Gate.io swiftly responded to circulating rumors about its state of operations from several influential figures within the crypto community. The exchange’s security team took to X to reassure users, stating that no abnormalities had been detected and that no security agencies had reported any issues.&nbsp;

On its official X account, Gate.io dismissed the rumors, reiterating that it maintains 100% reserve funds, with current reserves exceeding $10 billion. Kevin Lee, the exchange’s Chief Business Officer, further emphasized the platform’s security, noting that Gate.io is backed by substantial reserves and a reliable security infrastructure.&nbsp; 
Lee hosted a live session on <a href="https://x.com/kevinlee_gate/status/1867530569913184441+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">X</a> to address the misinformation directly, aiming to reassure the community and provide transparency regarding the platform’s operations. 
Lee dismissed these claims as baseless and harmful, vowing to counter the misinformation with evidence during an X Spaces session. In a post on X, he criticized the spread of fear, doubt and uncertainty (FUD), calling out fabricated screenshots, nonexistent wallet addresses, and fake transaction data that were used to fuel the rumors.&nbsp; 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 Stop spreading FUD with your fake screencaps. Nonexistent wallet addresses, fabricated transaction data, and error pages that aren’t even from our platform – enough is enough. We reserve the right to take legal actions.

He also made it clear that Gate.io reserves the right to take legal action against those responsible for spreading false information.

Additionally, he mentioned that Gate.io’s grid trading feature has attracted more than 300,000 users, with total transaction volumes surpassing $20 billion and nearly $2 billion in assets remaining in circulation. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="span-style-font-weight-400-focus-on-ai-products-span">Focus on AI products&nbsp;</h3>
