Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why AquaMarkets is on the register
AquaMarkets claims to operate through AquaMarkets Ltd registered in Saint Lucia but no such registration is found with the Saint Lucia International Financial Services Authority and IBC registration there does not imply regulatory oversight for forex trading as the authority does not license retail forex brokers. The platform also mentions a presence in the United Arab Emirates yet searches with the Dubai Financial Services Authority(DFSA) and the Securities and Commodities Authority(SCA) reveal no licensed entity. With no verifiable regulatory authorization from reputable financial regulators to ensure investor protection AquaMarkets appears to be a scam and investors should avoid it.
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.
