@NCA_UK Another good result following our work in partnership with @NCA_UK alongside @ASPolice and @DC_Police.

[Financial Conduct Authority @TheFCA]

We led our first on-site operation targeting illegal peer-to-peer crypto trading, with @HMRCgovUK and @SWROCU

Peer-to-peer trading is when individuals buy and sell crypto directly with each other, rather than using a centralised exchange. Any unregistered peer-to-peer crypto traders operating in the UK are doing so illegally.

Collaboration across regulatory and law enforcement partners is key to fighting financial crime and keeping markets clean.
