Ava FX just announced that it was authorized by ASIC to start operating in Australia. Ava Capital Markets Australia will offer Ava's trading services to local and Asian traders. Australia has quickly become a major center for Forex brokers trying to tap the Asian markets. As operating in China is forbidden (more or less) and Hong Kong license is both limiting and expensive, Australia stands out as the only stable location for forex brokers looking both for sane Regulation and ability to support Asian clients in their time zones. Australia also offers a highly advanced capital markets climate and multilingual staff which helps run operations smoothly.
Forex regulation in Australia is about to change as due to the high number of registering brokers and participating traders ASIC is starting to notice this marginal capital markets niche. As described in detail in the latest Q4 2011 Forex Magnates Industry Report ASIC will soon introduce higher minimal capital requirements and limitation on funding sources, among other things.
Most brokers welcome this additional regulation as its obvious that ASIC is trying to protect the industry rather than shut it down like NFA some other regulators.
