Gate Exchange plans to enter the compliant Japanese market by the end of the year, targeting high-penetration regions. Web3 finance transformation accelerates in APAC markets with institutional support.
Has China joined the crypto treasury strategy?
Du Jun, co-founder of ABCDE, noted that Chinese institutions were a step behind in digital asset storage strategies, also known as the MicroStrategy model. However, he said they have quickly caught on and begun to follow suit. Little is known about such strategies by Chinese companies.
Du Jun revealed that there are invitations to participate in five such initiatives in the works. Three of them involve Ethereum DATs, while two focus on Solana. One ETH DAT is launching with 300,000 Token as an initial size.
DayDayCook is one of the few examples from China in this space. The US-listed Chinese food brand bought 100 Bitcoins worth $10.4 million. CEO Norma Chu aims to reach 5,000 BTC in the next three years.
Gate CEO: Web3 Finance is inevitable, plans to launch in Japan
Gate Group CEO Lin Han announced plans to enter the Japanese market. The exchange is looking to launch in compliance by the end of the year with a valid license. Currently, Japan has a cryptocurrency penetration rate of 15% of the population.
Han spoke at the WebX 2025 conference in Tokyo, highlighting the trend of global cryptocurrency adoption. The number of users worldwide has reached 700 million, accounting for 10% of the population. Some regions, such as the UAE and Singapore, have a penetration rate of 20%.
According to Han's prediction, DeFi will surpass Centralized Finance . However, DEX platforms face more security vulnerabilities than CEXs. This is still a serious concern that needs the industry's attention.
