🚀 Crypto Wallets Are Evolving!
Gate Research says crypto wallets are no longer just for storing coins. Now, they are All-in-One platforms where you can:

Use AI for faster and smarter trading
💡 Exchanges (CEXs) are also changing. Some of their functions are moving to wallets, but CEXs are adding on-chain features to stay competitive.
