Crypto Trading Bot Pro — It Wants Your API Keys

Verdict up front: Crypto Trading Bot Pro is published under the Android package name binance.crypto.signals, carries an icon built from the Binance diamond, and asks users to hand over their Binance API keys so it can trade for them. It is not published by Binance. Do not connect it to an exchange account.

The name in the identifier

Every Android app has a package name, set when it is built and permanent afterwards. This one is binance.crypto.signals.

Binance’s own applications do not use that namespace. What it does is put the word in the URL of the store listing, in the install record on the device, and in front of anyone checking quickly. Combined with an icon drawn from the Binance diamond, a reasonable person scrolling the store would take this for something official or affiliated.

The developer is a publisher called Tik Tik, whose other titles are a video tool for TikTok reels, a work-from-home jobs app, a chat app named “Only Funs”, a chess game, and a crypto trading simulator. That is a portfolio of unrelated consumer apps, not an exchange integration business.

  • The package identifier is binance.crypto.signals — a namespace claiming a company that did not publish the app.
  • The icon is a stylised version of the Binance diamond mark in the same blue.
  • The listing asks for “Direct Binance API Integration for auto-execution” — live trading permission on your own account.
  • It says “Contact us for automated trading setup” — moving users off the store and into private contact.
  • The developer, Tik Tik, also publishes a short-video tool, a jobs app, a chat app called “Only Funs”, a chess game and a “Crypto Trading Simulator”.
  • It carries ads and in-app purchases on 500+ downloads.

What an API key actually gives away

This is the part that matters more than anything else on the listing. An exchange API key with trading permission lets the holder place orders on your account, in your name, with your balance. It does not usually allow withdrawals — that is a separate permission — but trading permission alone is enough to empty an account through a technique called market-making against yourself: the key holder places orders that cross with their own, at prices they choose, on a thin pair. Your balance leaves as trading losses, and every transaction looks like something you authorised.

A key is not a password you can watch being used. Once it is pasted into someone else’s app, you are trusting them completely and silently.

“Contact us for setup”

The listing directs users to get in touch for automated trading configuration. Any step that moves the conversation off the store — into WhatsApp, Telegram or email — removes the only record and the only complaints route either party has. Legitimate integrations are self-service and documented, because handling keys by hand is precisely what a serious operator avoids.

What to do instead

If you already connected it: open your exchange account now, delete the API key, and create a new one. Check your trade history for orders you did not place. Then enable withdrawal whitelists.

Before installing any trading bot, tap the developer name and look at what else they publish. A chess game and a chat app in the same portfolio is the whole review.

If you have already paid

Cancel the subscription in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions — not inside the app, where cancelling often does nothing. Request a refund through Google Play while the charge is recent. Screenshot your balance, the withdrawal screen and every purchase before anything changes. If you handed over exchange API keys, delete them in your exchange account now and create new ones. Then report it at IC3.gov, or to Action Fraud in the UK.

Our view: Crypto Trading Bot Pro borrows the Binance name and mark and asks for live trading access to your exchange account. Do not install it, and delete any API key you gave it.
