Motion Markets

After reviewing Motion Markets, we assess it as a high-risk, likely fraudulent broker. Below we break down exactly why, and what your options are if you have already deposited.

Who is Motion Markets?

On the surface, Motion Markets looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://motion-markets.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind Motion Markets is where the problems begin.

Is Motion Markets regulated?

Motion Markets 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.

Red flags we identified

• Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
• Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
• No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator

Our analysis

On 27 Oct 2022, the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) issued a warning that Motion Markets was not registered to trade in, or advise on, securities or derivatives in BC. You may visit: https://www.bcsc.bc.ca/enforcement/early-intervention/investment-caution-list/2022/motion-markets

Can you recover money lost to Motion Markets?

If you have deposited with Motion Markets, 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.
