About CEX Markets Ltd
Company Overview
CEX Markets Ltd is a Cyprus-registered company whose official corporate entry is recorded in the Cyprus company registry. The registered name is CEX Markets Ltd, and the official domain on file is cyprusregistry.com, the state registry portal, rather than a dedicated brokerage or trading website. The company's founding date is not published in the records we hold, and no founding history is available through the same public sources.
In our records, CEX Markets Ltd is associated exclusively with its Cyprus registration and with its authorisation file. The absence of an operational internet domain is unusual for a regulated investment firm, but it does not by itself invalidate the corporate or regulatory entry. What it does mean is that a prospective client would have little direct public material to read before contacting the firm.
Regulatory Status
CEX Markets Ltd is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) as a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF). The status recorded on file is Authorised, and the licence number is 381/19. CySEC is the principal financial regulator in Cyprus and, for firms holding a CIF licence, the authorisation is a passportable EU status that can allow cross-border services within the European Economic Area.
A CIF licence is the regulatory classification commonly used by retail investment firms, including those that offer leveraged products such as contracts for difference (CFDs) and spot forex. However, our records do not specify exactly which investment services CEX Markets Ltd has been authorised to provide under its licence, nor which client types it may serve. Verification against the CySEC public register is therefore the first step for any potential client.
Licence Details
The licence on file is listed as follows: - CySEC | CIF licence | licence no 381/19 | status Authorised | Cyprus
The licence number 381/19 is the exact reference to use when checking the CySEC register. Because the public record identifies the firm through its Cyprus registration and this single authorisation, there is no second licence or additional regulator listed in our records.
No clone or impersonator websites have been identified for CEX Markets Ltd, which is a lower-risk sign compared with brokers that suffer from widespread fraudulent lookalikes. However, the absence of an identifiable corporate website makes it harder to determine which online address, if any, is genuinely connected to the regulated entity.
Products and Services
Our records contain no statement of the products, account types, platforms, instruments or pricing offered by CEX Markets Ltd. No official website or published brochure is available to confirm whether the firm offers retail forex, CFDs, spread betting or any other financial instrument. The company's own claims about its product range are not documented in the sources we hold.
As a Cyprus CIF, CEX Markets Ltd would be structurally capable of delivering broker-like investment services under its licence, but the practical details remain unverified. In the absence of a public website, any descriptions of trading conditions, leverage, commissions, minimum deposit or funding methods circulating online should be treated as unconfirmed. A regulated entity is under a disclosure obligation to clients, but those disclosures typically only appear once a relationship is initiated.
Transparency and Public Footprint
The most significant feature of CEX Markets Ltd's current public profile is the absence of a verifiable website or social-media presence. The official domain on file, cyprusregistry.com, is the platform of the Registrar of Companies in Cyprus; it serves a corporate disclosure function rather than a client-facing brokerage function. This means that, for an independent observer, the firm exists mainly as a regulatory and corporate record.
No clone or impersonator websites have been identified for CEX Markets Ltd. While that is a positive finding compared with high-profile brokers that are frequently copied by fraudulent sites, it is partly a consequence of the firm's low online footprint. The lack of a clear corporate website also makes it harder for a client to determine which online address is genuinely connected to the regulated entity.
Risk Considerations
FXCanary's Scam Risk Score for CEX Markets Ltd is 34 out of 100, which places the firm in the 'Guarded' category. The principal risk flag is the absence of any verifiable website or social-media presence. This reduces the amount of independent information a client can review before making a decision.
An authorised CySEC licence is a meaningful regulatory anchor, and the licence number 381/19 should be checked by a client directly against the CySEC register. But regulatory authorisation alone does not provide evidence of trading terms, execution quality, or the practical standard of client service. For a cautious trader, the absence of a public-facing operation is the central reason to proceed with care, regardless of the firm's regulatory status.
