Best thing is to take your btc out as soon as you can. They will confirm timelines later today. Then wait what will happen. I hope they come back as i really liked their website.

[figmentofmyass]

they are now processing withdrawals!

Withdrawals are now being processed. Due to the high amount of withdrawal requests, please expect significant delays.

i hope so too---as long as they are just blocking IP addresses from america rather than doing KYC. if they start doing KYC, i'm done with them. fingers crossed that they can reach some settlement with the feds and resume operations.

If you are looking for an established alternative to trade the Stock/Forex/Commodity Markets. I have been using and suggesting them for years now.
Unlike 1broker they have a live support and Metatrader 4 support which have been asked for 1broker for ever.

https://simplefx.com

Easy decision once you tried them if you ask me....
If you have any concerns you can always contact their Live-Support. They really responsive and helpful.

I suspect that 1Broker will not be active anymore or are there other plans after the domain has been seized? If not, which alternatives to 1Broker are currently available on the market? I do know Plus500 but it is not really Bitcoin-only based.

what are you trading?
you want anonymity?

they allowed customers from the USA, no KYC for crypto accounts, and offered the same instruments as 1broker. for several years. you think it's a good time to keep funds on there?

simplefx UI is awful btw.

If I may suggest the exchange that I founded with my partners in 2014 under the First Global Credit domain. We have just rebranded as Panxora.io We deliver a selection of 500 stocks you can trade, ETFs, you can deposit and trade with a dozen currencies like BTC, BCH, ETH, ETC and LTC. We are adding a range of exciting tokens and for any trader that can prove (with a statement) that they were a 1broker client I will provide them with a month of commission rebates on trading so they can get a feel for our service. (you'll have to set up the account and then email me so I can arrange the credit) marcie.terman@panxora.io.
We are not able to serve US based customers. We do not act as a bucket shop as there is a prime broker executing trades.

Most 1broker people are moving to WCX as far as I know. Basically a 1broker clone, except it needs KYC and no Americans allowed.

https://wcex.com

I've personally tried both WCX and the other alternative people talk about, Simplefx. Unfortunately the fees/spreads on simplefx can get outrageous, in particular the overnight premiums which they do a wonderful job at hiding. I'm also not particularly fond of the simplefx UI.

WCX pros vs 1broker: lower spreads, more markets, better charts (they use tradingview), demo trading, good on mobile.
WCX cons vs 1broker: no USA people, no copy trading.

Seems WCEX is #JustAnotherRipOFF

WCX complying with ESMA regulations is not a ripoff. It's actually a good thing. Better to comply with regulations than end up like 1broker.

I miss 1Broker. WCEX is nice, but 30x leverage for EU traders is very bad

WCX has a solid reputation. Search for 'WCX reviews' or 'wcx' on Google. They also have a Telegram group which remains pretty active.

Personally I've been using them for about 2 months without any issues. I'm not in the EU so I don't know what impositions the EU regulations have but it seems to be respecting the Mifid laws like most eu brokers.

I don't understand why the world exchanges have to stop trading at weekends considering it's all computer powered.

They do not. Its just that the traffic is extremely low on weekends, and people are not able to get their deposits in.
Most of the exchanges do continue trading during weekends

FX markets open over the weekend?

Since when?

Not for retail traders.... but !
#1 Central banks and related institutions can keep pushing around billions, even on weekends.
#2 Some brokers allow you to trade even during the weekend, but spreads will be much bigger during weekends when liquidity is super thin or almost non-existent.

[capoeira]

retail traders volume is so low it would be dangerous to leave brokers working when banks (and thus the liquidity providers) are closed. you would have to deal with a lot of margin calls because of huge spreads and slippage.

I think 1broker is back. https://extrading.io is a new social trade with the same features, also 5% better opportunity for trade owner. what do you think for extrading.io?

[someone111]

Cudos to 1broker for letting me withdraw! I would trust them again.
