GIC

GIC, operating under the corporate name Global Investa Capital Pte Ltd, is a forex and CFD brokerage registered in Singapore since April 6, 2021. The company's registered address is 89 Tagore Lane, Singapore 787531. The broker also has a representative office in Indonesia under the entity PT Global Investa Cakrawala. GIC brands itself as a peer-to-peer forex trading platform that leverages blockchain technology to connect traders and market makers directly.

The broker’s official website (gicindonesia.com) targets Indonesian-speaking users, but also maintains an English version at globalinvestacapital.com. GIC actively maintains a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, though independent user reviews are scarce.

GIC is not regulated by any major financial authority. According to our records, it holds no licenses from recognized regulators such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), or the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). The broker itself claims a Comoros license from the Mwali International Services Authority (license number T2023421) and registration of its GICT token with Indonesia's BAPPEBTI, but these claims have not been independently verified by FXCanary.

Given the absence of oversight from a top-tier regulator, the broker carries significant risk. Our Scam Risk Score for GIC is 75 out of 100, indicating a severe risk level. Traders should exercise extreme caution.

GIC offers trading in foreign currency pairs, gold, indices, and commodities. The broker provides maximum leverage of 1:400, which is high and amplifies both potential profits and losses. The platform is described as blockchain-based, utilizing a peer-to-peer model where users can choose to act as traders or market makers.

The broker does not disclose typical spreads or commissions on its homepage. Specific account types are not detailed, but the platform features a Social Trade functionality where users can follow profitable traders. Minimum deposit requirements and supported payment methods are not clearly listed on the website.

GIC targets traders interested in a hybrid forex-crypto ecosystem, particularly those who want to participate in a peer-to-peer trading model and are comfortable with blockchain technology. The broker also appeals to users seeking social trading features, where novice traders can copy the strategies of more experienced market participants.

However, due to its unregulated status and high risk score, GIC is not suitable for risk-averse traders or those requiring investor protection. The broker may appeal to high-risk-tolerant individuals who understand the potential for fraud or operational failure.

GIC provides a proprietary peer-to-peer trading platform that integrates blockchain technology. The broker claims this ensures transparency and security for all transactions. The platform allows users to switch between roles: as a trader executing orders or as a market maker providing liquidity.

Additionally, GIC offers a Social Trade feature, enabling Masters (signal providers) to share their trades with Followers, who can replicate them automatically. The broker also mentions access to an NFT marketplace, though details are sparse. No information is available regarding mobile apps or web-based trading interfaces beyond the registration page.

GIC’s customer support contact is primarily via email (support@gictrade.io) as stated in its privacy policy. The company is registered in Singapore as Global Investa Capital Pte Ltd (registration number 201806666Z). Its Indonesian office is located at Gedung Sahid Sudirman Centre, Jakarta.

The broker’s terms and conditions are governed by Singapore law. Despite being registered in Singapore, GIC is not licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which leaves clients without recourse to the Financial Industry Disputes Resolution Centre (FIDReC) in case of disputes.
