In the latest BlockchainFX news, the crypto project announced that it has obtained an International Brokerage and Clearing House license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA), marking its first regulatory approval.
The announcement was published on the project’s Telegram channel and verified X (formerly Twitter) account on November 10, 2025, stating that BlockchainFX is now “licensed and regulated” under the name BlockFX International Ltd. According to the verification page hosted on AnjouanCorporateServices.com, the company holds license number L16172/BFX, incorporated on October 10, 2025, and valid until October 10, 2026. The record confirms its “active” status under the AOFA registry.
The Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority license is a one-year authorization issued by the regulatory body of the island of Anjouan, part of the Union of the Comoros. It is typically granted to entities engaged in offshore financial services, foreign exchange trading, or digital asset operations.
Specifically, the International Brokerage and Clearing House license authorizes its holder to conduct brokerage, trading, and clearing operations for financial instruments and digital assets on behalf of clients. It enables a company to facilitate trades, hold client accounts, and process settlements across multiple asset classes under Anjouan’s offshore regulatory framework. BlockchainFX referred to this license as a “major milestone” in its post, highlighting that it positions the platform as a regulated participant in the international trading sector.
AOFA serves as the financial regulatory body for the island of Anjouan, within the Union of the Comoros. It oversees licensing for offshore entities involved in activities such as forex trading, brokerage services, and cryptocurrency-related operations. Companies seeking approval must typically complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) and corporate verification process, which includes providing documentation on the entity’s legal structure, ownership, and directors.
This process means that the authority holds identifying information about the company’s operators and developers, even if those details are not made public. The AOFA authorization confirms that an entity is registered and approved to operate under Anjouan’s offshore laws, providing a basic level of regulatory oversight for businesses involved in digital asset handling or cross-border trading activities.
However, despite being formally recognized within Anjouan, this type of offshore approval is not considered a high-tier financial license. It cannot be used to operate or solicit clients in regions such as the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, where local financial authorities, including the SEC, ESMA, or FCA, require separate registration. Instead, it provides a legal base for offshore operations, without extending to consumer protection or financial guarantees. Many financial entities use such offshore approvals to establish a compliant presence while planning future licensing in larger jurisdictions.
The BlockchainFX presale, launched in March 2025, has raised over $10 million to date. The project presents itself as a multi-asset trading platform combining cryptocurrency, stocks, forex, and commodities under one interface. Its ecosystem revolves around the BFX token, which supports staking rewards, daily USDT payouts, token buybacks, and a branded Visa card. The platform promotes itself as a “crypto trading super app” that enables users to trade over 500 assets using AI-driven tools, cross-asset swaps, and leveraged trading options.
BlockchainFX claims to merge DeFi functionality with traditional finance, presenting the BFX token as both a utility and reward asset. However, despite its polished presentation, the project still lacks verifiable technical documentation. Its 12-page whitepaper outlines the concept but omits key details about blockchain architecture, fund allocation, and auditing standards, functioning more as a marketing document than a technical plan.
The team remains anonymous, with only a “Lisa Evans” listed as Chief Marketing Officer, whose identity cannot be verified. Before obtaining its AOFA authorization, the project had no disclosed jurisdiction, though it previously mentioned Costa Rica as its base of operations in the project's public materials.
