Gate.io Group launches Dubai-licensed OTC crypto block trading
Gate OTC has partnered with Cynopsis Solutions and Coinfirm to ensure security and regulatory compliance measures on the platform which features 24/7 one-on-one professional advisor support and on-demand customer service.
Gate.io Group has launched an over-the-counter trading platform that provides fully-licensed OTC crypto trading services catered to institutions and high-net-worth individuals.
Gate OTC supports several mainstream cryptocurrencies and offers its services in various countries around the world.
The launch of Gate OTC follows the successful application for a DMCC license in Dubai by Gate MENA.DMCC stands for Dubai Multi Commodities Centre and the license will allow Gate MENA to engage in proprietary trading in crypto commodities, compliant with United Arab Emirates regulations, including KYC, AML, and CFT regulatory standards.
Increase in demand for high-quality OTC services
Tom Yang, EVP at Gate.io Group, said: “We’ve seen an increase in demand for high-quality OTC services, especially from big players entering crypto from traditional finance. To meet our existing and future clients’ ever-growing needs, we’ve launched a dedicated and robust OTC platform with security, comprehensivity, and convenience at its core.”
The over the counter service offered by Gate.io Group will facilitate large block trades while retaining privacy and minimizing the impact on market price.
Trading through Gate OTC, or any other OTC platform, offers investors an alternative to executing large trades on the buy/sell market order book as these can have heavy price impacts, long execution times, and increased risk.
Transacting directly with the OTC platform reduces such risks as trades are based on quotes with locked-in pricing and executed independently of the order books.
Gate OTC has partnered with Cynopsis Solutions and Coinfirm to ensure security and regulatory compliance measures on the platform which features 24/7 one-on-one professional advisor support and on-demand customer service.
Gate.io Group boasts a cryptocurrency exchange, public blockchain, decentralized finance, research and analysis, venture capital investing, wallet services, and startup incubator labs.
Crypto solution for brokers and market makers
Gate.io has recently launched an institutional services arm that provides the tools needed to help institutions increase their crypto exposure.
“Gate Institutional” will cater to Market Makers (MM) and Brokers in a mixed time for the crypto industry: adoption has never been as high, but the current market crash has raised alarm among retail and institutional players.
Gate io’s Market Maker program supports some of the leading cryptocurrencies in the world with flexible trade strategies, a frequency of 900r/s for order placement, 5000r/s for order cancellations, and support for over 300 connections through WebSocket.
The Broker Program supports three types of brokers – Portal, API, and Exchange. Each type of broker will earn rewards and bonuses based on their platform use.
The digital asset exchange has more than 1,300 coins and tokens listed on its platform with over 10 million registered users.
As to the Market Maker Incentive Program, Gate.io aims to promote its premium services by offering rewards to top liquidity providers: from a $200,000 monthly prize pool to a free 30 day VIP+1 experience, interest free loans worth up to $4 million, exclusive COLO services with millisecond updates, and more.
In order to participate in this campaign, all accounts on Gate.io or new accounts from other platforms must have exceeded trading volumes of 3000 BTC in the preceding 30 days through either spot or contract trading, said the firm, adding that users with a VIP membership between Level 8 and Level 15 are invited to participate in the campaign.
The exchange offers spot, margin, futures and contract trading in addition to DeFi products through Hipo DeFi, custodial services through Wallet.io, investments through Gate Labs and its dedicated GateChain platform.
