Who is Ocean Trade?
Ocean Trade markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://ocean-trade.org/en/;https://perfectglobaltrade.org/en/;https://livetradeinvestment.com/en/;https://cryptoprofitrade.com/en/;https://coinminetinvest.com/en/;https://cryptoprofitrade.com/en/;https://cnkglobalinvestment.com/en/;https://stakefunds.org/en/;https://episodegrab.org/en/;https://upliftfxinvest.net/;https://coinfinancefxtrading.com/;https://realearners.net/;https://coinfinancefxtrading.com/. 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 Ocean Trade regulated?
We could find no evidence that Ocean Trade 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
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
Our analysis

Can you recover money lost to Ocean Trade?
If you have deposited with Ocean Trade, 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.
