Every entity in this index passes through the Cointiverse cartography pipeline before it is pinned to the chart. ABTrade enters with its coordinates already flashing: an official warning record sits behind the listing, and the surrounding pattern matches operations our team has mapped many times before.
Reading the coordinates
ABTrade’s website does not display any regulatory information, and crucially, it fails to disclose the legal entity name behind the operation. While the site lists an address in Saint Vincent, the absence of a registered company name makes it impossible to verify whether it is even registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Moreover, it should be noted that even if registered, such registration would typically fall under the International Business Companies (IBC) framework, which does not equate to a license to conduct regulated forex trading activities. The SVG FSA does not regulate or license forex brokers. In reality, ABTrade seems to operate without any legitimate regulatory supervision. Given these serious red flags, ABTrade appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Aggressive outreach through social platforms and messaging apps
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
If you have funds with ABTrade
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.
