The bottom lineThe FCA has added CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 to its warning pages and says the firm may be providing or promoting financial services without permission. For retail readers, the immediate point is simple: do not assume a crypto or trading business is legitimate just because it has a website, email address or an online presence.
FCA flags the firm as unauthorised
The Financial Conduct Authority says CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 may be providing or promoting financial services or products without permission. The warning page says consumers should avoid dealing with the firm and beware of scams.
The FCA lists the firm name as CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 and gives the website cryptonova84.app. The page was first published and last updated on 30 July 2026.
Why the warning matters for consumers
The FCA says that almost all firms and individuals must be authorised or registered to carry out or promote financial services in the UK. In this case, the regulator says the firm is not authorised and may be targeting people in the UK.
The warning page also says consumers would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if they complained, and would not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if things went wrong. That means any loss could be hard to recover if the firm fails or turns out to be fraudulent.
What readers can verify now
Readers can check whether a firm is authorised by using the FCA Firm Checker and can compare contact details carefully if they were approached unexpectedly. The FCA also says people who think they have been approached by an unauthorised firm can call 0800 111 6768 or use its contact form.
For investors, the practical implication is that any unsolicited crypto or trading pitch should be treated cautiously until the firm’s status is independently verified on the FCA register or warning pages.
