In late 2021, Italy’s financial watchdog CONSOB dropped the hammer on several financial websites it says were illegally promoting trading products in the country.
The long list of blocked websites, which included Gate Technology Corp (internet domains www.gate.io, www.gateio.rocks, www.gateio.ws), belong to entities that are not allowed to offer financial services in Italy but continue to solicit investments from locals.
