Reason for this visit

The United States is one of the largest cryptocurrency markets globally, with major digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum gaining wide popularity, appealing to a large number of investors and innovators. The US has a broad base of retail and institutional investors, including individual investors, hedge funds, family offices, and more. In terms of regulation, the SEC has been closely monitoring digital assets, with its regulatory stance on digital assets fluctuating at different times but overall emphasizing the protection of investor interests. The CFTC is primarily responsible for regulating the futures and derivatives markets of digital assets and has approved products such as Bitcoin futures. Financial regulatory agencies in various states in the US are also taking measures, with some encouraging digital asset innovation and others adopting a cautious regulatory attitude. In the future, as institutional investor interest in digital assets grows, it is expected that an increasing number of institutional products and services will enter the market, thereby driving market growth. In an attempt to help investors gain a more comprehensive understanding of current cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States, WikiBit survey team decides to go to the country for on-site visits to local companies.

On-site visit

In this issue, the survey team went to the US to visit cryptocurrency exchange AISMEX as planned according to its regulatory address that 1560 Broadway, Suite 800, Denver, Colorado.

The investigators came to 1560 Broadway in Denver of Colorado in the US for a visit to the exchanges office on November 23, 2023, and located Civic Center Plaza, an iconic Grade A office building in downtown Denver.

Upon arrival at the building for further investigation, the survey personnel spotted a directory in the lobby, which didn‘t show any information concerning AISMEX nor Suite 800. However, people weren’t allowed to visit upstairs via the elevator without an access card. According to the security guards, there was no company on the 8th floor of the building, and they never heard of the company “AISMEX”.

Through the on-site investigation, it is confirmed that the company doesnt have a presence at the location.

Conclusion

The survey team went to the US to visit cryptocurrency exchange AISMEX, but didnt find the company at its regulatory address. This signifies that the company might just register at the place without a physical business office. Therefore, investors should be meticulous in choosing the exchange.
