Goldenmarkets demanded VIP and secondary tax payments before allowing a large crypto cashout

I am posting this public warning for anyone being shown staking rewards or managed crypto returns through Goldenmarkets.

A Trustpilot reviewer described being pulled in through an Instagram contact discussing staking rewards. The platform allegedly allowed an early withdrawal, which made the system feel real, then encouraged a much larger retirement-fund deposit. The dashboard balance inflated dramatically.

When the reviewer attempted to withdraw, Goldenmarkets reportedly demanded a mandatory 14% VIP upgrade, followed by an additional 18% secondary tax. Trustpilot shows Goldenmarkets with a bad rating and mostly one-star reviews. Real brokers do not make withdrawals depend on endless release fees.
