East Asia Futures is a forex & CFD broker based in Hong Kong, established in 1989. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 6.5 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the 5.3/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
Crucially, East Asia Futures is regulated by SFC and BY, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
East Asia Futures provides access to Futures, options. Its detailed trading conditions — minimum deposit, spreads and maximum leverage — are not publicly disclosed, which lowers transparency. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, East Asia Futures has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.

How is the East Asia Futures trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
