Consob Blocks Five New Trading Platforms
Italy's financial markets regulator, Consob, has added five new names to its long list of backlisted trading platforms illegally operating within its jurisdictions. These platforms either do not have a license to carry out services in Italy or are outright scams.
The names of the blacklisted platforms are CapitalFXM, AW FX Bank, INDEX ACCOUNTING, and Finex Finance Global. Most of these websites offer risky CFDs trading, while one offers real-estate investment plans with a weekly interest of as much as 30 percent.
With the latest addition, Consob is now blocking access to 903 illegal websites offering trading or investment services.
Malaysian Regulator Flags 25 Unauthorised Firms
The Securities Commission of Malaysia has updated its Investors Alert List with the addition of 25 new names to it. Some added names include FX/CFDs brands like Winsdor Brokers, AETOS, Lion Brokers, CWG Markets, DCFX, and more.
According to the regulator, most platforms are "carrying on unlicensed capital market activities of dealing in securities."
Another financial market regulator to add new names to its warning list is Spain's National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). The watchdog flagged eight 'unregistered institutions'.
The flagged entities are ACI-VPFX, BINETRIX, BITMART, BWGAMONLINE.COM / BWINTERNET, FINANCE TRADERS LTD, GADVM LIMITED, SUPREME MARKETS, and BELANA GROUP LLC. Some of these platforms are not available anymore, however, a few still offer trading services with risky instruments.
"According to CNMV records, these institutions are not registered in the corresponding registry of this Commission and, therefore, are not authorized to provide investment services or other activities subject to the CNMV's supervision," the regulator added.
CAPEX.com Promotes George Pavel
CAPEX.com has filled the role of General Manager of its Abu Dhabi office with the internal promotion of George Pavel. He was previously the Head of Partnerships and spent the last six years with the FX/CFDs broker.

Typosquatting Goes Industrial: Why One Broker Registered Over 600 Domains
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.
Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
