Reason for this visit

East Asia and North America (dominated by the United States) are home to the world‘s two largest cryptocurrency exchange markets, with the trading volume making up nearly half of that in the global crypto market. In contrast with many exchanges in East Asia, the crypto platforms in the US are more strictly regulated. In the meantime, Coinbase, the world’s top one cryptocurrency exchange, is based in the US. To help investors get a more comprehensive understanding of the exchanges in the US, WikiBit survey team decided to go to the country for on-site visits to the local companies.

On-site visit

In this issue, the survey team went to Colorado in the US to visit the cryptocurrency exchange XT.COM as planned according to its regulatory address that 1099 18th Street, Suite 2900, Denver, Colorado.

The survey personnel arrived at 1099 18th Street in bustling Denver CBD in Colorado on August 23, where Granite Tower, a grade-A office building, is situated. The building provides office space for financial businesses and professional services supplier.

After entering the building, the investigators arrived at unit 2900 via elevator, and didn‘t spot any company’s logo except two company names, “Everwest Real Estate Investors LLC” and “Everwest Advisors LLC” at the entrance of the room. It could be seen through its glass door that unit 2900 looked more like a conference room, instead of a formal office, where there was a long table and around 10 chairs. No information involved in cryptocurrency exchange XT.COM was found.

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

Conclusion

The survey team went to Colorado in the US to visit cryptocurrency exchange XT.COM, but didnt find the company at its regulatory address. This suggests that the company may just register at the place without a physical business office. Therefore, investors are advised to choose the exchange cautiously.
