Gate Group has launched Gate Dubai, providing spot trading for leading digital assets while strengthening regional compliance, localized operations and participation in the MENA cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain company Gate Group has announced the official launch of operations of its subsidiary, Gate Technology FZE, and the platform is now active in Dubai.
Gate Dubai has secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license under the supervision of the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), authorizing it to provide virtual asset exchange services to institutions, qualified investors and individual investors. This launch represents a milestone in Gate Group’s ongoing global compliance and regulatory strategy.
Initially, Gate Dubai will offer spot trading for major digital assets, leveraging Gate Group’s expertise in liquidity management, order matching efficiency and technical stability, providing a high-performance and stable trading environment. The platform also supports exchanges between local fiat and virtual assets, increasing user convenience and enabling more flexible asset allocation while staying within a compliance framework.
Gate Group expands MENA presence, strengthens regional compliance and cryptocurrency ecosystem development
Gate Dubai has built a fully localized platform and is developing local teams and customer support systems designed to meet local operational and regulatory requirements. Through these efforts, the platform aims to foster sustainable growth in the MENA region by strengthening user trust and engagement, deepening relationships with regional markets, and contributing to the broader regional digital asset ecosystem through partnerships, knowledge sharing, and education initiatives.
Dubai’s position as a hub for technological innovation and financial openness highlights the strategic importance of the launch of Gate Dubai. This expands Gate Group’s compliance presence in the Middle East and North Africa, providing a foundation for regionally focused services and engagement within a regulated framework.
As a long-standing global participant in the cryptocurrency industry, Gate Group has focused on security, transparency and compliance, enabling a trusted trading environment supported by 100% reserve proof and comprehensive risk management. In several jurisdictions, including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia and Dubai, Gate entities have obtained licenses, registrations or approvals, reinforcing the company’s commitment to regulatory compliance.
The launch of Gate Dubai demonstrates Gate Group’s integrated strengths in global compliance, product development and ecosystem building. As regulations tighten and industry maturity increases, the company plans to continue strengthening its role as a leading player and ecosystem builder through a structured compliance roadmap and coordinated global strategy.
