If your answer is “Yes”, please continue reading the text in section ‘2-1’. If your answer is “No”, please skip this section and read the next part of the text.

2-1 Having a worry-free and reliable cryptocurrency wallet

A crypto wallet is a wallet application that users use to store important encrypted asset information, including private keys, public keys, wallet addresses, passwords, and keystore, and other important confidential information. It can be used for various purposes, such as buying, selling, trading, and storing cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other encrypted assets.

Wallet.io is a product under Gate.io, which supports certified login through Gate.io. After certification, one account can log in to both the exchange and personal wallet, making it easy to exchange and transfer. At the same time, Wallet.io has developed four types of user wallet modes (standard version, professional version, enterprise version, hardware wallet) for different user groups, and you can choose different modes of Wallet.io according to your needs.

Withdraw crypto assets to wallet

Because cryptocurrencies are withdrawn through ‘addresses’, when you decide to withdraw cryptocurrencies to a crypto wallet, you need to open the wallet that will receive the cryptocurrencies, click on ‘Receive’ or ‘Deposit’ to obtain the receiving ‘address’ for the corresponding currency. At Gate.io, there is a comprehensive detailed operation document to guide you through the withdrawal process. You can choose the corresponding operation method according to your operating device.

During the volatile market, exchanging your crypto assets for stablecoins can serve as a hedge without having to leave the crypto market.

Do you want to exchange your crypto assets for stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, etc.)?

If your answer is “Yes”, please continue to read the text in section ‘3-1’. If your answer is “No”, please skip this paragraph and read the next part of the text.

3-1 Convert cryptocurrency to stablecoin

Stablecoins create a pivot for the exchange of relatively unstable crypto assets, bridging the gap between the real world and the blockchain. There are mainly three types of stablecoins: fiat-backed stablecoin (Off-Chain-Backed Stablecoin), digital asset-backed stablecoin (On-Chain-Backed Stablecoin), and algorithmic stablecoin, no matter which type of stablecoin you choose to exchange, Gate.io can provide you with the best service.

Gate.io supports compliant stablecoin market, including USDC, BUSD and other compliant stablecoin trading, always providing users with better token selection and asset protection.

“Security” and “transparency” are the cornerstones of the financial industry, and the same goes for the crypto industry. The crypto industry is both praised and criticized for its more open and free nature. Safeguarding the health and long-term development of this market cannot rely solely on sudden revelations and lessons learned. The security of user assets cannot only depend on users’ rational decisions but also requires conscientious self-discipline and careful protection from custodial institutions. The best way to ensure the security of user assets is not to intervene and apologize after an incident, but to continuously and regularly conduct independent third-party 100% margin audits.”

Since 2020, Gate.io has been closely collaborating with independent third-party audit firm Armanino LLP to conduct regular margin audits, providing users with 100% margin proof to ensure the transparency of user assets. Currently, Gate.io has completed a 100% margin audit, and users can view the audit results of Gate.io assets on the Armanino official website.
