You can get this effect in modern browsers using a pseudo element with the same background, and a filter blur applied on it.

To get compatibility with IE, you can set also a pseudo, and to get the blurred borders use an inset shadow. At least in Chrome, there is a small left over of the border that still can be seen.

.test {
  margin: 20px;
  background-image: linear-gradient(-90deg, #CF77F3 0%, #009BFF 47%, #2AC9DB 100%);;
  border-radius: 50px;
  display: inline-block;
  height: 100px;
  width: 200px;
  position: relative;
  border: solid 4px black;
}

#test1:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  background-image: inherit;
  border-radius: inherit;
  width: inherit;
  height: inherit;
  transform: translate(0px, 20px) scale(1.1);
  z-index: -1;
  filter: blur(14px);
}

#test2:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  border-radius: 90px;
  width: 250px;
  height: 150px;
  z-index: -1;
  top: 1px;
  left: -25px;
  background-image: linear-gradient(-90deg, #CF77F3 0%, #009BFF 47%, #2AC9DB 100%);
  box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 25px 18px white;
}
