UVKXE Clarification Statement: A Legally Compliant Trading Platform with International Accreditation

Published

on

DENVER — Recently, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) published a list on its official website of cryptocurrency trading platforms that have not met its local registration requirements, mentioning UVKXE. UVKXE takes this matter seriously and wishes to clarify its credentials and compliance status to its users.

Global Compliance Credentials of UVKXE

UVKXE is committed to operating under legal and compliant principles, upholding a user-first core value. The platform has obtained several certifications from international authoritative regulatory bodies, including but not limited to:

U.S. MSB License
UVKXE has obtained the MSB license issued by the U.S. FinCEN. This certification represents the highest recognition by the U.S. government for financial service institutions, ensuring that UVKXE can legally conduct cryptocurrency-related business.

U.S. SEC License
As one of the few cryptocurrency trading platforms registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), UVKXE complies with securities and investment-related legal regulations, providing users with a safer and more transparent investment environment.

Background on the Malaysian Public List

UVKXE is in communication with relevant departments to understand local specific regulations and to advance the registration process, ensuring compliance with local market requirements.

Commitment to Legal Compliance and User-Centric Values
