Title: Gatecoin Protects User Funds with Segregated Bank Accounts Post by: Coinbuddy on February 02, 2015, 05:55:20 AM Gatecoin is a new, Hong Kong-based Bitcoin exchange that has finally launched after much anticipation.
This exchange provides a service that is common in non-crypto finance, but is currently unique in the Bitcoin world. Gatecoin will be using segregated bank accounts to protect its users’ funds. Segregated bank accounts separate user funds from money owned by the company; in the event of company insolvency, security breach, or any other situation where the company loses its money, user funds will remain safe in a separate bank account.

I think it's the law in the UK now that online bookies have to keep customers funds seperate incase of insolvency. Hopefully this will be applied to exchanges too.

When I first saw the title, I thought it was about gascoin. Even though this is great, they should have picked a different name.

And speaking of segregated bank accounts, just wondering how it would work. Does it mean our btc fund is actually backed by fiat with equivalent amount sitting in another account?
