Abstract:The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) announced that it has finally withdrawn the Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) License with number 145/11 of Dualix operator Maxigrid Limited, effective from 24 February 2022.
Withdrawal of Maxigrids CIF License
The Cypriot watchdog reached the decision due to Maxigrid‘s violations of the investment laws. The market regulator provided specific details for the regulatory action, concluding that the forex retail brokerage firm has failed to comply with “The Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law”, the CySEC’s law. Maxigrid violated its licensing conditions and no longer met the conditions under which its authorisation was granted.
Suspension of Maxigrids CIF License
This is not a surprise, as Maxigrid, which operates the retail FX brand Dualix, has already been suspended its license back in October 2021 as suspicions of violations of the CySEC‘s law. The watchdog concluded that the violations cause concerns and risk relating to the protection of the Company’s clients and/or constitute a threat to the orderly operation and integrity of the market.
After thorough investigations, CySEC has completely withdrawn the companys CIF license. As a result, Maxigrid is not permitted to:
· provide or carry out investment services or activities;
· enter into any business transaction with any person and accept any new client.
· advertise itself as a provider of investment services.
When accessing the domains officially approved by CySEC, www.dualix.com and www.maxigrid.com, there were apparently no trading permitted in Cyprus on both websites.

A 37-year-old project manager lost over RM138,000 to an investment scam after being lured by promises of 20% returns.

Authorities urge the public to verify investment opportunities with trusted organizations to avoid similar schemes.
On 21 January, 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the UK's primary financial regulator, expanded its warning list to include 10 additional unregulated forex brokers. The FCA warning lists, updated on a daily basis, remain an important tool intended not only to protect consumers but also to alert the financial services industry. When an FCA warning emerges, it signals red flags like unsolicited investment pitches, promises of unrealistic returns, or pressure tactics. The addition of these 10 new entities comes amid growing concerns over the rise of unauthorized forex trading platforms, particularly those operating through overly complex online interfaces yet riddled with bugs and aggressive social media marketing campaigns. Let's catch a glimpse of those on the list.
