Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han has advocated for an 'AI + human intelligence' approach to crypto trading, arguing that artificial intelligence can support traders without replacing human judgment. According to reports from Gatecast, Dr. Han stated that AI can process large volumes of market information quickly but emphasized that traders must still assess that information before acting. The CEO described this combination as a more effective model than relying entirely on automated systems, positioning AI as an assistant rather than a replacement for human decision-making. This approach aligns with broader industry trends, as BCG's 2026 asset management report found that agentic AI workflows could increase operational capacity by 55% to 65% while reducing costs by around 40%, allowing portfolio managers to focus more on strategy and client relationships while AI handles routine monitoring and rebalancing.
Dr. Han identified significant barriers preventing users from entering the Web3 ecosystem, including the need to choose among millions of tokens and navigate tens of thousands of decentralized applications. As reported by Gatecast, these choices, combined with the learning required to use decentralized products, keep potential users outside the sector. The CEO suggested that AI could become a gateway by helping users locate relevant services and understand how decentralized products work, potentially reducing the time spent researching separate protocols, assets and trading tools.
AI is quietly transforming portfolio management through continuous monitoring and rebalancing rather than traditional quarterly reviews. According to Mercer's survey of 131 asset managers globally, 55% have already integrated AI into at least one investment process, with 91% planning to increase that use over the next 12 months. The technology addresses common investor psychology issues where people hold losers too long and trim winners too late, as AI evaluates every position daily without emotional attachment. FINQ launched the first SEC-registered ETFs managed entirely by AI in February 2026, with AIUP returning 15.30% from inception through May 31, 2026 compared to 10.07% for the S&P 500. Notable rotations included exiting ServiceNow after a 24% gain when the model identified better opportunities, and moving from Datadog to T-Mobile US when the latter moved higher in rankings.
Gate is developing several products under its Intelligent Web3 strategy, including Gate AI, GateClaw and Gate for AI Agent. According to the CEO's statements, these services are designed to integrate artificial intelligence into the company's trading ecosystem to simplify product interactions and reduce the amount of knowledge required before users can explore Web3. Dr. Han indicated that the exchange plans to continue developing intelligent products that make decentralized services easier to access, maintaining that traders remain responsible for final decisions while AI handles information organization and signal identification.
Dr. Han's comments come as Washington considers de facto restrictions on Chinese open-source models following Moonshot AI's 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 topping major coding leaderboards. As reported by crypto.news, parts of the Trump administration have discussed restrictions on Chinese models after Moonshot AI's development allegedly used Anthropic technology. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, accused Moonshot AI of using Anthropic's Fable model to develop Kimi K3, though no technical records or evidence were released supporting these allegations.
