The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in collaboration with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Southwest Organized Crime Unit (SWROCU), conducted the first coordinated enforcement action against illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency transactions at eight locations in London.


The relevant sites are suspected of providing P2P trading services without registration and lacking anti-money laundering controls; law enforcement has issued cease-and-desist orders and collected evidence for multiple criminal investigations.
The regulatory agency confirmed that there are currently no registered P2P crypto trading platforms or traders in the UK.
Unregistered operations are illegal and pose financial crime risks.
Consumers are reminded that trading with unregistered parties will leave them without recourse or compensation protections. (CoinDesk)
