Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC (ellingtonltd.com, primecapital.vc): FCA Warning

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued an official warning concerning Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC, identifying both ellingtonltd.com and primecapital.vc.

The warning was published on 26 June 2026.

According to the FCA, the firm is not authorised to provide or promote financial services in the United Kingdom and may be targeting UK consumers.

The regulator advises the public to avoid dealing with the firm and to beware of scams.

Already paid or invested through ellingtonltd.com or primecapital.vc? Preserve the payment trail and submit your transaction information for review and recovery options.

No upfront recovery fees. Fees are payable only after a successful recovery.

What the FCA Warning Confirms

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) identifies the operation as:

Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC

The regulator lists two websites:

1. ellingtonltd.com
2. primecapital.vc

It also records addresses presented in Zurich, Ottawa and London, together with a UK mobile number and email addresses associated with the operation.

The FCA makes clear that the firm is not authorised by it.

That distinction is important because financial firms generally need appropriate authorisation or registration before providing or promoting regulated financial services to UK consumers.

The regulator also warns that unauthorised firms may provide incorrect contact information or use details belonging to another business or individual in order to appear genuine.

AssetVault therefore does not treat an address, telephone number or company name shown on a website as proof of regulation.

The exact domain and the regulator’s official record matter more.

Two Websites Are Connected to the Same Warning

One of the strongest aspects of this warning is that the FCA identifies both ellingtonltd.com and primecapital.vcunder the same unauthorised-firm entry.

That means investors should not assume that moving from one of these websites to the other changes the regulatory position.

Both domains are connected by the regulator to Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC.

This is more useful than relying on a company name alone, particularly because names such as “Prime Capital” can be used by unrelated businesses in different jurisdictions.

AssetVault’s assessment concerns the exact operation and domains identified in the FCA warning.

If You Already Sent Money

If you have already transferred funds through ellingtonltd.com or primecapital.vc, preserve the records showing where the money actually went.

Keep:

1. Bank statements, wire-transfer records and beneficiary details.
2. Cryptocurrency wallet addresses and transaction hashes or TXIDs.
3. The blockchain network used for each cryptocurrency transfer.
4. Exchange deposit and withdrawal records.
5. Account and dashboard screenshots.
6. Emails, WhatsApp, Telegram or other communications.
7. Withdrawal requests and responses.
8. Any instructions requiring additional payment before funds can supposedly be released.

If another payment is being demanded, do not assume that paying again will solve the withdrawal problem.

Requests described as tax, verification, insurance, compliance, liquidity, AML or withdrawal charges should be independently verified before additional money is sent.

AssetVault is not stating that Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC has used every one of those descriptions. Any specific allegation must be supported by the affected investor’s own records.

The important issue is the payment trail.

A balance displayed on an online investment account does not prove that the same amount exists in an account controlled by the investor. Bank records, beneficiary information, wallet addresses and transaction hashes provide a stronger basis for determining where the real funds moved.

The FCA also states that consumers dealing with this unauthorised firm would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service for complaints and would not receive Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection if things go wrong.

AssetVault Assessment

The regulatory position concerning Ellington Trade / Prime Capital LLC is direct.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) identifies ellingtonltd.com and primecapital.vc as websites associated with an unauthorised firm.

The regulator states that the operation may be providing or promoting financial products or services without permission and may be targeting people in the United Kingdom.

Based on that official exact-domain warning, AssetVault considers ellingtonltd.com and primecapital.vc high-risk unauthorised financial-services websites.

Anyone who has already transferred money should stop additional payments, preserve the transaction and communication trail, and establish where the funds were actually sent.
