Gate: its public record
Gate’s public record: a MiCA authorisation, no New York licence, a Dubai licence, 1 hack ($235.0m) and no US enforcement documents since 2024 naming it.
Gate holds a MiCA authorisation in the EU through Malta, first granted on 29 September 2025. It isn’t on New York’s list of virtual currency licensees. In Dubai, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority lists Gate Technology FZE as licensed, from 25 April 2025. The hacks ledger records 1 hack of the company itself with a known loss, $235.0m in all, on 21 April 2018. No US enforcement document in the ledger, which is complete from January 2024, lists it among the firms it mentions.

What this record can’t tell you
This is the public record, not a safety rating or advice. It can’t show how a company holds customers’ money today, whether it is solvent, how it treats complaints, or cases outside the US. The enforcement ledger is complete from January 2024 and holds only some earlier documents. Matching is by name, so a firm with another name can be missed, and a record can lag the latest events. Every figure comes from the ledgers, each with its source: all 27 exchanges and apps compared.
