🔬Our Investigation Methodology
Crypto Killer scanned advertising networks between September 9, 2025 and August 13, 2026 and captured 90 TradeGPT creatives running across 17 countries. We logged geo-targeting, video use, and celebrity impersonation in each captured ad. 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 TradeGPT, the FCA has added TradeGPT / tradegpt-ai.net to its Warning List, stating the firm may be providing or promoting financial services without permission. The FCA Financial Services Register returns no entry for TradeGPT, which means it is unregistered. SEC EDGAR full-text search surfaces 18 documents mentioning "TradeGPT." We query these public databases directly and claim no endorsement, affiliation, or privileged access. We also pattern-match against 12,695 documented scam brands to compare creative and funnel behavior.
Reviewed by: Crypto Killer Research Team
Crypto Killer investigates crypto-advertising fraud by combining ad-network surveillance with regulator database checks. We capture live creatives, track geo-targeting and impersonation, and measure how fast a brand scales. We verify claims against public sources: the UK FCA Financial Services Register, the FCA Warning List, and SEC EDGAR full-text search. These are public databases we query directly, so no endorsement or affiliation is implied. That method lets us separate marketing spin from verifiable regulatory status and show readers the evidence behind each finding.

Sources & References
When this review may not apply: This review may not describe your situation in a few cases. You may have used a different product that reuses the TradeGPT name, since generic AI-trading branding is copied widely across operators. You may have reached a licensed broker in your own jurisdiction that happens to share similar wording. The FCA warning cited here names TradeGPT / tradegpt-ai.net specifically, so confirm the exact domain you deposited through before assuming it matches. If your platform holds a verifiable license number you can confirm on a national regulator's register, treat that as a separate entity and check it directly.
Important Disclaimer
This review covers Crypto Killer's investigation of TradeGPT between September 9, 2025 and August 13, 2026, dated 2026-07-16. TradeGPT is under active investigation. Verify before depositing. Findings reflect advertising data and public regulator records available during that window and may change as new evidence emerges or as the operator alters its branding or domains. TradeGPT holds a threat score of 21/100 and warrants caution and further verification; it has not met the evidentiary threshold for a Watchlist designation. This is not financial, legal, or investment advice. Confirm any platform's regulatory status through official databases and consult a licensed professional before acting on money decisions.
