They personally say that they are some in the Seychelles and then claim of "a colocation in London"

HitBTC cryptocurrency exchange is a platform created in 2013 by Estonian experts and Israeli entrepreneurs that allows you to trade more than 300 cryptocurrency pairs

The location of the HitBTC headquarters isn't totally clear. There are several countries associated with the exchange. For instance, according to the exchange website, Hit Tech Solutions Development Ltd, a company responsible for the Privacy Policy questions, is registered in Seychelles. Any jurisdictional issues concerning HitBTC are solved in Seychelles. The About Us section doesn't provide any mention of team members or the headquarters location. We can learn that the data center is located in London while the representative office can be found in Chile.
If we look at the HitBTC reviews we will find out that there are a number of other countries that for some reason are named as the location of the exchange. One of the countries usually associated with HitBTC is Hong Kong. Another version is that the company is headquartered in the United Kingdom. Although it is not mentioned on the HitBTC's website, there is information that the exchange has offices in London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore, Malta, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago.
The team anonymity and the lack of clearness about the headquarters location make some individuals distrust the platform. However, the website definitely states that the Hit Tech Solutions Development is based in Seychelles and the exchange has its rep office in Chile

This is getting to be a joke. When someone comes to me and says "how do we open a successful exchange", the first thing I say is "Put your damn name on the site with a legal corporation and you are already the top 5 exchanges without any volume"
This is what I get from my research:
“HITBTC” was founded by “Ullus Corporation”. The company was incorporated in 2013 and claims to be licensed as a financial company. Operating accounts were opened in “SWED Bank” and “SEB Bank”. Swedbank AB is a Nordic-Baltic banking group offering retail banking, asset management, financial, and other services with Stockholm. The latter Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB is also a Nordic bank Its activities comprise mainly banking services, but SEB also carries out significant life insurance operations and also owns Eurocard.
Ullus Corporation's website is down (ulluscorp.com), but looking at a cached version of the site it says "The company’s headquarters, since its inception, are located in Hong-Kong" and also repeatedly talk about their Financial License, but don't say from which country. (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.ulluscorp.com/)
This is where it get's interesting, the company also registered CatPay.com which is some sort of a Bitcoin wallet. Both domains are now under private registration and try to not be connected to each other. CatPay's customer service line is in Estonia.
Both of those domains are owned by ulluscorp.com which has been taken down. You can easily get RAW versions of the old Whois file on the registration

Anyways, I'll have some of my friends in Panama check out their office to see if it exists.
For now, STAY AWAY.
