🔬Our Investigation Methodology
Crypto Killer scanned advertising networks between July 1, 2026 and August 13, 2026 and captured 55 creatives tied to CapBit across 1 countries. We cross-check every investigated brand against the UK FCA Financial Services Register and the FCA Warning List via the FCA's official register API, plus SEC EDGAR full-text search. For CapBit, SEC EDGAR full-text search returns 0 documents mentioning the name. The FCA Financial Services Register shows no exact entry for CapBit, meaning it is unregistered with the FCA, and the brand does not currently appear on the FCA Warning List. We also ran host analysis on the associated infrastructure: capbit.org resolves to 103.109.100.253, announced by AS206264 Amarutu Technology Ltd, on an address block sharing 531 hosts. We pattern-match observed creatives, funnels, and hosting against 12,695 documented scam brands. We query public regulator databases only. We hold no affiliation with, and imply no endorsement from, the FCA or SEC.
Reviewed by: Crypto Killer Research Team
Crypto Killer investigates paid-advertising fraud by capturing live creatives at the point of distribution, then tracing the funnels and hosting behind them. We cross-check each brand against public regulator databases, including the UK FCA Financial Services Register, the FCA Warning List, and SEC EDGAR full-text search. Those are public queries, not privileged feeds, and we claim no endorsement or affiliation with any regulator. We add infrastructure analysis, mapping domains to IP addresses and announcing networks. That combination lets us distinguish a low-signal footprint from a confirmed threat rather than guessing from a single ad.

Sources & References
When this review may not apply: This review may not describe your situation in a few cases. If you reached a platform called "CapBit" through an official app store listing, a licensed broker, or a corporate website unrelated to the Irish ad campaign we tracked, you may be looking at a different entity sharing the name. Brand names get reused and cloned. If the site you used carried a valid Central Bank of Ireland or FCA authorization number that checks out on the official register, our findings on the ad-driven operation do not apply to you. Names collide. Confirm the exact domain and any license number against the regulator's own database before assuming this page is about your platform.
