Warning on Illegal Crypto ATMs Operating in the UK（FCA 2022/3/11）
We have warned operators of crypto ATMs in the UK to shut their machines
down or face enforcement action.
Crypto ATMs offering cryptoasset exchange services in the UK must be
registered with us and comply with UK Money Laundering Regulations (MLR). None
of the cryptoasset firms registered with us have been approved to offer crypto ATM
services, meaning that any of them operating in the UK are doing so illegally and
consumers should not be using them.
The Upper Tribunal recently ruled against Gidiplus, a firm offering crypto ATM
services, which wanted to continue trading, pending the Upper Tribunal’s
determination of its appeal against us refusing its application for registration under the
MLRs. The judge concluded that there was a ‘lack of evidence as to how Gidiplus
would undertake its business in a broadly compliant fashion’.
We are concerned about crypto ATM machines operating in the UK and will
therefore be contacting the operators instructing that the machines be shut down or
face further action.
Since we published the list of unregistered crypto firms that may have been
continuing to conduct business, a recent assessment found that 110 are no longer
operational.
We regularly warn consumers that cryptoassets are unregulated and high-risk
which means people are very unlikely to have any protection if things go wrong, so
people should be prepared to lose all their money if they choose to invest in them.
