Introduction: The Two Faces of an Exchange Awards Regular In our first 39 installments, we investigated a range of exchanges, from HashKey to Tokocrypto. For Episode 40, we turn to a platform with an impressive trophy cabinet and a growing list of legal and regulatory troubles: XT.com. XT.coms marketing credentials are certainly impressive. Founded in 2018, the exchange claims 12 million registered users worldwide, coverage across more than 200 countries and regions, support for over 1,300 tokens and 1,300+ trading pairs, and approximately $3.4 billion in daily trading volume. Headquartered in Dubai, it promotes itself as a socially integrated trading platform. In 2024, it received multiple industry awards, including recognition as a “Best Cryptocurrency Exchange.” It also regularly publishes Merkle tree proof-of-reserves reports, claiming reserve ratios of over 120% for BTC, ETH, and USDT. On paper, does this sound like the perfect image of a global social trading exchange? But there is another side to the story. In 2023, Quebecs financial markets regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), ruled that XT.com had violated securities laws. In March 2025, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) followed up with a CAD 2 million administrative penalty and a comprehensive ban on XT.com conducting securities-related activities in Ontario. In 2026,

Introduction: The A and B Sides of a “Living Fossil” in Crypto Over the first 16 editions, we dug into a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to Hibt. Today, in the 17th edition, we turn to a genuine crypto “old-timer” — BigONE. Its résumé reads like a “living fossil” of the crypto industry: “Founded in 2017,” “the original Yunbi team,” “co-founded by Li Xiaolai and Old Cat (Yu Wenzhuo),” “incubated by INBlockchain (InBlockchain Capital),” “ranked No. 40 globally on CoinMarketCap,” “nine years of operating history,” and “approximately $426 million in Proof of Reserves (PoR).” Sounds like a veteran, legitimate crypto institution, right? But on the other side of the story — Japans Financial Services Agency (FSA) has repeatedly warned and cracked down on it for “continuing to operate without obtaining a license despite receiving multiple warnings.” On September 2, 2026, the Korea Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) found that BigONE was allegedly operating in South Korea without registration and called for a police investigation. CoinPaprika labels it “not MiCA compliant,” with a confidence score of only 5.76%. WikiBit describes it as operating under “loose regulation.” CoinGecko gives it a Trust Score of 5/10, while Trustpilot rates it just 2/5. In July 2025, BigONE suffered a supply-chain

Introduction: A “Split-Personality” Exchange With Impressive Data and Extremely Difficult Withdrawals In the previous 15 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to OrangeX. For the 16th edition, we are looking at one of the most “split-personality” platforms in the crypto industry — Hibt. Its resume sounds almost like a crypto “humblebrag” masterpiece:“Registered in Canada in 2021”“Headquartered in Dubai, with operations across Japan, South Korea, and other regions”“Holding Canadian and U.S. MSB registrations”“470+ cryptocurrencies and 500+ trading pairs”“Ranked among the global top 50 exchanges on CoinMarketCap, with over $1 billion in 24-hour spot trading volume”“90% of assets stored in cold wallets”“200+ professional employees”“Serving more than 3 million users worldwide” At first glance, this sounds like a platform with the configuration of a top-10 global exchange. But on the other side:WikiBit rating: 6.06/10, labeled “No Effective Regulation”Trustpilot rating: 2.2/5, with users openly calling it a “SCAM”Some users report that withdrawal applications have remained under review for more than two months, with funds never returned So how did a “data giant” claiming billions in trading volume become a “withdrawal black hole” in users eyes? Today, we break it down layer by layer.1. Regulatory Compliance: An MSB Is a “Sticker,” Not a Real License Hibts “Compliance Package”
