Is Gate.io banned in the US?

Excuse me, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me regarding the status of Gate.io in the United States. I've heard some rumors that the platform might be banned there, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you please provide me with a clear and concise answer on whether or not Gate.io is accessible and legal to use for individuals residing in the US? It would be greatly appreciated if you could also provide any relevant information or links to resources that could help me better understand the situation. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
