The one question behind every 'AI trading bot' pitch: who holds the money.
A bot is software, and software is not a company. Before you consider any 'AI trading bot' offer you see in a Facebook group, Telegram channel or short video, put the pitch's money trail next to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas list of virtual asset service providers. The party that receives your deposit is the party that matters, and a listing is a regulator's act, not a promise about any strategy's results.
The pitch hides which company actually takes your money, so ask for the exact legal name and find it on the central bank's list.
A name on the list means the company has permission to exchange or transfer virtual assets, not that any bot or return is approved.
Before sending anything, put plain questions to the promoter and keep the answers in writing.
Companies the central bank lists as active crypto service providers
Each row is a company as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas lists it, with the brand name the list gives for it, if any. Banks and inactive entries are left out of this slice. The list gives one date for the whole file and none per company; it is on the source page.

What to learn before you act
Who holds the money in a bot pitch
The live table shows active non-bank virtual asset service providers from the central bank's list, and the text explains how to read each column.
A bot is not a company
Software or a promoter's label cannot be a listed provider, so the question becomes which legal entity actually receives the deposit.
What a listing does and does not cover
A listing is a permission to run a service, not an approval of a strategy, a bot, a promoter or a return.
Questions to put to a promoter
The exact legal name, the account name, the withdrawal route, and where the company appears in the central bank's list.
When money has moved
Keep receipts and chats, tell the bank or e-wallet provider, and know which regulator or law enforcement unit to approach.
An account where you run the strategy, not someone else
FxPro offers contracts for difference on currencies, metals, indices, shares and crypto. A CFD is an agreement on a price, so no asset is delivered and nothing is registered in your name. CFDs are leveraged and carry a high risk of losing the money deposited. This site is not the broker and takes no money from you.
