DCPTG (aka Digital Currency Pioneer Technology Group), fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
DCPTG operates from two known website domains:
- dcptg.com – registered in April 2023, private registration last updated on March 26th, 2024
- dcptg.xyz – registered on November 29th, 2022, private registration last updated on December 22nd, 2023
Some DCPTG marketing points to the domain “dcptg.vip”. At time of publication however this domain is disabled.
As of March 2024, SimilarWeb tracks top sources of traffic to DCPTG’s website as Germany (31%), Hungary (16%), Austria (11%), Russia (10%) and Switzerland (6%).
The majority of DCPTG’s website traffic originates from German-speaking countries. This is reflected in DCPTG securities fraud warnings already issued by Germany (March 5th) and Austria (April 6th).
The Central Bank of Russia also issued a DCPTG pyramid fraud warning on Januiary 4th, 2024.
Due to it falsely representing it is based out of the US, DCPTG has also attracted the attention of US regulators.
In December 2023 the Washington Department of Financial Institutions issued a DCPTG securities fraud warning:
DFI has reason to believe that ITP is connected with Coscoin, DCPTG, and Alevius, all of which are purported investment trading platforms registered with the Washington State Secretary of State.
It does not appear that Coscoin, DCPTG, and Alevius’s businesses are actually located at any of the locations they list on the Washington State Secretary of State’s filings, nor that they are engaged in lawful business activities.
ITP Corp, CosCoin and Alevius are collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis run by Chinese scammers.
If we inspect look at the support page of DCPTG’s website, we find it runs on Meiqia software:
Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running DCPTG has ties to China.
In what appears to be an attempt to hide this, DCPTG’s marketing videos feature a combination of stock footage, staged events featuring actors and AI robo avatars.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

DCPTG Conclusion
DCPTG is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
DCPTG’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is quantitative trading:
The presented ruse is DCPTG affiliates log in and click a button (the more invested the more the button needs to be clicked):
Clicking the button purportedly generates revenue via quantitative trading, which for some reason DCPTG shares a percentage with its affiliate investors.
If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. Randoms clicking a button in an app doesn’t trigger quantitative trading.
In reality clicking a button inside DCPTG does nothing. All DCPTG is doing is recycling newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
DCPTG is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that have emerged since late 2021.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same quantitative trading ruse include DQF, OBC AI and CDC.
Including DCPTG, BehindMLM has thus far documented over a hundred “click a button” app Ponzis. Most of them last a few weeks to a few months before collapsing.
“Click a button” app Ponzis disappear by disabling both their websites and app. This tends to happen without notice, leaving the majority of investors with a loss (inevitable Ponzi math).
The same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
