Gate.io
Gate.io offers one of the widest token selections in the industry with over 1,700 listed assets. While it excels at listing new and niche tokens early, its regulatory posture and security record remain areas of concern.

Is Gate.io Available in Australia?
Gate.io operates Gate Australia, its local entity (Gate Information Pty Ltd), which is registered with AUSTRAC as a Digital Currency Exchange Provider since November 2023. AUD funding is available via Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through third-party partners (Onramper and Legend Trading) rather than direct PayID or bank transfer. Australian users should check Gate Australia's current local product set before funding, and ASIC consumer protection rules apply to any derivatives or leveraged products.
