Who is UTrade Markets?
On the surface, UTrade Markets looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://utrademarkets.com. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind UTrade Markets is where the problems begin.
Is UTrade Markets regulated?
UTrade 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
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
Our analysis
According to its website, it claims regulated by the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (the 'FSC Mauritius') and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). Upon investigation, no matching information was found in the FSC and CySEC. In essence, UTrade Markets is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting it with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. UTrade Markets appears to be a scam.
