Crypto exchange Gate launches spot trading services in the US

Crypto exchange Gate is launching in the United States, offering spot trading services to US customers for the first time. Founded in 2013 by Chinese scientist Lin Han, the company cited improved regulatory clarity in the country as the reason behind the move.

According to Gate, it will initially offer crypto trading pairs for US customers, with upcoming services for fiat on- and off-ramps and support for custodial wallets. As of July 24, the exchange offered over 3,800 trading pairs on its platform, one of the largest asset varieties in the market.

Spot trading volume on Gate reached $6.8 billion in the past 24-hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

“As a strategic hub in the global crypto landscape, the United States has long held a significant position in areas such as digital finance regulation, technological innovation, and capital market development, attracting major crypto platforms from around the world,” the company said in a statement.

The move comes as crypto exchanges are reentering the United States amid increased regulatory clarity. After President Trump promised to make the US “the world capital of crypto,” lawmakers have introduced bills aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for digital assets, including the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act.
