AFAIK no, as in there's no "Binance headquarters" you can go to, or write to... The company is apparently registered in the Cayman Islands, but it's pretty easy to register a company there without operations.

If that's true why would they be coy about it?
There are loads of jurisdictions where every single company invoice has to state the company's registration details (registered number and registered address).
A company being registered somewhere is no more than a PO Box and some paperwork.
My guess about why Binance avoids having a headquarters location would be trying to reduce the risk of regulators and tax authorities paying a lot more attention to them.

Quite, which is why it seems so odd for any company to even consider skipping these steps. Isn't this the kind of basic stuff that founders do in the first week of starting a business?
