The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, (Greek: Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς) better known as CySEC, is the financial regulatory agency of Cyprus. As an EU member state, CySEC's financial regulations and operations comply with the European MiFID financial harmonization law.
A significant number of overseas retail forex brokers have obtained registration from CySEC.[1] Before 2018, CySEC had been a regulator of choice for many binary options brokers.[2][3][4]
