Can you use Gate.io in the US?

Could you please clarify if Gate.io is accessible and usable for individuals residing in the United States? There have been some reports of restrictions on certain cryptocurrency exchanges in the US, so I'm interested in knowing if Gate.io falls under those restrictions or if it's freely accessible for US-based users. It would be helpful if you could also provide any additional information or considerations that US-based users should be aware of when using Gate.io.
