<p>Gate.io, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has swiftly “denied circulating rumors of a security breach,” assuring users that all systems are operating normally. The rumors, which surfaced during early Asian trading hours, suggested a possible hack and triggered concerns about massive withdrawals. However, Gate.io promptly refuted these claims, emphasizing that their security team has found “no irregularities, nor have any external security agencies reported issues.”</p>
<p>The exchange, which holds over $10 billion in reserve funds, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to reassure its community. A statement from the team clarified, “Deposits, withdrawals, and trading activities are functioning without any disruptions.”</p>

<p>While social media posts spread the rumor and urged users to withdraw their funds from Gate.io, the platform’s total assets remained largely unaffected, as per data from <a href="https://defillama.com/cex/gate-io?usdInflows" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DefiLlama</a>.</p>
<p>Adding to the reassurance, Gate.io’s Chief Business Officer Kevin Lee dismissed the rumors as baseless, calling it an attempt to create unnecessary panic. In a tweet, he humorously commented, “Someone’s trying to ruin my Friday. Stop the FUDs! Going live on X shortly to address this unfounded rumor. BAU!”</p>
