- Offers: Forex and CFD trading on MetaTrader 5, plus 'Copy Trading' and an IB partner program.
- Not accepted: The site says it does not serve residents of the USA, UAE and Turkey, even though its operation appears to be Turkey-based.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We reached 'likely scam' because the core protections a real broker gives you are all missing, and there are reports of lost money.
- No licence, but it takes deposits. We could not find NYX Markets Ltd on any financial regulator. An unlicensed firm that holds your money has no supervision and no compensation scheme behind it.
- It hides its identity. The website gives no registered address and names no country of incorporation. A genuine broker tells you which company holds your funds and where.
- The money rails point to a trap. Deposits are pushed toward crypto (Tether and Bitcoin). The single bank option charges 6 to 8 percent on withdrawals and demands a 5,000 dollar minimum, which is a strong disincentive to ever cash out by traceable means.
- Users report theft. A reviewer warns 'do not invest with them', alleging funds were taken, and multiple independent review platforms flag the broker as unregulated or a scam.
- The story does not add up. It advertises nine years of experience and uses AI-generated imagery, while showing no licence, no team, and a domain that is about six years old.
Note on operating history: the 6.1-year track record rests on domain registration alone. No company incorporation date could be established, so this is an upper bound rather than a confirmed age.

The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness, here is the case for caution rather than certainty.
- The domain has existed since 2020, so this is not a brand-new drop-catch site. Some real but low-quality offshore brokers also operate this way.
- The public complaint footprint is thin. Trustpilot shows only three reviews, and one of them is positive, so we cannot prove a large, systematic withdrawal-fraud pattern from user reports alone.
- We did not find a regulator warning notice naming this exact domain, and we could not confirm firsthand the reported Turkey CMB claim, so part of the 'false licence' finding rests on third-party review sites rather than our own capture.
- Crypto deposits and offshore structuring, on their own, are high-risk signals rather than proof of theft.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
Our view would move if solid facts appeared.
- Toward safer: a genuine, in-force licence from a real regulator, in the name of the entity that holds client funds, verifiable on that regulator's own register.
- Toward safer: a disclosed company registration and registered address that we could confirm in an official corporate registry.
- Toward worse: a regulator warning notice naming nyxbroker.com, or a cluster of detailed, dated withdrawal-refusal and advance-fee reports across several platforms, would push this to a confirmed scam.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is NYX Broker a scam?
NYX Broker shows the hallmarks of a scam and we rate it a likely scam. It holds client deposits with no financial licence, hides its company address, and has reports of money not being returned. We recommend not depositing.
Is NYX Broker regulated?
No. We found no licence for NYX Markets Ltd with any financial regulator. It is reported to have claimed Turkey's Capital Markets Board, but no such authorisation exists on that register.
Can I withdraw my money from NYX Broker?
There is real risk you cannot. Users report funds taken and not returned, and the site steers deposits into crypto while charging 6 to 8 percent on the one bank option, which discourages normal withdrawals.
Is my money safe with NYX Broker?
No. With no regulator supervising it, there is no client-fund protection and no compensation scheme. If the firm keeps your money, you have little legal recourse.
Who owns NYX Broker?
The site only names 'NYX Markets Ltd' and gives no country of incorporation, no directors and no registered address. This lack of transparency is itself a serious warning sign.
How old is NYX Broker?
The nyxbroker.com domain was first registered in July 2020, so the operation is about six years old. The site's claim of 'over nine years of experience' is not supported by any evidence we could find.
Does NYX Broker have a Turkey CMB licence?
No. Independent reviews report the broker claimed to be regulated by Turkey's Capital Markets Board (CMB/SPK), but no matching authorisation appears on the Turkish register. Only firms listed by the SPK may legally offer leveraged trading in Turkey.
Is NYX Broker a clone of another firm?
We found no evidence that it impersonates a specific regulated brand. It appears to be its own unregulated operation rather than a clone.
Why does NYX Broker push crypto deposits?
Its payment page favours Tether and Bitcoin, with the only bank option carrying a high fee and a 5,000 dollar minimum. Crypto payments are fast and hard to reverse, which suits operators who may not intend to let clients withdraw.
What should I do if I was scammed by NYX Broker?
Stop sending money, especially any 'fee' or 'tax' to unlock funds. Gather your records, ask your bank or card provider about a chargeback, and report it to your national financial regulator and, for crypto, to crypto-scam reporting services.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Confirm a real, in-force licence on the regulator's own register, in the name of the company that will hold your money. Check that the firm discloses its legal entity and registered address, and look for independent, detailed user reviews about withdrawals.
Does NYX Broker serve traders in Turkey or Iran?
The site says it does not serve residents of Turkey, the UAE or the USA, yet its operation appears Turkey-based and it publishes Persian and Arabic language versions. That contradiction is a common way unlicensed brokers try to sidestep local rules while still marketing to those users.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat NYX Broker as unsafe for deposits.
- Do not send money, and be especially wary of any request to pay a fee, tax or commission to release a withdrawal.
- If you already deposited, request a full withdrawal in writing, keep records, and contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback.
- Report the operation to your national financial regulator and, if you paid by crypto, to the relevant crypto-scam reporting channels.
- Before trusting any broker, confirm its licence directly on the regulator's own register, not on the broker's marketing pages.
