26 Degrees Is Surrendering CySEC Licence
Our top story of the week: 26 Degrees is giving up its CySEC license. However, the company plans to maintain its Limassol office, which will now cater to the company’s global activities. The move is reportedly informed by the firm's decision to focus on institutional services, particularly hedge fund operations, amid growing regulatory challenges with the Cypriot authorities.
The decision may also be linked to the recent departure of Riana Chaili, the former CEO of the EMEA region. We reached out to 26 Degrees, but the company declined to comment. Besides this, Lochlan White recently stepped down from his role as EMEA Chief Commercial Officer to join Scope Prime. His departure occurred after dedicating 11 years in various roles.

CMC Markets Turned a £2M Loss into a £51M Profit
CMC Markets released its financial outlook report for the first half of the fiscal year 2025. In the report, the company highlighted significant growth and operational efficiency. It expects net operating income for the six months ending September 30, 2024, to reach approximately £180 million. This represents a substantial 45% increase from £123 million in the same period last year.
This growth is attributed to the company's ongoing diversification strategy and expansion in the B2B segment, coupled with sustained client trading activity. In a notable turnaround, CMC Markets projects a profit before tax of around £51 million for H1 2025, compared to a £2 million loss in the previous year's corresponding period.

LMAX UK Reports Higher Revenue but Net Loss in 2023
This week, UK-registered and licensed subsidiaries of LMAX Group released its financial reports for 2023. Although their combined revenue grew compared to the previous year, increased administrative costs prevented them from achieving a net profit.

Institutional Liquidity: The Common Pitfalls Retail Brokers Face
Institutional liquidity refers to markets where large institutions trade with one another. These markets consist of multiple available assets for trade with prices (and tiered volumes) on both sides. Companies involved in such operations are also known as market makers because they create active markets for traders.
Institutions typically have access to better conditions due to several critical factors, including economies of scale, access to advanced technology, direct market access, preferred counterparty status, regulatory flexibility, and exclusive market opportunities.

Consumer Duty at One: FCA Pushes Firms for Evidence of Progress
The Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) Consumer Duty officially came into action over a year ago, with an implementation deadline of 31st July 2023 for all new and existing products and services. The regulator favored a phased approach, with different obligations landing at different stages throughout the adaptation.
This concluded in July 2024, the deadline for closed products and services, and also for firms’ first annual reports on complying with the new regulations. The one-year anniversary is an appropriate milestone to assess the Duty’s impact so far, how well it has fulfilled its objectives, and how we’re likely to see it evolve.
FTX Bankruptcy Plan Approved, Promising 119% Return to Creditors
The US bankruptcy judge Jon Dorsey approved the reorganization plan for FTX, paving the way for the defunct cryptocurrency exchange to repay billions of dollars to its creditors.

FTX’s Ryan Salame's Crazy LinkedIn Update: “New Position as Inmate”
Social media updates about personal and professional lives have become common nowadays, but sometimes, some posts attract attention because they are unhinged. Ryan Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX, made such an absurd post on LinkedIn, updating on his “new position as Inmate at FCI Cumberland.”
Salame, once a high-ranking executive at the now-bankrupt FTX, was sentenced in May to seven and a half years in prison for fraud charges and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
Crypto.com Takes SEC to Court, Claims Regulatory Overreach
And in the crypto space, Crypto.com sued the US securities watchdog for allegedly overstepping its mandate. The crypto exchange claims the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) extended its jurisdiction beyond statutory limits by interpreting crypto assets as securities.
This lawsuit reportedly followed a Wells notice by the regulator against the company. In its statement, the exchange argued that the SEC had imposed an unlawful rule categorizing most crypto transactions as securities, while transactions involving Bitcoin and Ether escape this classification.
Anthony Scaramucci Criticizes Warren-Gensler “Hegemony” in US Crypto Regulation
Anthony Scaramucci, the Founder of SkyBridge Capital investment firm, voiced criticism of the current state of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. The former White House Director of Communications called for a more bipartisan approach and suggested that the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation could influence US policy.
In an exclusive comment to Finance Magnates, Scaramucci emphasized the importance of collaborative actions across divisions in terms of market regulation. “I think it's very important that we have a bipartisan commitment to crypto,” he stated, praising the efforts of Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer from New York.
AI–Claude, Quillbot, Question.AI, and Suno… ChatGPT Better Watch Out
If you thought the gold rush was a thing of the past, think again! OK, these days, we’re talking zeros and ones rather than Au, an AI gold rush, if you like. And the tech titans are the prospectors. The latest innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) are turning heads—and wallets. From deep learning to generative AI, the tech landscape is evolving faster than you can say “machine learning.”
First up is OpenAI's ChatGPT. What started as a conversation tool has now morphed into an essential piece of digital infrastructure for all sorts of work. The recent updates to ChatGPT, including enhanced contextual understanding and improved conversational capabilities, are making it a staple in businesses across myriad sectors.
When French Fries Fail: Is McDonald’s (and the US Economy) in Trouble?
Lastly, in what may seem like a small blip in the vast world of corporate America, Lamb Weston, the largest French fry supplier for McDonald’s, has just closed one of its factories. The company cited meal deals (and smaller fry portions), promotional deals, and inflationary pressures as the main culprits for falling fry sales.
Lamb Weston president and CEO Thomas Werner specifically highlighted the value deals created by a wide range of fast food chains as impacting french fry sales. The shutdown has sparked concerns about supply chain issues that might impact the fast-food giant’s ability to serve one of its most iconic menu items: McDonald’s french fries.
