Who is Aktien AG?
On the surface, Aktien AG looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://aktien.ag/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind Aktien AG is where the problems begin.
Is Aktien AG regulated?
We could find no evidence that Aktien AG 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
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
Our analysis

The company is not supervised by BaFin. The information provided on the company’s website, aktien.ag, gives reasonable grounds to suspect that AKTIEN C LTD is conducting banking business and providing financial services in the Federal Republic of Germany without the required authorisation.
