Margin Trading

Gate.io offers leveraged trading on its trading platform, which means that you can receive a higher exposure towards a certain cryptocurrency’s price increase or decrease. Leveraged trading is essentially borrowing from the exchange to bet more than your original stake, which in simple terms essentially means that you are betting against yourself.

Deposit Methods

The exchange does not accept any other deposit method than cryptocurrencies, so new crypto investors are restricted from trading here. If you do not have any cryptocurrencies but want to start trading here, you will first have to purchase them on another exchange and then deposit them here as a second step.

Gate.io Security

This exchange offers cold storage and hot wallet options for storing funds. It allows customers to set up 2FA (two-factor authentication) and can send SMS-notifications upon certain events.
