  • Permissions include payment account operations plus execution of credit transfers and direct debits, providing a legal basis for euro and stablecoin-related flows.
  • Gate has not disclosed specific products or launch timelines, while its CEO frames the license as infrastructure to connect traditional finance with Web3 within a broader multi‑jurisdiction compliance strategy.
