Gate Founder Dr. Han: Gate's early completion of MiCA licensing will push the European crypto market towards fair competition.
According to ChainCatcher, CoinDesk reports that with the full implementation of the EU's Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCA), the European digital asset market has entered a new era of unified regulation. Regarding the impact of MiCA on the industry landscape, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han stated in an interview that Gate began its European compliance preparations several years ago and completed its MiCA and Payment Institution (PI) license preparations ahead of schedule in 2025. He pointed out that the significance of MiCA lies not only in establishing a unified regulatory framework, but more importantly, in putting all market participants on a level playing field. "Only when all platforms adhere to the same rules can the industry truly compete around products, services, and user experience." He also stated that if unauthorized platforms continue to provide services to European users, a level playing field will remain a challenge, making effective regulatory enforcement equally crucial. Currently, Gate Europe is leveraging its MiCA and PI licenses to continuously improve its compliance system, risk management, and operational governance capabilities, and is continuously deepening its global compliance strategy. In addition to Europe, multiple Gate entities have completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, or obtained authorizations and approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, the United States, Australia, and Dubai. Through multi-regional regulatory approvals, Gate has solidified its global business foundation and continues to provide global users with safer, more transparent, and more efficient digital asset services. Looking ahead, Gate will continue to adhere to a parallel development strategy of compliance and innovation, promoting the long-term healthy development of the digital asset industry through superior product experiences and global service capabilities.
