Gate founder Dr. Han: Gold represents a safe floor, Bitcoin bets on a future ceiling.

Huoxun Finance reported on January 30th that, according to official sources, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his views on the market positioning of gold and Bitcoin on the X platform. Dr. Han pointed out that against the backdrop of rising global political and economic uncertainty, gold prices have reached new historical highs, and market volatility has also significantly increased, with funds seeking certainty again. Dr. Han believes that although the market has long compared Bitcoin and gold, the two are fundamentally different. Gold's continued allocation during turbulent periods stems from its "safety floor" attribute, which has been repeatedly verified throughout thousands of years of history; while Bitcoin has never been defined as a safe-haven asset, its value logic is more reflected in betting on future growth potential. As the participation of traditional financial assets in the crypto market continues to increase, Gate has recently accelerated its layout in the TradeFi field, gradually expanding into trading categories such as precious metals, forex, indices, and stocks. According to CoinGlass data, the 24-hour trading volume of GateXAUT (gold) contracts exceeded $483 million, ranking third globally.
