The prevalence of online investments within the community does not rule out the possibility that some of them are illegal or unauthorized investments, leading to losses for citizen. Legal protection  can be provided to investors namely domains of illegal futures brokerage companies, cessation of illegal futures trading promotion, monitoring and observation of illegal futures trading sites by the regulatory authority. However, there are no explicit rules regarding penalties for influencers promoting binary option trading due to the lack of clear regulations about binary options. The research questions addressed in this study are: What is legal protection to investors in illegal investments  YouTube? What is the function of  BAPPEBT) to prevent illegal investments due to online influencer promotions YouTube? This research uses the normative juridical. The Conclusion of the research are BAPPEBTI offers preventive protection to the public by continually monitoring and educating about investment procedures in line with regulations.
