BaFin warns against multiple unauthorized financial and crypto platforms

2 hours ago BrokersView

Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued a new series of warnings against multiple websites suspected of offering unauthorized banking, investment, financial and crypto-asset services. Several of the platforms were also found to be impersonating legitimate financial institutions through identity theft.

 

BaFin said the cases include unauthorized trading platforms, fraudulent fixed-term deposit offers, fake pre-IPO investment schemes, and crypto investment services. In several instances, operators falsely claimed to represent licensed companies in the UK, Switzerland, Cyprus or Germany to gain investors' trust. The regulator also identified a coordinated group of nearly identical crypto trading websites using the slogan "Improve Your Crypto Trading Experience", indicating a broader fraudulent network.

 

The regulator reminded consumers that banking, investment, securities and crypto-asset services may only be provided in Germany with BaFin authorization and urged investors to verify firms through its official company database before investing.
