Re: [Index] Coinoindex.com asset tied to top 20 altcoins by capitalization

I'm sure they are on the way to do it.
They have strict KYC/AML now, and are quite concerned about the legal issues in general.

Who regulates Poloniex? Where are they located? There isn't much information on their site. Seems odd.

Poloniex is a fully compliant US company, Poloniex LLC
here's the link to the company registry: https://app.mt.gov/cgi-bin/bes/besCertificate.cgi?action=detail&bessearch=C246785&trans_id=besa151931512503a5001

Fully compliant is a bit of a stretch. They are not registered with FINRA, nor do they hold any money transmitting licenses. They are incorporated as a limited liability company... Which anyone can do online for a couple hundred bucks. However, Poloniex has been around for a couple years now and I would not be that concerned holding funds there. Just know that it is not "fully compliant" as the user above claimed, if that affects your decision to use them or not.
