Scope Prime (Scope Markets institutional / Rostro Group) — institutional liquidity provider
This record highlights notable uncertainties regarding licensing and company founding details.
Licence, read literally
| Regulator | Licence number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CySEC | 339/17 | Cyprus | tier-2 | open source ↗ |
| FSA Seychelles | not verified | Seychelles | tier-3 | open source ↗ |
| FSCA | not verified | South Africa | tier-2 | open source ↗ |
| FSC Mauritius | not verified | Mauritius | 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.

The claims ledger
Claims specific enough to be falsified — and the ones that remain the venue's own measurement.
Testable claims
- SCOPE PRIME is the brand name used by SM Capital Markets Ltd (Cyprus, registered number HE 346068), authorised and regulated by CySEC (Licence Number 339/17) as a Cypriot Investment Firm (https://www.scopeprime.eu/legal-documentation)
- CySEC register confirms SM Capital Markets Ltd, licence number 339/17, licence date 02/11/2017 (https://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/investment-firms/cypriot/45918)
- Scope Prime (scopeprime.com/about-us) lists group entities: RS Global Ltd (FSC Belize), Scope Markets SA (PTY) Ltd (FSCA South Africa), MMCD Resources Ltd (FSA Seychelles) and RGL Capital Ltd (FSC Mauritius)

Claims we cannot verify from outside
- 'Powerhouse of liquidity, trading and fintech expertise' and liquidity-depth marketing are the firm's own characterisations
Perimeter and coverage
| Asset classes | Venues | Connectivity | Clients accepted | Explicitly refused |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX, CFDs, Multi-asset liquidity | Institutional investors and businesses (own positioning), EU/EEA clients via SM Capital Markets Ltd (CySEC-regulated entity) |
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.
