Some operations earn a place on the Cointiverse map through victim reports; IBS Markets arrived by regulator flag. Both routes end at the same coordinates: elevated risk.
Position on the risk map
On November 21, 2024, the Italian Companies and Exchange Commission (CONSOB) ordered IBS Markets to be blacked out since it offers financial services illegally in Italy. https://www.consob.it/web/consob-and-its-activities/news-in-detail/-/asset_publisher/kcxlUuOyjO9x/content/press-release-of-21-november-2024-warnings-/718268
Red flags on the map
- No verifiable licence for the jurisdictions it targets
- Withdrawal friction: new fees or conditions appear at cash-out time
- Aggressive outreach through social platforms and messaging apps
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
