UK regulators have taken legal action against HTX, the exchange linked to Justin Sun, marking a major step in the country\u2019s effort to police unlawful crypto promotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As per the <\/span>Reuters report<\/span><\/a>, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) filed a civil lawsuit on Wednesday, October 22, in London\u2019s High Court against HTX, previously known as Huobi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regulator claims the exchange promoted crypto services to UK consumers without proper authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case also names four unidentified individuals associated with HTX\u2019s operations and marketing activities. The FCA stated that the action is part of its effort to protect consumers and maintain trust in the country\u2019s financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n

HTX, long associated with Tron founder Justin Sun, who serves as an adviser to the platform and is the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Liberland, has not issued a response.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does the High Court Case Mean for Foreign Crypto Exchanges Targeting the UK?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The FCA did not provide much information regarding the filing but indicated that it is connected with the breach of the UK financial promotions regime, which was introduced in 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rule will see crypto companies meet stringent requirements before advertising to customers in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

The legal move highlights the increasing scope of cryptocurrency regulators in their jurisdiction over the crypto enterprises that target British consumers abroad. It is also an indication that companies associated with big names, such as Sun, are now being scrutinized more carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ruling, now that the case is in the High Court, may influence how foreign exchanges adopt compliance in one of the most regulated financial markets in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regulators had warned the company months before the case. In October 2023, the FCA <\/span>added<\/span><\/a> HTX, formerly Huobi, to its list of warnings, describing it as an unauthorized company that could be targeting UK customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

All entities encouraging UK consumers to use crypto, regardless of location, should be authorized or have their advertisements accepted under new FCA regulations, effective from October 8, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How is TRX Price Reacting to the Justin Sun Court Case?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tron\u2019s token, TRX, was <\/span>trading<\/span><\/a> near $0.32 late Tuesday in down about -1% for the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
