F1 News: Red Bull replaces ByBit with Gate.io crypto exchange

Oracle Red Bull Racing, the eight-time World Driver’s Championship winning team, announced Gate.io, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, as exclusive Crypto-Exchange Partner, in a multi-year deal.

This collaboration marks a major milestone in uniting two industry leaders, both recognized for their relentless pursuit of performance, innovation, and cutting-edge technology—on the racetrack and in the digital economy.

Starting from the 2025 season, Gate.io branding will feature prominently on key Team assets, including the rear wing, nose and headrest of the Oracle Red Bull Racing car, driver and pit crew suits, Team kit and on the helmet of four-time World Champion, Max Verstappen.

Founded in 2013, Gate.io is one of the world’s earliest and most established cryptocurrency exchanges, with a user base exceeding 20 million worldwide. Over the past 12 years, Gate.io has expanded beyond trading to become a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem, driving innovation in secure digital asset trading, decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain infrastructure, venture capital investment, and Web3 technologies.

Oracle Red Bull Racing has set new standards in F1, winning back-to-back championships since 2021 through engineering excellence, data-driven precision, and a relentless drive for victory. Similarly, Gate.io continues to define the future of blockchain technology, pioneering user-verifiable exchange reserves to enhance trust, transparency, and security in the crypto space.

This partnership is built on a shared vision for innovation and leadership. Just as Oracle Red Bull Racing relentlessly competes on the track with precision and agility, Gate.io continues to push the boundaries of blockchain infrastructure, optimizing speed, security, and scalability to support the next generation of crypto-exchange technology.

“We are very excited to welcome Gate.io to the Team. Gate.io are a brand that very much share Oracle Red Bull Racing’s passion to exist at the forefront of technological innovation,” said Christian Horner, CEO and Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing.

“Together, we look forward to building a more immersive and unique connection with the Team for fans around the world and to working with a like-minded partner that isn’t afraid to disrupt the status quo.”

“At Gate.io, we believe that innovation and performance go hand in hand—whether in blockchain or on the racetrack,” added Dr. Lin Han, the founder and CEO of Gate.io.

“Just as Oracle Red Bull Racing pushes the limits of engineering, we are continuously advancing blockchain technology to bring greater transparency, speed, and efficiency to digital finance. This partnership comes at a time when blockchain is moving beyond finance, and we’re excited to explore new ways it can intersect with global industries like motorsport.”
