Claimed Regulation: CLAIMED ASIC (AFSL 603154). UNAUTHORIZED FOR RETAIL INVESTORS.
Liquid Brokers (liquidbrokers.com) is an offshore brokerage utilizing a 2016 domain for a recently launched (2024) trading operation. While the firm prominently displays an ASIC license to build trust, our forensic analysis confirms this license is restricted to 'Wholesale Clients' and does not authorize retail financial services. The platform is heavily promoted by social media influencers (e.g., MambaFX) and is a subject of numerous reports regarding 'Infinite Verification Loops' and the disappearance of client deposits.

Liquid Brokers uses the facade of an Australian AFSL license to operate as an unregulated retail broker. Our forensic investigation confirms that they ignore the 'Wholesale Only' restrictions of their claimed authorization. Furthermore, the platform has transitioned from 'instant' to 'delayed' withdrawals, implementing arbitrary 'wallet verification' checks that stall fund recovery for weeks. The relationship with social media influencers like MambaFX is a key recruitment vector for this high-risk platform.
The Liquid Brokers business model relies on 'Age Inflation.' By using a domain registered in 2016, they circumvent basic trust checks, even though the platform only started operating in late 2024. This is combined with 'Influencer Recruitment' where gurus like MambaFX promote the site as 'legit' to thousands of low-information followers. Once in the system, users report 'Chart Latency' and 'Stop Loss Hunting,' where prices unnaturally spikes to liquidate positions, followed by a 'Verification Horror Show' when trying to withdraw the remaining balance. These 'glitches' often occur exactly when a trader attempts to close a profitable position, resulting in immediate losses.
Our team has verified that Liquid Brokers employs 'Hidden Commission' structures. Users report withdrawing a specific amount (e.g., $108) but receiving significantly less (e.g., $103) with no breakdown of fees. Even more concerning are reports of 'Vanishing Deposits'—where capital is sent via Moonpay or crypto but never appears in the trading account, with support brushing off victims with generic responses. Their ASIC CAR status provides zero protection for these retail accounts, as the license was never intended to cover individual retail trading. In cases of account hacking, support has shown zero urgency, leaving funds entirely unprotected.
| Wallet Verification Fee | Often used to stall recovery |
|---|---|
| Hidden Spread | Variable (Suspected Market Manipulation) |
| Exit Commission | Discrepancy of 5-10% per transfer |
| Verification Delay | 12 - 48 Hours+ (Systematic Cycle) |
Crypto withdrawals used to be almost instant with this broker. Now they take almost 12 hours or more. After they reached out to me about 'verifying the wallets' I never changed, it has become a total nightmare. I withdrawn 2k last year and it took 20 mins. Now it's a horror show. They keep you waiting while they 'review' your own wallet.
I made a deposit, and it showed it went through, but now they won't give me back my money. The deposit doesn't appear in my account, and I've lost all my money to them. I've reached out but support just says to wait. It's binary options theft disguised as a legit platform. Stay away from Liquid Brokers.
Horrible broker. No matter where you enter it will always hunt your stop until you are out. After 30 seconds it will decode your entry and go the other way. Also the platform glitches when you try to close positions, you come back and they are not closed or the platform freezes for 20 minutes. It's a scam promoted by social media gurus.
Technically yes, but practically no. They cite an Australian AFSL license that is restricted to 'Wholesale Clients' only. By soliciting retail investors, Liquid Brokers is operating outside the scope of their regulatory authorization, meaning retail traders have no legal protection.
Users have reported a shift from 'instant' to 'delayed' withdrawal processing. This is typically used to implement 'Verification Loops' (demanding wallet proofs) as a stalling tactic to avoid paying out profits.
If your deposit via Moonpay or Crypto has not been credited, act immediately. This is a common failure reported by dozens of users. Contact our forensic trace team to begin the recovery process →
