Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Aether Capital is on the register
Aether Capital claims to regulated broker providing trading services since 2015. But when we checked its domain, we found it was created in 2021. So how could it start its business in 2015? It is a red flag here. Besides, Aether Capital claims to be regulated by three of the world’s leading financial jurisdictions and shows its three company offices respectively in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong SAR, and Australia. As per these claims and relevant law, we searched the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HK SFC), and the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). First, we did not find any match results for this broker in HK SFC. Second, we found a company named “Aether Capital Investments Ltd” in ASIC and FCA, but the regulatory status in the two regulators both ceased. The truth is, Aether Capital is not under valid regulation by any regulators to provide investment services. Investors’ funds in this company are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is a scam.
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.
