UK FCA Conducts Raids on 8 Locations in London Suspected of Illegal Peer-to-Peer Cryptocurrency Trading

ME News report: On April 22 (UTC+8), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said it has, together with the tax authorities and police, searched eight locations in London suspected of illegal peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading, and issued stop notices to each site. The FCA said that evidence obtained during the on-site inspections has supported multiple ongoing criminal investigations. The operation was carried out under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations, with the aim of preventing relevant traders from providing criminals with channels to transfer, conceal, and use funds. The UK currently has no peer-to-peer cryptocurrency traders registered with the FCA. (Source: ChainCatcher)
