Who is E Crypto Trade?
On the surface, E Crypto Trade looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://e-cryptotrade.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind E Crypto Trade is where the problems begin.
Is E Crypto Trade regulated?
We could find no evidence that E Crypto 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
- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
