Abstract:BaFin has recently flagged multiple websites, including stcwelt.com and mega-platz.pro, for offering financial and cryptoasset services without proper authorisation. Stay informed and protect your investments.
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued a series of urgent warnings against multiple online platforms and companies offering unauthorised financial and cryptoasset services. These entities have been actively targeting German investors through deceptive websites and social messaging apps like WhatsApp.
BaFin has identified several websites, including stcwelt.com, mega-platz.pro, consorsglobalfx.com, alpionki.com, and pionex.com, that are providing financial, investment, and crypto-related services without the necessary regulatory approvals. These platforms often present themselves as professional trading firms while hiding or fabricating their legal and operational details. For example:
In a disturbing trend, BaFin also warns about firms like Axionto and Quantum Compute Fonds, which lure investors via WhatsApp groups. These scams use fabricated endorsements and fictional experts, such as the allegedly renowned “Professor Lorenzo Riccardi” and investor “Gil Blake”. Victims are encouraged to invest in dubious platforms like FintechX or FNTCX, often believing they are dealing with licensed entities.
Many of the websites BaFin has flagged follow a recurring pattern: identical website templates, vague company information, and unverifiable claims of licensing. Some even clone or slightly modify previously blocked sites, like consorsglobal.com and its copy consorsglobalfx.com.
These schemes are part of a broader wave of unauthorised forex brokers and crypto platforms exploiting regulatory blind spots and investors lack of verification tools. Investors are urged to verify brokers using trusted sources before making deposits.
BaFin President Mark Branson recently outlined the authority’s dual commitment to digital innovation and systemic stability. Technologies such as AI, distributed ledger systems, and quantum computing are transforming finance but also carry immense risk. BaFins approach, as Branson describes, is to “enable digital progress while ensuring the proper functioning, stability, and integrity of the financial system.”
The watchdog is reinforcing efforts to monitor and counteract financial misconduct while also encouraging responsible innovation. This strategy forms a central pillar of BaFins 2026-2029 strategic objectives.
To safeguard their investments, traders should:
