Gate Obtains Malta PSD2 Payment Institution License to Expand EU Stablecoin and Fiat Rails

Gate Technology Ltd, the Malta-based entity of Gate, has obtained a Payment Institution license under the EU’s Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), the company announced ^[1][2].

The PSD2 approval allows Gate to execute regulated payment transactions across the EU — including direct debits and credit transfers — expanding its ability to provide fiat on/off-ramps and payment rails for customers in the bloc ^[4][3].

Gate said the license will support stablecoin transactions under the Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) framework and reinforces its stated strategy to bridge legacy finance and Web3 infrastructure across Europe, putting the firm among crypto‑native companies to secure this level of regulatory approval ^[3][1][2].

The Malta PSD2 license positions Gate to offer regulated payment services and scale stablecoin and fiat rails across the EU under PSD2 and MiCA oversight ^[1][4].
