Gate is a long-standing industry leader, notably having amassed a significant retail consumer base. As an industry expert, Gate’s partnership with Crossover reinforces our thesis that institutional-specific technology is required to unlock liquidity and pave the roadway for institutional demand. Crossover is quite thankful to onboard a strategic investor, and we welcome the amazing team at Gate Ventures & Gate.io. to the Crossover Markets Group.”
