Gate presents “The Power of Now” series — live in Dubai!
This time, it’s Gate’s turn to take the stage in Dubai. As one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, Gate has officially landed and begun operations in the region

What is Gate?
gate.com may be a new domain and Gate a new name, but the company itself is not new. gate.io has been around for 12 years and is still widely recognized.
Founded in 2013, Gate has grown into a global crypto exchange with more than 36 million users worldwide. Today, it ranks among the top three exchanges by trading volume and open interest.
In Chinese culture, every 12 years marks the completion of a cycle. At this 12-year milestone, Gate is undergoing major transformation: expanding its reach, refreshing its brand, and setting bold new goals.
A 12-Year Turning Point
Chinese wisdom seems to align with Gate’s journey. At this exact 12-year mark, Gate has sponsored some of the biggest names in sports, including Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 earlier this year and Milan since last November. The company has secured major licenses across the globe, including VARA in Dubai, and will host its own music festival in Singapore this coming October. Gate has also refreshed its branding and visuals while bringing in top talent from across the industry. Taken together, these moves signal that Gate is emerging as a strong force in the Web 3.0 space.
As Dr. Han, Gate’s CEO, has said: “I want Gate to be the gateway to crypto.” At the WebX Conference in Japan, he added: “Finance is going on-chain, Web3 adoption is unstoppable.” His vision is ambitious, and he is clearly positioning Gate at the forefront of Web 3.0.
Dubai, Gate, and the Power of Now
Dubai is one of the world’s leading cities for Web 3.0, aiming to become a global hub by attracting projects and companies with an open and welcoming approach. With opportunities come challenges, especially around regulation. This is why VARA was introduced.
VARA is currently the most recognized license crypto companies can obtain to operate in Dubai, and Gate received it this April. Now is the perfect moment for Gate to begin its journey in Dubai, and for Dubai to welcome another strong player to the region. Together, they can drive new opportunities in talent, business, collaboration, and Web 3.0 education.
The “Power of Now” Series
The “Power of Now” event series is an initiative from the Gate MENA Team. Their goal is to create a unique space for guests to gain valuable insights, take a mindful pause, and explore the world of crypto and Web 3.0.
The first “episode” of the series will take place on September 16, 2025, timed just before the autumn crypto season. This event will help attendees prepare for the busy months ahead in the global crypto industry.
The first episode, “The Present,” will explore themes at the intersection of AI, art, social media growth, and entrepreneurship. Art plays a key role, as more artists are entering the crypto space, and their stories reveal powerful trends worth discussing. Guests will also experience exhibitions by well-known local artists.
Imagine an event that combines insightful panels with immersive art and visuals. It promises to be one of the most unique events in Dubai, captivating from start to finish and leaving guests feeling refreshed, inspired, and empowered to embrace the “NOW.”
