The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission has cracked down on unlicensed crypto and FX platforms, blacklisting 19 firms for operating without authorization. Offenders include iqforextrade.net, metaindextrade.net, and viptradersclub.com.

🔍 Many deceived users by falsely claiming ties to licensed firms or misusing regulated CIF licenses.

🚫 New regulation mandates mandatory registration for all crypto service providers, with penalties up to $370K or 5 years in prison for non-compliance.

⚠️ The agency also warns against “finfluencers” and the gamification of trading, urging investors to perform proper due diligence.
