A few weeks ago, we put the crypto exchange Gate.io on our Orange Compliance List due to obvious regulatory problems, and recently, the Austrian Financial Market Authority FMA issued a warning against ClavisChain and in this context also against Gate.io. The FMA failed to provide further explanations in its investor warning. ClavisChain looks like a clone of Gate.io. We advise all traders to exercise extreme caution with ClavisChain and Gate.
The Gate.io crypto exchange has been active for many years. It was founded in Hong Kong by Lin Han in 2017. The website does not provide any information about the regulations. One can only send a request via email. In December 2021, the Italian Consob blocked the website, and in February 2022, the Spanish CNMV issued a warning. We have added Gate.io to our Red Compliance list. Here is the compliance check.
