Which of FXOpen's jurisdictions and licences fall within this site's regulatory coverage?

FXOpen is registered at 38 Spyrou Kyprianou Street, CCS BLDG - Office N101, 4154 Limassol, Cyprus and tracked under our banks and deposit-taking institutions scope based on its institutional service profile (Cryptocurrencies, Indices, Forex, Stocks, Commodities) rather than a domestic focus licence. Its 3 recorded licences (FCA, CYSEC, ASIC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.
