#Gate全球合规版图扩展 Compliance capabilities are becoming as critical a barrier as liquidity.

Why compliance is becoming increasingly important
Institutional funds only enter licensed platforms: without U.S. licenses and auditable custody, compliance departments won't approve them.
Offshore arbitrage opportunities are shrinking: the EU's MiCA is now fully in effect, and the Middle East and Southeast Asia are also tightening regulations.
Smaller platforms are being squeezed out first: AscendEX, for example, halted services over licensing and compliance issues.

How to view Gate's footprint

Broad coverage: 81 jurisdictions spanning crypto trading, custody, payments, and other areas.
Its strength lies in securing high-value licenses in several key markets, with separate licenses in each jurisdiction. This carries more weight than simply having a large number of licenses.
High-value licenses: It holds Malta MiCA and Dubai VARA licenses, as well as Japan FSA and Australia AUSTRAC registrations.
Separate licenses in each region: In Europe, it has both a Lithuania registration and a Malta MiCA license, providing greater resilience to regulatory risks.
Broad coverage of U.S. state licenses: Gate US has obtained about 30 state money transmitter licenses, covering 40 jurisdictions.
High reserve transparency: Its total reserve ratio is about 127%, disclosed using zero-knowledge proofs; RootData ranks it second globally for transparency.

These licenses can help Gate enter more markets and make it easier to attract institutional funds.
