Zedxion

UK-registered centralized digital-asset exchange whose corporate and regulatory position deteriorated sharply in 2026. OFAC designated Zedxion Exchange Ltd on 2026-01-30 for operating in Iran's financial sector and for materially supporting the IRGC. Companies House later dissolved the UK company through compulsory strike-off on 2026-05-12 after identifying misleading, false, or deceptive incorporation information. HEI classifies Zedxion as limited rather than dead because its public exchange website remained accessible and continued to advertise registration and trading after the corporate dissolution date.

Summary

UK-registered centralized digital-asset exchange whose corporate and regulatory position deteriorated sharply in 2026. OFAC designated Zedxion Exchange Ltd on 2026-01-30 for operating in Iran's financial sector and for materially supporting the IRGC. Companies House later dissolved the UK company through compulsory strike-off on 2026-05-12 after identifying misleading, false, or deceptive incorporation information.

Timeline

Zedxion's UK corporate exchange lineage was established
2021-05-17launchedmedium

Zedxion Exchange Ltd was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 2021-05-17. OFAC later identified it as a UK-registered digital-asset exchange and used the same establishment date in its designation record.

OFAC designated Zedxion Exchange Ltd
2026-01-30regulatory_actioncritical

The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Zedxion Exchange Ltd under Iran-sector and counterterrorism authorities. Treasury stated that Zedxion-linked addresses had processed funds for wallets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and designated the exchange for operating in Iran's financial sector and materially supporting the IRGC.

Companies House dissolved Zedxion Exchange Ltd
2026-05-12regulatory_actioncritical

Companies House recorded the final compulsory strike-off and dissolution of Zedxion Exchange Ltd on 2026-05-12. The registrar stated that the action related to incorporation information or statements considered misleading, false, or deceptive. The public exchange website nevertheless remained accessible after the dissolution date, so HEI records a limited rather than terminal dead-side status.

Notes and record state

Record note
The launch date uses the UK entity's incorporation date as the earliest authoritative public-lineage marker; an independently verified exact trading-launch date has not been established. status is limited because the legal entity was dissolved and the exchange was designated by OFAC, but the public website still presented active exchange services as of verification. death_reason and death_date remain null until operational cessation is directly established.
