In a noteworthy development within the financial brokerage industry, the notorious offshore broker Alpari and former CySEC-regulated ForexTime (FXTM), not less notorious, have officially withdrawn their membership from the Financial Commission. This decision underscores a broader trend among forex brokers reassessing their market focus and priorities.
The broker schemes Alpari and ForexTime (FXTM), founded by Russian entrepreneur Andrey Dashin, have been subject to recent developments, casting doubt on their regulatory standing. FinTelegram has placed these brokers on its Red Compliance List. In the meantime, ForexTime and FXTM have ceased operations and voluntarily surrendered their CySEC license. The Alpari situation seems to be unclear.
The broker schemes Alpari and FXMT, a/k/a ForexTime, were founded by the Russian Andrey Dashin. On his website, Dashin claims that Alparin has more than 2 million clients and a more than a trillion turnover. Alpari has received and lost licenses in Russia, Cyprus, and the UK since its inception. FXTM currently has a CIF license from CySEC in Cyprus and via Exinity UK Ltd from the UK FCA. Both schemes are operated by Dashin's Exinity Group. We have placed both on our Red Compliance list.
Alpari is a Russian broker founded in 1998 by Russian-born Andrey Dashin, who also owns the CySEC and FCA regulated broker ForexTime a/k/a FXTM. Both ForexTime and Alpari are operated through offshore brokers with a network of various legal entities. Apparently, Exinity Group has an office in Lagos, Nigeria, where the group is looking for an Account Assistant. It perfectly shows that Alpari and CySEC-regulated FXTM are indeed under unified management. The FCA and CNMV issued warnings against Alpari.
