Cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io is gearing up to launch a presence in Hong Kong following the local government’s planned $6.4 million (50 million Hong Kong dollar) cash injection into Web3 as per the city’s 2023-24 budget.

Gate Group said on Feb. 22 that it will apply for a crypto license in Hong Kong allowing it to launch “Gate HK.” The firm’s local company, Hippo Financial Services, gained a license in August 2022 to provide virtual asset custodial services.
