I visited the official websites of several major CEX platforms claiming to operate licensed offices in the UK. What I discovered was quite revealing—none of them actually maintained a physical, operational office at the addresses listed. Every single address turned out to be either a registered business location or a mail drop service, with no real operational presence on the ground.
This raises some real questions about transparency and what these claims actually mean when you dig into the details.

Wow, isn't this just a blatant information gap? Turns out they are all virtual addresses.

Haha, really, I’ve said it before, these exchanges are all paper tigers.
Isn’t this standard operation? Registering an address to fool regulatory authorities.
So, digging deep into these platforms really reveals the truth. No wonder users keep getting cut.
UK regulation is just like that; having a registered address is much more important than actual operations.
This is the true face of centralized platforms. They look compliant but actually have nothing.

Here we go again with this? The addresses are all fake. These exchanges really treat regulation as air.
