## Introduction
**Gokay:** Hello everybody! This is Gökay from Gate.io Institutional services. I'm excited to host our second episode of the Gate Institutional AMA series and our first AMA of 2023. Welcome to everyone joining our stream and today we would like to introduce you to our Gate Institutional Department. We are going to share more information with our Institutional clients and anyone who is interested in understanding more about Gate Institutional products and services.

Our team manages a wide range of institutional clients, including hedge funds, institutional traders, High net worth individuals, and family offices. Of course, we value each and every single one of our clients, so we work closely with them to provide customized solutions for each of their needs.

The happenings of 2022 will have a major influence on the crypto industry for a long time. Although the future is uncertain and the aftermath remains to be seen, there are noteworthy attributes that differentiate this market from the prior crypto winter. Notably, institutional crypto appropriation is still s<a href="/zh/price/tron-trx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">TRON</a>gly established. Most investors look in the long run and realize the cyclical nature of these markets. Instead of retreating, they are taking this chance to refine their skills and establish structures to get ready for the future.

So today we will talk in detail about what happened in 2022 and what to expect in 2023 from Gate Institutional.

Meanwhile, Gate Institutional offers a variety of solutions for our clients. We have 9 solutions which can also be defined as products or services for our clients. I will make clarifications for each one of them.

The first one is the liquidity program. It is designed for market markets to enjoy attractive rebates or lower fees from trading in spot and futures markets.

**Q3: What steps has Gate.io taken to ensure a secure and compliant platform for its clients?**

**Richard:** Well, first of all, Gate.io is one of the longest-existing crypto platforms in the world. It is also the world's first trading platform committed to providing 100% Proof of Reserves. And Gate.io has also published on-chain wallet holdings on Nansen for public viewing.

Secondly, Gate.io embraces global compliance and has already acquired licenses across different global countries or regions. Ex<a href="/zh/price/amp-amp" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Amp</a>le of our licences, we have a Canada license which was registered as MSB. In Europe region, we have Virtual Asset Exchange Service and Custodian Service license in Malta. In Lithuania, we have Virtual Currency license. We have a license in UAE and we have a custodian license in HK. In HK we also have a TCSP license, which basically means we can provide custodian service.

**Gokay:** And one quick thing, I see there are many more licenses coming along the way. Gate.io tries to do everything right and to be safe.  That's really great.

**Richard:** Yeah, we embraced global compliance. We s<a href="/zh/price/tron-trx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">TRON</a>gly believe that this is a long-term trend, so we are very embracing this trend. We are also acquiring a lot of other licenses in different countries. It is still in the process and we are not that able to share more information about that, but we have a lot of licenses that are coming onboard.

Thirdly, Gate.io has a standard and in-depth risk control work<a href="/zh/price/flow-flow" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Flow</a> to ensure it is a secure and compliant platform for our clients. They include a comprehensive risk management system, secure data storage system, secure data transmission system, regular audits, and compliance reviews, and dedicated customer support and coverage team.

Finally, Gate.io has been working on finding new ways to keep up with the pace of updates and iterations in the crypto market. We have collaborated with reputable third-party custodian suppliers recently, including Copper, Bitgo, and Fireblocks, to further enhance the safety of clients' assets as well as regulatory compliance.

**Gokay:** That is great information and that really takes Gate.io to the next level. And also the Nansen case, that you were explaining - clients are able to see Gate funds directly, so that gives lots of clarity and makes it much easier and safe for the clients.

**Q4: What trials did the Gate Institutional go through in 2022 and what notable events happened?**

**Richard:** We have done a lot of things in 2022 and we expect to keep doing that in a very rapid way. What I would like to point out first is that, Gate.io started a large 0-fee c<a href="/zh/price/amp-amp" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Amp</a>aign for every Gate.io user in 2022, and we have continued the 0-fee activity in 2023 to provide more benefits for every Gate.io user.

In the 0-fees trading pairs on the spot market, all users can enjoy 0 <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> fees, and market <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> level users can further enjoy the negative <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> fee. These 0-fee markets include:  
**[1./USDT (BTC/USDT)](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT?ch=ann28023 "1./USDT (BTC/USDT)")**
**[2./USD (all trading pairs)](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USD "2./USD (all trading pairs)")**
**[3./BTC (all trading pairs)](https://www.gate.io/trade/GT_BTC?ch=ann28023 "3./BTC (all trading pairs)")**
**[4./ETH (all trading pairs)](https://www.gate.io/trade/ETC_ETH?ch=ann28023 "4./ETH (all trading pairs)")**

In the 0-fees trading pairs on the futures market, all users can enjoy 0 <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> fees as well as 0 taker fees. These 0-fee markets include:  
**[a.BTC-M Perpetual futures](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT?ch=ann28023 "a.BTC-M Perpetual futures")**
**[b.Delivery futures](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT?ch=ann28023 "b.Delivery futures")**

Secondly, we would like to invite our clients to participate in our Global Market <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> Program (GMMC) and Gate.io’s [$100 million liquidity support program](https://www.gate.io/article/28818 "$100 million liquidity support program").

GMMC is our [Global Market Maker Program](https://www.gate.io/gmmc?hrefType=0 "Global Market Maker Program"). It currently consists of 4 programs, including Spot MM Program, Futures MM Program, Futures Taker Program, and [Prime Broker Program](https://www.gate.io/article/29219 "Prime Broker Program"). Eligible market <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a>s, institutional clients, high net-worth individuals, or Prime Brokers, will be entitled to our industry-leading negative <a href="/zh/price/maker-mkr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Maker</a> fee rate.

[The $100 million liquidity support program](https://www.gate.io/article/28818 "The $100 million liquidity support program") is a program to support liquidity for our Gate.io clients or other platform clients in the crypto industry. This program was announced during the collapse of FTX. It has been continued for a long time. We have a long-term commitment to that because we have a s<a href="/zh/price/tron-trx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">TRON</a>g faith in the crypto industry. We welcome all industry participants to join our program so that we can work together to help revive the crypto industry to go through the bear market and hopefully we are entering the long-term bull market.

Thirdly, Gate.io has released the latest feature of the trading system, which is called the Portfolio Margin Account. This account allows margin sharing, where the combined profits and losses will offset each other, and clients will not need to transfer funds back and forth across Spot, Margin, Futures, and Options accounts, etc. This improves capital efficiency and we encourage more institutional clients to have a test on this product. In addition to that, we offer a portfolio margin account line of credit for any institutional clients using this feature. They can have additional leverage when they are trading with the portfolio margin account, so they can increase capital efficiency or open a higher amount of open positions or reduce the principal exposure based on the current environment, but still achieve the same trading experience.

By the way, we have a lot of continuous updates on various institutional and VIP activities for all of our clients on a weekly basis. Please feel free to check the Institutional and VIP section in Gate.io announcement.

**Q5: What can we expect from Gate Institutional in 2023?**

**Richard:** We have a s<a href="/zh/price/tron-trx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">TRON</a>g faith and belief in the crypto industry. Gate.io has been working hard on finding new ways to keep up with the pace of updates.

The crypto industry has been rapidly growing. We can foresee the continuous rapid pace of updates and a s<a href="/zh/price/tron-trx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">TRON</a>g growth trend in this industry in 2023. So Gate Institutional will keep striving to provide our clients with a more secure and reliable platform to access crypto markets, and better institutional & VIP service, and we will target b<a href="/zh/price/ecomi-omi" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ECOMI</a>ng one of the best institutional-grade crypto trading platforms in the crypto industry.
