At Invesdaq, we believe trust is the foundation of any credible financial community. That’s why we only allow regulated providers to advertise on our platform. This approach ensures that all financial promotions come from firms authorised and supervised by official regulatory bodies, such as the FCA in the UK or the SEC in the US.

The decision is rooted in one harsh reality: financial scams are rampant on social media. In recent years, investment fraud originating from platforms like Facebook and Instagram has become the number one source of consumer losses. Thousands of victims report being duped by slick adverts promoting forex trading, crypto schemes, and high-yield “opportunities” that often turn out to be fake. A significant portion of this content is fronted by so-called “finfluencers,” many of whom have no qualifications and no accountability.

Worse still, research shows that up to 80% of trading advice on platforms like TikTok is misleading or outright dangerous. And yet, this is the kind of content that often gets the most reach. Without regulation, these promotions escape even the most basic checks—no risk warnings, no performance disclosure, no transparency.

By contrast, regulated firms must follow strict rules around financial advertising. These include mandatory risk disclosures, limits on performance claims, and clear separation between editorial and promotional content. This legal and ethical framework helps protect users and ensures that advertisements are grounded in fact, not fantasy.

For us, this isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building a safer space for people to learn, connect, and grow as investors. By filtering out unregulated promotions, we’re raising the bar for financial advertising and creating a more transparent and responsible environment where users can focus on what really matters: making better decisions with their money.
