BaFin warns about lilac-holdings(.)com
Germany's financial supervisory authority BaFin warned on 11 November 2026 about offers made on the website lilac-holdings(.)com. According to the regulator's findings, financial and securities services, as well as crypto-asset services, are offered there without permission.
BaFin published the warning as a consumer warning on its own website. The regulator said the case also points to suspected identity theft. The notice does not say whose identity is said to have been misused.
In Germany, firms need permission from BaFin to offer financial, securities or crypto-asset services. BaFin said the offers on lilac-holdings(.)com are being made without that permission. The notice is a supervisory warning, not a ruling by a court.
What the notice does not say
The warning does not identify the people or companies running the website, and it does not say where they are based. It also gives no figure for how many users are affected or how much money may have been placed with the provider.
BaFin publishes such consumer warnings when it believes a provider is offering services it is not allowed to offer. A provider that operates without the required permission is outside BaFin's supervision.
The notice sets out no further steps by the regulator, such as an investigation or court action. It is published on BaFin's website and dated 11 November 2026.
