Gate Responds to Indian Police Freezing User Assets: No Assets Transferred So Far, Will Continue to Provide Legal Support

Odaily: Gate has issued a statement regarding the judicial freezing of user assets by Indian police, saying that since receiving the asset freezing request from Indian police in September 2025, the platform has continuously asked the police to supplement evidence, with its AML team and legal department reviewing the relevant materials on a case-by-case basis. After receiving an asset transfer request in April 2026, Gate still did not commit to executing it, but instead continued to request supplementary materials; according to case communications in September 2026, the case was still in the judicial review stage at that time.

Gate stated that, as an independent third party, the platform will not dispose of or transfer user assets based solely on unilateral materials. To date, no assets have been transferred, and the relevant funds remain held by the platform. After obtaining police consent, the platform has updated the relevant users on the case progress and has engaged local law firms to communicate with the police and the court, seeking lawful defense channels for users. Gate emphasized that the platform cannot defend on behalf of users, but will continue to provide legal support and will promptly provide updates once the case makes progress.
