According to the South China Morning Post, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, in collaboration with the police, plans to block the websites of unlicensed trading platforms Octa and XM starting June 20. Once the block is in effect, users will not be able to log in through Singapore's internet service providers.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the police pointed out in a joint statement that the two platforms have provided and promoted trading services to local residents without obtaining permission and qualifications, such as leveraged forex trading, commodities, indices, and stocks, violating the Securities and Futures Act of 2001. Both platforms also engage in cryptocurrency trading, and most unregulated online trading platforms are based overseas, making their operational credibility difficult to verify and posing a high risk of fraud.
It is reported that Octa is operated by Octa Markets and Uni Fin Invest, while XM is operated by XM Global.
