TheFBTC Review

About TheFBTC

TheFBTC operates without any valid license from recognized regulatory authorities. The Spanish regulator Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) issued a public warning on 30 September 2024 stating that TheFBTC (domain thefbtc.com) is not authorised to provide investment services related to financial instruments, including currency transactions.

The firm claims a base in Switzerland, yet there is no record of authorization with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

TheFBTC (operating also via fbtc.io) is included in the blacklist by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in Québec, confirmed on 10 January 2025, due to unlicensed financial activities.

The broker advertises a range of asset classes—including forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and crypto—but does not provide verified details on platforms, account types, minimum deposit, spreads/commissions, maximum leverage, base currencies, swap-free options, hedging rules, or trading tools. Reports indicate a high minimum deposit for basic account at approximately $1,500 and maximum leverage of up to 200:1, though these figures are unverified due to lack of transparency.
