About BitForex
BitForex does not hold any regulatory licenses from recognized financial authorities such as the FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or the SFC, and operates as an unregulated cryptocurrency exchange; it is not authorized by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), which publicly designated BitForex as a suspicious virtual asset trading platform on March 4, 2024, and requested law enforcement to block its website and social media links , .
In Malaysia, the Securities Commission (SC) added BitForex to its Investor Alert List in November 2020, indicating that the firm may be a clone involved in illegal, unlicensed capital market activities . BitForex presents no verifiable regulatory credentials or license numbers, and warnings from multiple regulators confirm its unlicensed status .
BitForex's operations have experienced severe disruptions. Its team faced detention by Jiangsu police on February 23, 2024, leading to the platform going offline and halting withdrawals; limited withdrawal services resumed on July 24, 2024, with mandatory KYC and an announcement that trading, deposits, and new registrations remain suspended . A management fee policy was introduced in December 2025: accounts failing to withdraw funds by December 25, 2025, will incur a 5 % monthly fee (minimum USD 10), applicable regardless of balance, subject to account snapshots on the 25th of each month .
