Coinvace

Our investigation into Coinvace found an operation with the classic markings of an investment scam. If you are weighing a deposit — or trying to get one back — read this first.

Who is Coinvace?

On the surface, Coinvace looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://www.coinvace.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind Coinvace is where the problems begin.

Is Coinvace regulated?

Coinvace provides no verifiable regulatory licence. An unregulated broker answers to no one: it can freeze withdrawals, invent fees, and disappear with deposits, all without consequence. This alone is reason enough to stay away.

Red flags we identified

• Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
• Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
• Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
• Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership

Our analysis

On Oct 9, 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning regarding Coinvace, suspecting that this company may be offering financial services or products without the necessary authorization. https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/coinvace-coinvacecom

Can you recover money lost to Coinvace?

If you have deposited with Coinvace, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
