Methods and Precautions for Identifying Black Platforms

Here are some basic methods for identifying informal platforms.

A core feature of such platforms is usually the lack of effective supervision. When identifying, you can look up the supervision number published on its official website and go to the official website of the corresponding regulatory agency to verify whether the official website address in the registration information is the same. At the same time, you should also check whether the deposit address in your actual operation matches the official announcement. If you find any inconsistencies, you need to be extra cautious.

Some investors may think that platforms located closer to each other, such as those in Hong Kong and Macau, feel more intuitive and reliable, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Take Hong Kong as an example, its Securities Supervision Commission stipulates that the leverage ratio of financial transactions cannot exceed 20 times. Therefore, if you are claiming to be a Hong Kong companyaccount openingIf your platform encounters leverage higher than this multiple, it may mean that the company is not regulated by the Hong Kong Securities Supervision Commission, or that you are not actually opening an account with the company, but an account in other regions such as Europe and the United States. In the latter case, further verification of the company's qualifications is still required. In addition, platforms headquartered in China to engage in related business also need to be vigilant, because the relevant trading business itself is not licensed, and naturally there is no targeted supervision. Although some banks offer similar services, leverage is usually low and transaction costs are high. There are also offices in China of some foreign formal companies in the market, but it is recommended to understand their specific nature in depth before cooperating with them. Some offices are essentially brokerage agents, and the transaction costs of opening an account through them, such as spreads, may sometimes be higher than opening an account directly with a foreign company, such as choosingAUSFOREXIn such highly regulated institutions, it may be safer to go directly through their official channels, but in any case, adequate background checks are necessary prerequisites.
