1. XIAN COIN (“XNC”)
The Securities and Exchange Commission has received information that CHRISTIAN ALBERT GAZA(“Xian Gaza”), individuals and/or group of persons representing XIAN COIN (“XNC”) are enticing the public to invest in its digital currency claiming that the holders of XNC will enjoy a high range of price stability and appreciation of value due to the fact that it is taking advantage of a single, centralized supply chain. It further claims that it is independently controlled by the virtual cryptocurrency bank of Xian Gaza with a limited global supply of 75 million XNC.
Based on its website https://xianco.in/Xian Coin or XNC is a centralized digital currency powered by the Etherium Blockchain that is exclusively traded by its coin holders. It is owned and issued by a virtual cryptocurrency bank where you can exchange your coins to Xian Coin, Colombian Peso, Mexican Peso, Brazilian Real, Peruvian Sol, and Philippine Peso. It also states that the primary function of Xian Coin is to create a powerful, unregulated, and untraceable financial payment system that will power transactions and businesses across geographical spheres.
The records of the Commission show that XIAN COIN is not registered with the Commission either as a corporation or as a partnership. Further, it is NOT authorized to solicit investments from the public since it has not secured prior registration and/or license from the Commission as prescribed under Section 8 and 28 of the Securities Regulation Code.
In the same manner, those who invite or recruit other people to join or invest in this venture or offer investment contracts or securities to the public may be held criminally liable under Section 28 of the SRC penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million Pesos (P 5,000,000.00) or imprisonment of Twenty One (21) years or both pursuant to Section 73 of the SRC (SEC Vs. Oudine Santos, G.R. No. 195542, 19 March 2014). Thus, the public is hereby warned that the scheme employed by XIAN COINS clearly shows an indication of a possible Ponzi Scheme, where monies from new investors are used in paying “fake profits” to prior investors and is designed mainly to favor its top recruiters and prior risk takers and is detrimental to a subsequent member in case of scarcity of new investors.

IQ OPTION even allows the use of trading robots particularly its IQ BOT in its platform to make trading therein supposedly automated and more effective.
Aside from the above red flags, IQ OPTION is apparently being promoted by members of LEARN AND EARN ONLINE as well which was the subject of our SEC ADVISORY dated 15 April 2021 for promoting dubious online trading platforms and openly soliciting investments herein the Philippines without the necessary registration and/or authorization from the Commission.
