Cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io has announced a strategic partnership with regulated digital asset custodian Komainu. The collaboration aims to provide institutional clients with secure, efficient, and risk-managed crypto trading solutions.
The core of the partnership enables institutional traders to access Gate.io's deep liquidity while keeping their assets in Komainu's regulated, segregated custody. This is facilitated through the Komainu Connect network. A key feature of the service is the support for an off-exchange settlement (OES) model, which helps mitigate counterparty risk and enhances security for users.
Gate.io framed the alliance as more than a standard partnership, stating it will deliver "frictionless services" and address exposure concerns. The joint effort is designed to ensure transparency, security, and seamless asset movement for institutional participants, while also aiming to empower better risk management and provide access to advanced trading tools.
Separately, Gate.io has launched its 13th Anniversary Global Celebration campaign under the theme "Your Gateway to iWeb3." The initiative includes a series of events such as conversations with the founder, global industry exchanges, and closed-door dinners, intended to bring together users and partners to reflect on the platform's journey and explore future opportunities in the evolving Web3 landscape.
