In its latest enforcement action, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) imposed a monetary penalty of €90,000 on the regulated firm Titanedge Securities Ltd, which operates multiple contracts for differences (CFDs) brokerage brands, TradeEU.com and Titan Edge.
Another Settlement with a CFDs Brokerage Operator
The settlement, announced last Friday, was reached with the Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) license holder “for possible violations of Τhe Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law of 2017.” Specifically, it was related to the possible violations for the period between October 2022 and July 2023.
According to the regulatory register, Titanedge Securities received the CIF license from the Cypriot regulator in October 2021. It operates the two brokerage brands and offers retail CFDs trading services with derivatives instruments of multiple asset classes.
The Cypriot company already has agreed to the settlement and paid €90,000 to the regulator.
“It is noted that the amounts due to settlement agreements are calculated as revenue (income) to the Treasury of the Republic and do not constitute income of CySEC,” the regulator highlighted.
CySEC Strengthens Regulatory Oversight
CySEC, a preferred European regulator for retail CFDs brokers, has tightened its grip over the regulated companies under its purview. It has mostly imposed monetary penalties, along with other rectification orders, and in extreme cases of compliance violations, even suspended and withdrawn regulatory licenses.
In October, the Cypriot regulator revoked its previous decision to suspend the CIF authorization of VPR Safe Financial Group Ltd, which operates the FX/CFD retail trading brand Alvexo, as it met all compliance requirements.
The regulator also issued a stern warning to CIF's Board Members in the same month, asking them to enhance performance and promote a culture of integrity and high ethical standards.
Meanwhile, the regulator is fighting with fraudsters and impersonators. It is actively blacklisting illegal and fraudulent trading platforms and is issuing warnings against its own impersonators who are trying to scam retail traders and brokers. The New Zealand counterpart of CySEC further issued a general warning against CySEC impersonators, targeting traders in the country.
