Trademaster (TradeMasterCFD) Scam Warning: Crypto and CFD

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 7 November 2026

Trademaster, which gave Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands, as its address, was a platform offering crypto derivatives and CFD trading through trademastercfd.com. Three separate supervisory authorities in Canada and France issued investor warnings about this brand between 2024 and 2025; the domain name is now unclaimed.

In short: Trademaster (TradeMasterCFD) is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). Foreign authorities have recorded that unauthorised investments were collected under the promise of crypto derivatives and CFDs. Legal routes exist for claiming the money back.
