CryptoAltum Review

About CryptoAltum

CryptoAltum is registered in the Marshall Islands and is not regulated by any recognised financial authority such as the FCA, ASIC, or CySEC ― registration in this jurisdiction does not equate to authorization to provide financial services (). It offers trading via the MetaTrader 5 platform across more than 60 cryptocurrency CFDs as well as forex, indices, precious metals, and energies; it operates ECN/STP execution and offers leverage up to 1:500 for forex and up to 1:100 for crypto CFDs ().

Account types include “CryptoAltum ECN” and “CryptoAltum Standard,” both requiring a minimum deposit of approximately $100 or equivalent in cryptocurrency. Deposits and withdrawals are accepted exclusively in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and TrueUSD (TUSD). Commissions for the ECN account are charged (e.g. $35 per $1M for forex), whereas Standard accounts have no commission; spreads are tight but variable ().

There is no investor compensation scheme, no fund segregation is confirmed, and customer reviews report difficulties with withdrawals and responsiveness, raising substantial concerns about fund safety and transparency ().
