Dear Investor,
Pendoxa claims to be operated by CoinShares International Limited and belongs to the CoinShares Group. This group allegedly includes CoinShares (Jersey) Limited (regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission - JFSC), CoinShares Asset Management (authorized by the Autorité des marchés financiers - AMF), and CoinShares Capital Markets (UK) Limited, an appointed representative of Strata Global Ltd., which is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). However, our investigation reveals multiple critical discrepancies that strongly suggest this platform is a potential scam:
Firstly, while CoinShares (Jersey) Limited does exist in the JFSC system, its status is merely registered. It does not hold a valid forex trading license granted by this regulatory authority. Secondly, we found no registration records for this company under the AMF.
Thirdly, although the FCA has registered the mentioned subsidiary company, the domain name listed on the FCA register does not match Pendoxa's website. More importantly, the parent company's authorized business scope explicitly excludes retail derivatives trading. Therefore, even if Pendoxa were genuinely affiliated with this group, opening accounts for retail investors would fall entirely outside their authorized scope of operations.
Finally, the Italian financial regulator, Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB), has already issued an official warning specifically against the Pendoxa platform.
Based on these findings, we consider Pendoxa to be a highly suspicious and potentially fraudulent platform. We strongly advise all investors to stay away from it and avoid any financial engagement.
