Some operations earn a place on the Cointiverse map through victim reports; 9 Square FX arrived by regulator flag. Both routes end at the same coordinates: elevated risk.
Position on the risk map
9 Square FX does not claim to be licensed by any regulator; it only claims to be registered in Saint Lucia. While we can confirm that there is a company with the same name in the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre (IFC) registry, this registration only grants it International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The IFC neither regulates nor licences forex trading activities. Being unregulated is a major red flag for a fraudulent operation. Therefore, 9 Square FX appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
- No verifiable licence for the jurisdictions it targets
- Withdrawal friction: new fees or conditions appear at cash-out time
If you have funds with 9 Square FX
Stop sending money immediately – especially any payment framed as a tax, unlock fee, or verification deposit. Preserve everything: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, receipts, chat logs and emails. The paper trail is what a recovery review runs on.
