History
Gate.io launched in 2013 as Bter.com, originally based in China. It was among the first altcoin trading platforms. After China's 2017 crypto ban the team moved to Panama and rebranded.
In 2018 the exchange launched the GT token via IEO, raising $400,000 in 10 minutes. GT provides fee discounts and Startup access. In 2019 Gate.io introduced PoS staking for passive income.
Monthly trading volume exceeded $200 billion by 2022. Gate.io has maintained a flawless security record — zero hacks since inception, a rare achievement in crypto.
