According to a report by CoinPost, the FSA noted that LBank <a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/major-south-korean-crypto-exchange-bithumb-lists-new-altcoin\/\">Exchange<\/a> has an &#8220;unknown address&#8221; and an &#8220;unknown representative&#8221; and has been conducting cryptocurrency exchange trading with Japanese residents as counterparties. This, according to the statement, violates the FSA&#8217;s operational guidelines that require exchanges to be registered and adhere to certain standards to ensure investor protection.<\/p>\n<p>LBank Exchange, a small to medium-sized exchange based on CoinGecko data, ranks 56th in terms of 24-hour spot trading volume. Despite its size, the exchange&#8217;s lack of transparency and regulatory compliance has raised concerns among Japanese authorities.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the FSA&#8217;s first move against unregistered exchanges. In March of last year, the agency issued warnings to four other companies, Bybit Fintech Limited, MEXC Global, Bitget Limited, and Bitforex Limited, for providing cryptocurrency trading services without registration. Despite these warnings, access and trading on these platforms from Japan remains possible.<\/p>\n<p><em>In the comment section, you can freely share your comments and\u00a0 opinions about the topic.
