Security Alert
Following the full implementation of the EU’s MiCA regulation, many unlicensed platforms have stopped providing services. Scammers are exploiting the resulting demand for asset migration by impersonating regulators, licensed exchanges and customer support representatives. They may send phishing links disguised as account migration, fund verification or management fee notices. Users who transfer funds, disclose seed phrases or approve malicious wallet permissions could suffer irreversible asset losses. Before moving assets, verify the provider through ESMA’s official register and the platform’s official website. Never click links received through unsolicited messages, pay fees to supposed customer support agents or disclose seed phrases, private keys or verification codes.
