Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Golden Wave is on the register
Golden Wave claims to be a reliable broker without presenting any information about its regulation. The lack of such important information may be a distinct signal of an unlicensed broker, as regulated brokers always present their accreditation and licenses in a prominent position. It is a red flag. Downloading its trading platform, we found that Golden Wave is a Belize-based firm, and then searched the Belize Financial Services Commission (Belize FSC). But there is no matching result. That means this broker is not authorized to provide financial services in Belize. Not regulated by any regulators, letting this broker to hold or control customers’ money is unsafe and the money can not be protected by any laws. 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.
