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.
