October 27, 2023 — Bitfinex understands that it has been included on the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warning list for unlicensed companies.
Bitfinex is very disappointed by the action taken by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Bitfinex has held detailed discussions with the FCA and has taken proactive measures to attempt to meet the FCA's requirements, including issuing a notice to all its customers detailing all measures it has taken to meet the FCA's requirements.
Bitfinex has also blocked a range of website pages to visitors from the UK, including Bitfinex affiliate pages, staking pages, credit/debit cards, Lending Pro, Bitfinex Borrow, various “how to buy” pages and a mobile app information page.
Full details of the measures Bitfinex has taken to meet the FCA's concerns are available here. Bitfinex has a proven track record of working with regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies globally to combat crime and fraud and help protect investors. It is therefore disappointing that her efforts have not been recognized in this case.
