UK Regulator Raises Alarm
on Clone of LCG
On Wednesday, the Financial Conduct Authority
(FCA) warned investors against a clone of London Capital
Group (LCG), an authorized spread betting and CFD trading provider. The British
watchdog said the clone has been contacting British citizens, pretending
to have requisite permission.
According to the FCA, the scam
platform operates the websites: www.cintra.group/, www.londoncapitalgroup.pro and www.cint.pro/. However, the website of the authorized firm is www.lcg.com.
“Scammers may give out other
false details, including email addresses, telephone numbers, postal addresses
and Firm Reference Numbers,” the British watchdog noted, explaining how such
illegal trading platforms operate. “They may mix these details with the genuine
details of authorised firms. They may also change their contact details over
time,” it added.

Spectrum Markets, a
Germany-based securitized derivatives trading provider, has added UniCredit

adding that he expects the bank’s “credibility and expertise” will make for
great partnership when combined with his company's "innovation mindset.”
“The pan-European bank will
initially list a series of constant leverage warrants and covered warrant
products, making these available to retail investors across Europe via their
broker or bank,” Spectrum Markets explained in a statement.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
