Gate, has announced a strategic partnership with Bank Frick, a Liechtenstein-based bank, to launch fiat on-ramp and off-ramp services for institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions. The collaboration aims to deliver streamlined access to major fiat currencies for institutional clients at launch, with further global service expansion plans to be unveiled in the near future.
Bank Frick, with over 25 years of experience, is renowned for its expertise in regulated blockchain banking, tokenization solutions, and innovative payment infrastructure. As a European blockchain pioneer, the bank has built a robust ecosystem encompassing crypto exchanges, market makers, and professional financial players, with a focus on bridging traditional financial systems and the digital asset space. Its proprietary xPULSE payment service, available 24/7, addresses the limitations of traditional banking hours, enabling near-instant fiat transactions even outside standard cut-off times.
Through this partnership, Gate's clients will leverage Bank Frick's xPULSE infrastructure to access multi-currency fiat deposits and withdrawals supporting fiat-to-crypto trading of mainstream cryptocurrencies on Gate. The service reduces the need for pre-conversion to regional currencies, allowing clients to transact directly with major fiat currencies while enjoying frictionless settlement, a key consideration for global institutional traders operating across time zones. All services are delivered in line with applicable regulatory, compliance, and governance requirements to ensure a secure trading and transacting experience.
"Major fiat currencies remain the backbone of global digital asset trading, and our clients have long sought a regulated and convenient solution for multi-currency access," said Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate. "By partnering with Bank Frick, with expertise in bridging traditional banking and crypto, we're delivering on that demand while upholding our commitment to regulatory compliance. This collaboration strengthens Gate's offering, making it easier for hedge funds, asset managers, family offices, and other eligible users to engage with mainstream cryptocurrencies through reliable fiat channels."
Mirko Pfiffner, Senior Solution Manager at Bank Frick added, "We are excited to partner with Gate to expand regulated fiat-crypto access for worldwide clients. Our xPULSE infrastructure was purpose-built to meet the unique needs of the digital asset industry with 24/7 availability, efficient settlement, and a strong focus on compliance. This partnership reinforces our mission to power secure and robust fiat on-and-off ramps for the global crypto ecosystem."
This partnership represents a significant milestone in Gate’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its fiat infrastructure and institutional service capabilities. By deepening collaboration with regulated banking partners, Gate continues to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and compliance, reinforcing its position as a gateway between traditional finance and the digital asset economy.
