On December 13, Gate.io Chief Commercial Officer Kevin Lee publicly responded on the X platform regarding the false rumors about "Gate.io's inability to withdraw funds" and the security breach. Kevin stated that recently, some lawless individuals have tried to smear the platform's reputation and create panic among users through forged screenshots and fabricated false information. These actions include using forged addresses to create erroneous transaction information, as well as capturing withdrawal failure pages and confusing the audience, concealing the specific reasons for the failure, and maliciously spreading false rumors about "inability to withdraw".
Kevin strongly condemned these malicious acts and pointed out that Gate.io reserves the right to take legal action against those who spread false information. He reminded users not to believe or spread rumors, and if they have any doubts, they should verify the information through official customer service channels. He also called on industry practitioners to jointly establish a more "clean" ecological link.
Kevin also stated that Gate.io's security and compliance team has thoroughly reviewed the relevant situation and found no abnormal signs, nor have they received any relevant problem reports from authoritative security agencies. Currently, the deposit, withdrawal, and trading functions are operating normally, and the platform maintains a 100% reserve of funds, with the latest reserve size exceeding $10 billion, further strengthening its stable and secure position in the digital asset field.
