HitBTC

HitBTC claims to be a Europe-based cryptocurrency exchange. However their website appears to deliberately make it impossible for customers to know the jurisdiction of the legal entity behind HitBTC known as Hit Solutions Inc or who are shareholders or directors of the same https://hitbtc.com/legal-information. HitBTC could therefore arguably be categorised as a cryptocurrency exchange with an anonymous ownership structure and an unknown place of legal residence. HitBTC is a Europe-based cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2013. Launched as a Bitcoin exchange, it soon started listing alternative cryptocurrencies, and currently provides trading markets for almost all popular digital currencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Monero, Dash, etc.).^[1]
