Gate responded to the incident where Indian police judicially froze user assets: The case remains under review, and no assets have been transferred.

According to an official announcement, in response to a user whose assets were ordered by Indian police to be judicially frozen, Gate stated that as an independent third-party platform, it will not judge or commit to transferring involved funds solely based on one-sided materials. All requests undergo internal case-by-case review, and no assets have been transferred to date. Since 2025, Gate has been devoting legal resources to following up on the case, helping the user establish communication channels and secure time, rather than complying immediately after receiving the Indian police’s request. In September 2025, Gate received an asset freeze request from Indian police; its anti-money laundering and legal teams subsequently repeatedly requested additional evidence and case materials, noting that the on-chain records provided by police involve multiple wallets and fund flows. In April 2026, the police put forward a request related to asset transfer, but Gate did not directly commit to compliance and continued to ask for supplementary materials. Per communications in September that year, the case was still under judicial review at the time. Gate will continue to hold the relevant funds and will not easily transfer them during the user’s defense process, while assisting the user in resolving the issue. Gate added that on the same day it received the police’s notice to submit prosecution materials, it inquired whether it could disclose the progress to the user, and after obtaining consent, notified the relevant user to enable them to seek legal remedies. Per local law firm advice, as a third party, Gate cannot defend or raise objections on behalf of the user, but will continue to assist the user in communicating with relevant parties and provide legal support. During the user’s defense period, the platform will retain the relevant funds and update them in a timely manner as new developments arise.
