Gate Secures EU Payment License, Boosting Crypto‑Finance Trust

Gate Technology Ltd. has just earned a Payment Institution license from Malta’s financial regulator, marking the first time a crypto‑native firm in Europe has achieved this level of approval under PSD2. The move gives Gate a passport to offer regulated payment services across the EU, strengthening its goal of linking traditional banking with Web3 tools. \n\nThe licence confirms Gate’s long‑term plan to build secure, scalable bridges between legacy finance and the emerging digital asset world. CEO Giovanni Cunti said the approval reflects his team’s hard work and positions Gate to deliver compliant payment solutions throughout Europe. He added that the license lays a solid foundation for future services and offers certainty to both institutional and retail customers. \n\nGate’s success follows earlier regulatory wins in Malta, where it already holds a full MiCA license for exchange and custody.These achievements are part of a global compliance strategy that spans Cyprus, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia and Dubai. Malta’s clear, forward‑looking rules make it an ideal hub for Gate’s European operations. \n\nWith PSD2, Gate can now extend its payment offerings to all EU member states. The licence also signals the company’s commitment to regulatory excellence and its ability to merge traditional finance mechanisms with Web3 applications. As the European crypto scene evolves, Gate is poised to lead in innovation, transparency and trust. \n\nGate was founded in 2013. Its platform, Gate. com, serves more than 49 million users worldwide and ranks among the top three crypto exchanges by market share. \n\n
