Regulatory Status

Our regulatory status

This page sets out Secure Chain's regulatory status clearly, so there is no ambiguity about what we do and do not do.

What we are

Secure Chain is a UK-registered private limited company providing digital-asset investigation, tracing and documentation services. Our role is to gather, analyse and present evidence relating to the movement of cryptocurrency.

What we are not

We are not a bank, a payment institution, a custodian, an exchange, or an investment firm. We do not hold client funds, we do not carry out transactions on a client's behalf, and we do not provide personalised investment, legal or tax advice.

FCA position

Our investigative and documentation services do not constitute regulated financial services under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Accordingly, Secure Chain is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Clients requiring regulated legal or financial advice should consult an appropriately authorised professional, and we are happy to work alongside such advisers.
