Who is SANTOS MARKET LTD?
On the surface, SANTOS MARKET LTD looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://santosmarket.net/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind SANTOS MARKET LTD is where the problems begin.
Is SANTOS MARKET LTD regulated?
SANTOS MARKET LTD 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.

- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
