Gate lists more than 4,800 digital assets and backs that up with a MiCA licence in the EU and a Japan-licensed subsidiary. We checked its fee schedule after an April 2026 change, its proof of reserves, and its US state coverage against its app listing.
Gate's own site sits behind a wall our capture tool could not clear, so we built this review from the exchange's app listings, its CoinMarketCap profile, and the regulatory filings other outlets have already verified against the primary source. None of that changes what matters to a trader deciding whether to fund an account: what it costs to trade, how many assets are actually listed, and whether the licences Gate advertises hold up to a second look.
The catalog number holds up under scrutiny
Gate's CoinMarketCap-reported profile lists more than 4,800 digital assets alongside 12,500-plus tokenized stock assets, a combination that puts it ahead of most centralized rivals on raw breadth. The same profile states the exchange serves over 58 million users globally and ranks second worldwide by 24-hour spot volume. Those are self-reported figures relayed through an independent tracker rather than an audited count, but CoinMarketCap's listing methodology at least means the numbers are not simply pulled from Gate's own marketing copy without any external check.
Licensing is the part that actually differentiates Gate
Plenty of large exchanges list thousands of tokens. Fewer of them pair that with real licensing, and Gate Technology Ltd holds a MiCA crypto-asset service provider licence passported across 29 EEA member states, plus a completed 2024 acquisition of a Japan-licensed exchange that gave the group a regulated foothold in Asia. That does not mean Gate operates everywhere legally: its own user agreement blocks the UK, Singapore, and most of Western Europe on the main offshore platform, and American users are routed to a separate entity, Gate US, rather than served directly. The Play Store listing for the Gate app advertises being "Licensed in 40+ States," a claim that lines up with Gate US holding Money Transmitter Licences across that many US states rather than a single federal charter.
