Background

Blockchain courses are becoming more and more appealing as this new market witnesses great boom, both in terms of cryptocurrency prices and the number of blockchain projects being launched. Once again, the crypto industry is full of exciting news and there’s much more to come. As the world is facing growing economic uncertainty related to the pandemic, interest in crypto and blockchain technology is surging.

As the cypto market gains popularity, numerous exchanges have emerged. Crypto exchanges are the key entry point for crypto investors. However, those exchanges are not all good, there are also bad ones, and users are advised to do due diligence before entrusting their assets to an exchange. The survey team tries to find out more about those exchanges and provide investors with more first-hand information for making a better informed trading decision.

The team followed the office address said above and arrived at an office building at 44 Market Street Sydney. The building is located on a busy street with large flow of people.

The name “Independent Reserve” is not listed on the floor directory of the building. To further confirm whether the exchange runs business in this building, the team went o Level 26, but didn’t find any logo or information of the exchange there.

Conclusion

The survey team didn’t find any office of the Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve. According to the information publicly available, the company was established over 7 years ago. Why does a seemingly well-established exchange have no physical office for real? This is indeed very perplexing.
