What we could not verify

Not verified: Italian acceptance and OAM entry; global operating entity and its licences; incidents (none verified; only an unconfirmed 2024 hack rumour denied by Gate was seen, not listed); outcome of India notice; futures fees for EU; auditor of the latest PoR; whether PoR covers all liabilities. | Incident/legal search done 2026-10-09 via web search; CNMV warning not verified at primary source; 2026 user-theft case based on single third-party article.

Facts are as of 9 Oct 2026. We ran a limited number of searches per exchange, so an empty list is not proof that nothing happened. We did not check the Italian OAM register.
