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

Mars Finance reports that the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) stated it has jointly searched eight suspected illegal peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading locations in London with tax authorities and police, and issued cease and desist notices to each site. The FCA said that evidence obtained from on-site inspections has supported multiple ongoing criminal investigations. This operation was carried out under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations, aiming to prevent traders involved from providing channels for criminals to transfer, conceal, and use funds. Currently, there are no peer-to-peer cryptocurrency traders registered with the FCA in the UK.
