Gate announced an integration partnership with custodian Komainu to further expand its over-the-counter settlement capabilities.

Crypto asset trading platform Gate announced an integration partnership with institutional-grade digital asset custodian Komainu, further expanding its over-the-counter (OES) settlement infrastructure through Komainu Connect. This partnership allows institutional clients to directly access Gate's trading and liquidity system while their assets are segregated by a regulated, independent custodian, enabling an institutional-grade trading model that separates custody from trade execution. This move aligns with current trends in the evolution of the crypto market structure, helping to reduce counterparty risk while improving the efficiency and security of trading operations. From an infrastructure perspective, this integration further strengthens Gate's service capabilities in the institutional market and expands its SuperLink ecosystem, seamlessly connecting custody, liquidity, and financial services. Gate has consistently ranked among the top in the industry in terms of liquidity and market depth, and with its network of multiple mainstream custodians, it has gradually built a trading system that covers the diverse needs of institutions. As institutional funds continue to flow in, the crypto market's demand for asset security and efficient execution is increasing, and infrastructure similar to the OES model will become a key path for driving the industry towards greater transparency and scalability.
