Gate.io
Medium ActivityOne of the oldest surviving cryptocurrency exchanges, known for longevity and wide asset selection.
Gate.io is one of the oldest surviving cryptocurrency exchanges, originally founded in 2013 (under the name Bter) before rebranding to Gate.io in 2017.
Because it existed during the early years of crypto, it lived through multiple market crashes, hacks, and bull runs — and kept evolving. That longevity gave it a reputation as a veteran exchange in the industry.
In crypto's early days, exchanges were constantly appearing and disappearing. Gate.io became notable because it didn't just grow during bull markets — it adapted and survived difficult periods when many platforms shut down.
After the 2017 rebrand, the platform expanded globally and rebuilt its security and infrastructure, positioning itself for long-term operation rather than short-term hype.
Gate.io became known for:
- Listing a wide range of cryptocurrencies
- Supporting early-stage blockchain projects
- Serving international traders
- Providing staking and earning features
If major exchanges are the financial centers, Gate.io acts like a global marketplace port — where new assets enter circulation and spread outward. Its strength is experience and persistence — surviving cycles while continuing to support new blockchain ecosystems.
