Gate review: spot fees and the Maltese company

The agreement on www.gate.com is addressed to Gate and its affiliates. It does not pick one legal name for every account. Authorisation at that layer stays unverified.

Gate Technology Limited does have an ESMA row: LEI 984500D6A0F945BB5A15, The Core, Triq il-Wied ta’ l-Imsida, Msida, authorisation notified on 29 September 2025, website www.gate.com/en-eu. The file’s countries use the code EL for Greece and do not include Malta. The European rules cite an MFSA licence under MiCA, with a trading platform, exchange and custody. Its fee schedule has not been replaced by the global VIP.

The comparable row is spot VIP 0. Maker and taker match at 0.100% until the level or GT payment splits them. From VIP 4 the announcement already shows a maker lower than the taker.

USDC/USDT sits outside that row: 0% and 0%, and the volume does not raise VIP. Futures had another adjustment in the same announcement and do not score on this spot ranking.

The announcement leaves VIP 0 as it was: 0.100% / 0.100%, and 0.0900% / 0.0900% with GT. VIP 1 stays at 0.0990% on each side. The change that day shows further up, where several VIP levels lose a zero maker.

The help page calculates the fee as amount times rate and only on the fill. A cancellation returns what did not execute. The general fee page did not show the table without a login on one reading; the announcement and the help example do fix the 0.1%.

Gate Learn says an on-chain deposit of a supported asset, with the right network and memo, carries no platform fee. If the transfer costs money, the cost is usually at the sending exchange or wallet.

A withdrawal does show a fee by asset and network. The agreement allows it to be changed. We do not document a Gate Technology Limited SEPA in this profile: it was not on the global pages used for the number.

The European site’s rules include custody and administration of crypto-assets among Gate Technology Limited’s services, and they contemplate a third-party custodian. That is the www.gate.com/en-eu account.

The global agreement does not repeat that scheme with a company name. We do not claim that the main site’s account uses the same custodian or the same Maltese licence.

Look at the signup domain. If it is the European path, the company is Gate Technology Limited and the fee has to be read on that product. If it is the global site, the published VIP 0 is 0.100%, subject to the session and to paying in GT.

Also confirm whether you trade USDC/USDT, because the trading fee there is zero and the volume does not raise your level. The withdrawal network is chosen for compatibility.

At VIP 0, leaving the order on the book or crossing it costs the same 0.100%. GT is the only discount on that row that the announcement prices. The ranking does not apply it, so someone who holds the token is not mixed with someone who does not.

KuCoin Class A publishes the same taker. The practical difference is KuCoin’s Classes B and C, which Gate does not use on this row, and that Gate does document the GT discount.

The KuCoin and Gate comparison looks at Class A’s 0.10% against Gate’s 0.100%. Global Bybit is at 0.1000% only on crypto-to-crypto. MEXC, on the standard taker, sits at 0.05%.

The Europe ranking does not include Gate on MiCA fees because that table is not verified here. The international ranking uses the global VIP and explains Bybit’s place separately.
