What the regulator published
Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CY) listed xyvotrades.com as a firm that is not authorised to offer financial services. IOSCO's investor alerts portal listed the warning on 19 October 2026. Website given by the regulator: xyvotrades.com.
A regulator puts a firm on its warning list when it offers financial services without the authorisation it needs there. Customers of a firm like this usually cannot use the protections that come with authorised firms, such as the ombudsman or a compensation scheme.
