BaFin warns over three unlicensed crypto and financial sites

  • —BaFin flagged kalyptowave.net under § 10(7) of the Crypto Markets Supervision Act
  • —captrader.group impersonated CapTrader GmbH with no connection to the real firm
  • —mraib.com offered banking services without a license under § 37(4) of the KWG
  • —None of the three operators is supervised by BaFin
Why it matters: The warning underscores the need to verify a provider's license in BaFin's database before depositing funds, as a familiar brand name proves nothing.
