LA USDT, Gate

I was fraud by Gate 1879 USDT due to this incident. I would like to request compensation. My possotion was liquidated in 1 second after opened.
uid: 6626338.
On that day, I opened a short position at 15:04:01, and it was forcefully liquidated at 15:04:01, just <1 seconds later, at an extremely inflated price of $9.98. The total realized loss was -1879.20 USDT, as recorded in order ID 241787004994493191.
Immediately prior to liquidation, I had sold 0.29 LA at $3.5 (Order ID: 241787004994472231). The liquidation price was more than 6 times higher, despite no corresponding movement in the broader market. In this order was liquidated balance with $1879,2 USD.

Most critically, according to Gate.io’s own index source page price indexes LA USDT,
the LA/USDT price index was calculated based on three exchanges: BitGet, ByBit, and MEXC — none of which recorded prices above $1.6 during this period.

In addition:

The trading pair was removed shortly after the incident, and later restored.

The trade was opened and liquidated within 1 second, making it impossible to react.

Gate.io acknowledged receipt of my support inquiry and initially promised compensation 3 times, but then reversed their decision with no justification.

I want request refund to my account.

Addition after Gate's response to my review:
The exchange did not take measures to compensate for the losses, the exchange's response under my review about the measures taken does not bear the truth, because it is impossible to compensate for a negative balance that has never existed on any exchange, article 45399 has nothing to do with the compensation of funds.

Gate doesn't care about it's customers and price manipulations

At first, I thought it was a good exchange and used it regularly, but...

On June 4, 2025, while trading the LA token, the price experienced an abnormal spike of 60x or more (from $0.5 to $30), leading to massive liquidations of users — myself included.

Support has completely ignored all inquiries regarding this incident and certainly hasn’t issued any refunds. Every message receives the same generic response.

Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer at Gate.io, labeled the $LA contract movement as "abnormal activity" via social media (X/twitter platform).

An official announcement from Gate.io later confirmed that the contract price diverged significantly from the broader market during the launch.

Despite these admissions, the platform has offered no compensation, resolution, or recovery options to the impacted users.

Gate has still NOT COMPENSATED the losses, and in every response they attach a announcement post about closing negative balances that have nothing to do with users’ actual losses

I strongly advise against using this exchange.

Mass liquidation of users' futures accounts on LA/USDT

This exchange specifically draws the price to liquidate users. On June 4, I lost 16000 dollars on token LA, because Gate drew a rate of 52$ at a price of 0.6$ on dex and other exchanges.

I entered a trade for $500, but since Gate took the price from the Kuсoin exchange where the liquidity was a hundred dollars, and someone bought in an empty exchange stack and pushed the price to 52$, I had my entire account liquidated ($16000). I was using 1x Isolated Margin.

Five minutes after record liquidations, Gate Exchange closed trading in this futures. But they decided not to compensate the victims.

Remember, when trading on Gate you can be given any price (100-1000x) in the moment and have your entire futures account liquidated

Big SCAM from exchange! (I can proof all information!)

On June 4, 2025, Gate.io allowed trading of the $LA perpetual futures contract, during which a massive pricing failure occurred — caused entirely by their own index algorithm. The price was inflated nearly 50x above fair market value due to the inclusion of data from a low-liquidity exchange that was never officially listed as part of the index.

As a result, many users — including myself — experienced forced liquidations based on a price that had no real connection to the actual market. Gate.io publicly acknowledged that this was an internal failure, not market-driven.

However, instead of properly compensating users, the platform tried to sweep the issue under the rug. They quietly patched the error, reset user balances into the negative where needed, and delisted the contract minutes after the incident — erasing all related data and pretending nothing happened. The only reason they didn’t liquidate even more was because you simply can’t take more than what’s in a user’s account.

This was not a market accident — it was a platform failure and a manipulation, whether intentional or due to gross negligence. No other exchange showed similar volume or pricing — the price surge was unique to Gate.io.

Many affected users are now turning to regulators and legal channels. I strongly advise anyone to stay away from Gate.io until they demonstrate real accountability and transparency.

there was a listing of the la coin. literally in a couple of seconds it was at 50x and then went down. there was no such price on any exchange. tech support doesn't say anything sensible. managers were told to ignore people and not say anything (the main ones said). the GATE exchange itself did this manipulation. The coin was on the spot of 5 exchanges, and none of them had such a price. In social networks, they block people who mention the la coin, they block them in Telegram and Twitter. they bring bots under the exchange posts

The exchange does not follow its own rules

Due to problems in the exchange's internal mechanisms, the LA token's listing created conditions under which the price rose and fell chaotically, regardless of trading volume.
The exchange pleaded guilty and deliberately refused to compensate for the losses.

UPD:
The problem is that the Gate exchange is directly to blame for the abnormal value of the markup price and the index price. This was acknowledged and publicly announced by the CBO of the Gate exchange.
This is the danger of using the Gate exchange. It violated its own rules, as the risk control did not work when the price deviated sharply.
This led to massive liquidations of users’ positions, both long and short.
The exchange also chose only two other exchanges to form the index price and marking, and one of them, Kucoin, had such low liquidity that orders for a few thousand dollars caused liquidations on the gate for millions of dollars. And this was also acknowledged by the gate management.
Although at the same time the LA token was traded on the spot of other highly liquid exchanges, which gate usually uses to form the price, but not this time.
Therefore, the gate exchange simply stole users' money, making primitive mistakes in its work.
Be careful!

lost funds due to an indexing failure at Gate

Due to a malfunction in the mechanism of index price formation on the LA/USDT perpetual pair, I incurred a loss of 10,338 USDT. The connection of data from KuCoin, especially at the moment of displaying an abnormally inflated spot price, contradicts the stated methodology of the platform and calls into question its transparency and reliability.

Token indexing violation

Now Gate proudly states that the price of the $LA token on its exchange is indexed from 5 exchanges: Bitget, Bybit, Coinbase, Gate and Mexc.
But in the first minutes of the listing, the indexation was tied only to Kucoin and Bitget, where the price on Kucoin was 540 times higher than the premarket price. On other exchanges, the price reached a maximum of $5! And no more than a few seconds, and on Gate $27! Are you crazy!? Why did the indexation change only later? So it was still your mistake and you should be responsible for it!

Don't even write me nonsense about returning losses and taking on the losses of the negative balance that you yourself drew! Nonsense that you, like a robot, constantly write. You have lost all respect!

Return the liquidated money to users, otherwise you will forever remain with the reputation of a scam exchange. And don't answer me the same way as the previous people, I'm fed up with your same text, I don't need a link to your article number 45399. We will file complaints and will not leave it like this.

While the LA/USDT price was around $0.50 on other CEXes, Gate manipulated it and pumped it to $25. As a result, many traders were liquidated. I saw reports that around $18 million was extracted during the liquidation.

market manipulation

On June 4, 2025, the Gate.io application enabled trading of a $LA futures contract using a distorted price index. The index included input from an illiquid exchange, causing the price to surge over 4,000% above actual market levels. As a result, numerous users experienced automatic liquidation of their positions, suffering major financial losses.

Despite acknowledging the irregularities publicly, Gate.io declined to reimburse affected users. This situation raises serious red flags about financial integrity, user protection, and the overall safety of the platform. I strongly encourage Apple to evaluate whether this app adheres to App Store policies regarding fair financial practices and user trust.
