WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Rankings #47: Crypto.com Exchange — It Secured an EU-Wide MiCA License, So Why Are Users Still Saying, “They Can Freeze Your Account Without Warning”?
Introduction: The Other Side of a “Compliance Star” In the first 46 installments, we investigated a range of exchanges, from HashKey to Bitfinex. For Episode 47, were taking a look at one of the most Hollywood-style names in crypto: Crypto.com. Its résumé in compliance and marketing is almost unmatched: founded in 2016, with more than 140 million users worldwide; one of the first major global crypto-asset service providers to obtain a MiCA license covering the European Union; an SEC investigation that ended with no enforcement action; more than 100 regulatory approvals; a Maltese MiCA license; dual CFTC registrations as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO); FINRA-registered broker-dealer status; a $700 million deal in 2021 to secure the naming rights to the Los Angeles Lakers‘ home arena; Matt Damon’s “Fortune Favors the Brave” campaign; and sponsorships of Formula 1 and the UEFA Champions League. Sounds like a globally compliant crypto super app, right？ But there is another side to the story. Crypto.com has a Trustpilot score of just 2/5, with 72% of ratings being one star. Numerous users complain about sudden account restrictions, funds they can see but cannot access, scripted customer support responses, and cases that remain unresolved for weeks
WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Rankings #46: Bitfinex — The U.S. Government Holds 94,636 BTC. Who Really Owns the Money at This 14-Year-Old Exchange?
Introduction: A Veteran Exchange That Refuses to Die In our first 45 installments, we investigated a range of exchanges, from HashKey to BingX. For Episode 46, were examining a true fossil from the early days of crypto: Bitfinex. Its résumé puts it among the industrys most established players: founded in 2012, 14 years of operating history, one of the worlds earliest cryptocurrency exchanges, a sister company of Tether, the issuer of USDT, and the legal claimant to 94,636 BTC seized by the U.S. government. Its parent company, iFinex, operates both Bitfinex and Tether. It holds a full Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license in El Salvador and supports more than 270 cryptocurrencies. Sounds like a seasoned, technically sophisticated exchange, doesnt it？ But theres another side to the story. In 2016, Bitfinex suffered a hack that resulted in the theft of 119,755 BTC, worth nearly $10 billion at current prices. In 2021, the CFTC fined it for illegally offering off-exchange retail commodity transactions. That same year, the New York Attorney General fined Bitfinex and Tether $18.5 million over allegations of misrepresenting their reserves. Its Trustpilot rating is just 1.6/5, with users complaining about withdrawals being locked for five days and customer support requiring two
WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #43: LBank — Japan FSA Says Its “Location Is Unknown,” Users Asked to Pay a $7,800 “Verification Fee” to Withdraw Funds
Introduction: An Exchange That Has “Won Countless Awards” Yet Cannot Be Found by Regulators In the previous 42 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to Bitstamp. In this 43rd edition, we take a closer look at one of the most controversial exchanges in terms of public image versus regulatory reality — LBank (Blue Shell). When it comes to marketing and branding, LBanks profile looks impressive: Founded in 2015, more than 20 million registered users worldwide, daily trading volume exceeding $10 billion, regional sponsorship of the Argentina national football team, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, a $100 million futures fund, 10 years without major security incidents, and a team of more than 500 employees. At first glance, it sounds like a major global exchange with a long operating history. However, the other side of the story is very different. In June 2025, Japan‘s Financial Services Agency (FSA) issued an official warning stating that LBank had an “unknown location and unknown representative”. WikiBit’s risk assessment gave LBank a score of 6.66 and flagged it for questionable regulatory licenses and high-risk concerns. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) in Canada also placed LBank on its investor warning list. Meanwhile, users on platforms such as Trustpilot and Sikayetvar have complained
