CFTC adds 71 names to list of illegal foreign trading entities

Related Topics

The US CFTC has added 71 names to its Registration Deficient (RED) List, which contains the names of unregistered foreign entities that the CFTC has reason to believe are soliciting and accepting funds from US residents at a retail level for trading in binary options or foreign currency.

These 71 new additions bring the total number of foreign entities on the RED List to over 110. 
 
Registration is no guarantee against fraud or mismanagement by an otherwise unscrupulous firm; however, registration does bring a higher level of security and accountability to the public. 
 
For example, registration enables the CFTC to examine whether firms meet minimum financial standards as well as disclosure, reporting, and record-keeping requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act.
 
The RED List works in conjunction with the CFTC’s SmartCheck campaign to help investors identify and protect themselves against illegal conduct. The RED List also complements registration information available to the public on the National Futures Association website. 
 
The CFTC publicises the existence of the RED List to other government regulators, the media, consumer groups, industry participants, self-regulatory organisations, exchanges, and industry associations. 
 
The 71 foreign entities added to the RED List are:
