Gate, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its decision to discontinue trading support for three digital assets: BreadToken (BRD), Lend Finance (LND), and Autonomous Chain (ATC). This move comes after a thorough evaluation of these assets against Gate's rigorous standards and industry benchmarks. The cessation of trading will take effect on 2025-09-17 at 03:00 (UTC).

The exchange's review process encompasses various crucial factors, including but not limited to, the dedication of project teams, ongoing development activities, trading volumes, network robustness, community engagement levels, adherence to regulatory requirements, and any indications of unethical practices.

As part of this transition, all spot trading pairs associated with BRD, LND, and ATC will be removed from the platform. Gate will automatically cancel any outstanding orders after the trading cut-off time. Concurrently, the exchange will terminate its Automated Trading services for these pairs. Users are strongly encouraged to modify or cancel their existing Automated Trading settings to mitigate potential financial risks.

Furthermore, Gate's Social Trading feature will cease support for these pairs earlier, on 2025-09-10 at 03:00 (UTC). Any remaining assets in Social Trading portfolios will be either liquidated or transferred to users' Spot Accounts if selling is not feasible. Users are advised to adjust their Social Trading portfolios prior to this date to ensure a smooth transition.

The exchange has outlined additional important dates for users to note:
- Deposits for these tokens will not be processed after 2025-09-18 03:00 (UTC).
- Withdrawal support will be discontinued after 2025-11-17 03:00 (UTC).

Following 2025-11-18 03:00 (UTC), Gate may convert any delisted tokens into stablecoins on behalf of users, although this conversion is not guaranteed. It's worth noting that derivatives trading for these tokens on Gate's platform remains unaffected by this decision. However, the exchange reserves the right to implement protective measures during periods of high market volatility.

Other services on the Gate platform, including but not limited to Earn products, Dual-Currency products, Mining services, Lending, Margin trading, Instant Swap, Fiat Gateway, Gift Cards, and Payment services, will also phase out support for these tokens according to specific timelines set by the exchange.

This strategic move by Gate underscores the exchange's commitment to maintaining a robust and compliant trading environment for its users. By regularly reviewing and adjusting its listed assets, Gate aims to uphold the integrity of its platform and protect the interests of its user base in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
