Inspection Reason

East Asia and North America (mainly the United States) are the two largest cryptocurrency transaction markets in the world, with transaction volume accounting for about half of the global crypto market. Compared with many exchanges in East Asia, exchanges in the U.S. are subject to stricter supervision. And the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is in the country. In order to help investors understand the cryptocurrency exchanges in America more comprehensively, the survey team went to the United States for field survey.

Survey Process

The survey team visited Compound in San Francisco, whose address is 99 SHOTWELL STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

Based on the above address, the survey personnel found a low-rise building at No. 99 SHOTWELL STREET in San Francisco, USA, which is a single-story factory or warehouse and far from San Francisco.

Upon arriving, the team found it was a factory or warehouse and the logo outside the door showed it was an advertising company called "GUMAS" instead of Compound.

Survey Summary

The investigators visited the cryptocurrency exchange Compound in San Francisco, USA. It was a factory or warehouse in the place publicly displayed by the exchange. The logo outside the door belonged to an advertising company, rather than Compound, which means the exchange may not have a real business office. Investors are advised to choose Compound carefully.
