Gatecoin competitive advantages
International banking infrastructure
Our important focus on regulatory compliance and Money Service Operator license has enabled us to establish close partnerships with international banks and payment service providers. We manage segregated client bank accounts in Europe . In Asia, following our participation in an accelerator programme sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank, we have obtained Standard Chartered bank accounts in Hong Kong and (very soon) Mainland China. This will be followed by Standard Chartered bank accounts in Singapore, Japan, Korea, Philippines and India. In Africa, we are partnering with Microcred Bank, which is present in 7 African countries and has a client base of more than 300,000, who are ready to embrace our remittance solution.

The entire system is divided into modules with restricted access to each other, including two firewalls to protect the most vulnerable areas. All modules are built within the same domain and access to them must be through a VPN and logged. We have a dedicated team to manage both the
Transfers from our digital wallets must be approved by Gatecoin management. USD 680m-worth of trades have been processed since Jan 2015 on our platform. Our low latency matching engine, advanced trading features (stop loss, take profit orders, trailing, etc.) our competitive pricing as well as our intuitive API have attracted large algorithmic traders and market makers. We are the #3 exchange in the world for the ETHBTC (bitcoin-ether) market,#2 for BTCEUR and #1 for BTCHKD.
Turnkey on-Blockchain value transfers

technologies (Ethereum wallet management, smart contracts, multi- signature wallets). Our exchange facility has been designed to use a value transfer system that is token and technology agnostic, in which all the functionalities can be programmed and automated using our API. We are currently discussing the development of bespoke blockchain infrastructure solutions with some major financial institutions, including HKEX and Standard Chartered Bank.
