Gate has obtained a PSD2 payment institution license in Malta, advancing the construction of the EU stablecoin infrastructure.

Gate announced that its Malta-based subsidiary, Gate Technology Ltd, has officially received a Payment Institution (PI) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) under the EU Payment Services Directive, Version 2 (PSD2). This license makes Gate one of the few crypto-native companies in Europe to receive such regulatory approval, laying the foundation for providing compliant stablecoin and payment services across the EU. Giovanni Cunti, CEO of Gate Technology Ltd., stated that the license will support the company in building a secure bridge between traditional finance and Web3, providing clear regulatory assurance for institutional and retail users. Previously, Gate had obtained a full MiCA license for exchange and custody services. With the PSD2 license, Gate is now leveraging EU compliance mechanisms to expand its payment services footprint across the EU. This move demonstrates Gate's commitment to compliance and regulatory transparency and further drives its innovation and development in the European digital asset financial infrastructure sector. Gate continues to advance its global compliance efforts and resource investment, with several of its entities having obtained relevant regulatory registrations, licenses, or completed authorization approval processes in jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, and Dubai. At the same time, Gate US holds 33 state-level licenses in the United States, with compliance operations covering 45 jurisdictions.
