Abstract:Belgium’s financial watchdog, the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), has issued a warning against the unauthorized activities of multiple platforms that are offering investments in the country without complying with Belgian financial legislation.

FSMA operates as a watchdog for financial trading, securities and markets in Belgium, overseeing a variety of assets and compliance issues for traders and consumers. Todays warning is the latest initiative in its efforts to clamp down on companies engaging in fraudulent activities.
The agency also managed to catch up in the last few months, bringing standalone actions against cryptocurrency operators. This represents the FSMAs latest effort to police the rampant internet-based cryptocurrency schemes, which operate into a zone that the watchdog regulates.

The aforementioned companies are not authorized investment firms in Belgium. They are therefore not allowed to provide investment services in or from within the country.
Based on this, the FSMA strongly advises against responding to any offers of financial or recovery services made by the companies listed above and against transferring money to any account number they might mention.
To get the protections offered by securities laws when trading digital assets, investors should use a platform or entity registered with the FSMA, the regulator said.
Cryptocurrency companies operating in Belgium have to apply for a license to the nations financial watchdog as the new anti-money laundering (AML) regulations come into effect.
License applicants must show to Belgiums Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) that they possess sufficient capability, coherence, and solvency to run the business.
As part of their plans, the FSMA imposes a minimum capital of €50,000 ($53,000) and mandate a corporate structure on cryptoasset-related businesses to register with the countrys regulator.
Once the new regulation takes effect, that would force crypto exchanges, wallet providers and crypto custodial service providers operating in Belgium to register with a financial regulator and prove that they are meeting AML requirements if they want to continue their operations.

FCA warns Swift TradeX in a notice first published and updated on 1 September 2026. The UK Financial Conduct Authority says the firm may be providing or promoting financial services without permission, is not authorised, and may be targeting people in the UK. The notice names the website swifttradexai.com, a Worcester address and a UK telephone number, but also cautions that unauthorised businesses may use incorrect or borrowed contact details. The confirmed issue is authorisation status—not a court finding about every transaction. Anyone considering a payment should stop, verify the firm independently, and avoid using contact information supplied by the platform itself.
