Who is SturdyFX?
SturdyFX markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://www.sturdyfx.com/m/index.html. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.
Is SturdyFX regulated?
We could find no evidence that SturdyFX holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
Our analysis
While SturdyFX claims to be regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and incorporated in the United States, it fails to provide a valid license number, and no registration record is found on ASIC’s official registry. Additionally, it is not authorized or regulated by the National Futures Association (NFA), the primary U.S. regulatory body for derivatives trading. These findings indicate that SturdyFX operates without proper licensing or oversight, posing significant financial and legal risks to investors and strongly suggesting that the company is a scam.
Can you recover money lost to SturdyFX?
If you have deposited with SturdyFX, 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.
