Licence, read literally
| Regulator | Licence number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FCA | 629586 | UK | tier-1 | open source ↗ |
| SFC Hong Kong | BOL486 | Hong Kong | tier-1 | open source ↗ |
| CFTC/NFA (CTA registration) | not verified | USA | tier-1 | open source ↗ |
| CIMA (Cayman, registered person) | not verified | Cayman Islands | tier-2 | open source ↗ |
Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

Perimeter and coverage
| Asset classes | Venues | Connectivity | Clients accepted | Explicitly refused |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX spot | Institutional clients, Trading venues, Banks and brokers (prime services) |
A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
