Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Liyan Broker is on the register
Liyan Broker claims regulatory oversight in Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, and the UAE, but our investigation reveals these claims to be misleading or false. While Liyan Trading LTD and Liyan Trading LLC are registered as an International Business Company (IBC) in Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent, neither jurisdiction’s authority regulates forex activities, making the assertion of being “regulated” highly deceptive. Furthermore, despite claiming UAE regulation and a Dubai office, no record of Liyan Broker exists with the UAE’s primary financial regulators—the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) or the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). These discrepancies strongly suggest that Liyan Broker is falsely representing its regulatory status to gain investor trust, a hallmark of fraudulent operations.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
