "Boss + AI" model, pointing out that AI can significantly enhance information acquisition, knowledge learning, and daily work efficiency, empowering individual entrepreneurs with stronger execution capabilities. At the same time, he emphasized that "Start Alone" does not mean always going it alone; entrepreneurs must have the courage to take the first step independently while also seeking suitable partners and team members during the development process. Through this keynote speech at the Oxford Union, Dr. Han brought Gate's 13 years of entrepreneurial journey into a broader industry discussion and, drawing from years of personal practice, provided insights and inspiration for a new generation of entrepreneurs.

first_img The European Banking Authority calls for the inclusion of crypto lending in the MiCA regulatory framework

The European Banking Authority (EBA) calls for the inclusion of crypto lending in the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework. In response to the European Commission's targeted consultation on MiCA, the EBA stated that lending activities involving crypto assets should be regulated, including situations where crypto asset service providers offer users access to decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols.The EBA recommends that the European Commission conduct a cost-benefit analysis for legislative amendments, considering the inclusion of intermediary crypto lending in the MiCA regulatory service list, and potentially adding specific compliance requirements and supervisory activities. The agency also suggested that corresponding requirements should be set for crypto companies providing customers access to DeFi lending protocols.Potential measures listed by the EBA include user suitability testing, leverage limits, and additional information disclosure requirements. The regulatory body also proposed that access to lending involving assets that require MiCA authorization, such as reference tokens or electronic money tokens, may be restricted, and a certification system should be introduced for DeFi lending protocols. The EBA noted that crypto lending is continuously growing within the EU, with previous studies showing lending activities in at least 16 member states; easier access to DeFi through crypto companies and artificial intelligence tools is increasingly blurring the lines between centralized and decentralized finance. The above recommendations are part of the EBA's overall opinion on the European Commission's review of MiCA, which also covers stablecoin rules, crypto asset classification, and reporting requirements.

first_img The dispute over AMC tokenized stocks is spreading, with intense debates in the industry about three issuance models

According to The Defiant, the dispute between AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron and Robinhood over tokenized AMC stock has escalated into a debate among tokenized stock issuers about which model should become the industry standard.Gabriel Otte, co-founder of Dinari, criticized Robinhood's synthetic tokens with Ondo as "worse for end investors than regular stocks," while Uniswap founder Hayden Adams compared it to early stablecoins, stating that it meets users' demands for programmability and 24/7 trading.Currently, three models are competing in the $2.91 billion tokenized stock market: Robinhood's stock tokens are debt securities issued by a Jersey entity, available only to non-U.S. persons; Ondo, xStocks, and Dinari hold the underlying stocks through regulated intermediaries and pass on economic benefits; Securitize and Superstate directly put company-registered stocks on-chain. The U.S. SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has legally defined the three models as of January 28. Data from rwa.xyz shows that the total scale of tokenized stocks reaches $2.91 billion, with a 14.4% growth over 30 days, and Ondo leads with $869.6 million.Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo also supports Aron's position, stating that he does not wish for others to create offshore derivatives of company stocks. Brian Huang, co-founder of Glider, believes that the trading venue is more important than the packaging format, as AMMs cannot guarantee users the best execution.

first_img Bitcoin's correlation with gold has risen to a six-year high, Bitwise states that depreciation hedging trades are making a comeback

Bitwise's latest report shows that the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has risen to a six-year high. Bitwise's Head of Research for Europe, André Dragosch, stated that the last time the correlation reached this level was in 2020, during the period of multiple fiscal and monetary stimulus following the COVID-19 pandemic; meanwhile, the correlation between Bitcoin and the stock market has dropped to a one-year low, suggesting a decoupling between hard assets and the stock market.The report believes that the simultaneous rise of Bitcoin and gold is due to the "substantial intervention in the macro picture" by the U.S. government. Last month, the U.S. Treasury announced it would more than double the scale of government debt buybacks, leading to a weakening of the dollar, and investors flocked back to gold and Bitcoin; in the same week, U.S. public debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, further undermining market confidence in the dollar. Bitwise stated that investors are no longer entangled in whether to hedge against currency depreciation with gold or Bitcoin, but are holding both simultaneously, and pointed out that "Bitcoin has been priced as a risk asset for its first fifteen years, and if this correlation trend continues, the next fifteen years could be very different."Driven by this, Bitcoin rose again this week, increasing nearly 6% within 24 hours, with the price briefly approaching $81,438.
