PM MTF Ltd Review
PM MTF Ltd in a nutshell
PM MTF Ltd is a newly licensed CySEC-regulated MTF operating under the Perpetuals.com group, offering a unique venue for crypto derivatives and tokenized assets. While its regulatory status is legitimate, the lack of independent reviews and a verifiable web presence for the entity itself warrants caution. The recent licence and innovative but complex product range suggest traders should proceed with thorough due diligence.
FXCanary rates PM MTF Ltd at 34/100 scam risk (Moderate risk), based on regulation & licensing, fund-safety signals, company transparency, complaint history and real user feedback.

FXCanary's Approach to This Review
When we at FXCanary set out to profile PM MTF Ltd, we knew we were dealing with a broker that had no independent user reviews on file — a situation that demands extra caution and a heavier reliance on primary sources. Our first step was to cross-check the entity against the official Cyprus registry and the CySEC public register, using the licence number provided in our records (458/25) as the anchor. We then examined the official domain, mtf.perpetuals.com, along with the parent company's corporate site, perpetuals.com, to see how the trading venue presents itself and what documentation it publishes.
We also ran a series of web searches to see what independent information exists about PM MTF Ltd. As is often the case with obscure brokers, the search results returned a mix of material — some clearly about the same entity, some about the broader Perpetuals.com group, and some that could easily be mistaken for a different company. Our editorial rule is strict: if the web results do not unambiguously describe the broker named in our records, we set web confidence to 'low' and rely only on the known facts. In this case, the results that referenced the CySEC licence number 458/25 and the legal name PM MTF Ltd were consistent with our records, so we treated those as corroborating. Everything else — particularly marketing claims about being 'the first European MTF' or 'AI-powered' — we treated as the company's own claims, not independent verification.
What follows is our independent assessment of PM MTF Ltd, built on the regulatory record, the official website, and the public documents we could verify. Where the evidence is thin, we say so plainly. For a broker with no user reviews, that absence of track record is itself a material fact for any trader considering opening an account.
Company Background and Registration
PM MTF Ltd is a Cyprus-registered company, and our records show its official domain as mtf.perpetuals.com. The name itself is telling: 'MTF' stands for Multilateral Trading Facility, a specific type of regulated trading venue under European law. The company appears to be the operator of a trading platform branded 'Perpetuals', and the domain suggests it is part of the broader Perpetuals.com group. The parent company, Perpetuals.com Ltd, describes itself as a financial technology firm bridging traditional markets with blockchain infrastructure, and it claims to be listed on NASDAQ under the ticker PDC. We could not independently verify the listing or the corporate structure from our records, and we treat those as company claims.
The Cyprus company registry shows PM MTF Ltd was registered on 9 October 2023, with a registered address in Nicosia. The registry entry lists the company as active, with a registration number of ΗΕ 452207 — though we note that this number is not the same as the CySEC licence number, and we are not using it as a licence reference. The fact that the company is registered in Cyprus is significant because Cyprus is a European Union member state and a well-known hub for regulated financial services, particularly for firms holding CySEC licences. However, registration as a limited company is not the same as being regulated; it is the CySEC licence that matters for client protection.
In FXCanary's assessment, the corporate structure here is worth noting. The trading venue appears to be a subsidiary or affiliate of a larger fintech group, which is not unusual in the industry. But it also means that the financial health and conduct of the parent company can affect the broker. Without independent financial statements or a longer operating history, we cannot assess the group's stability. For a trader, the key takeaway is that PM MTF Ltd is a young company — registered in late 2023 — and youth, combined with a lack of user reviews, means there is no track record to evaluate.
Regulatory Status and What It Means
PM MTF Ltd holds a CySEC licence, and our records list it as a CIF (Cyprus Investment Firm) licence with the number 458/25, with status 'Authorised'. This is the core fact of the broker's regulatory standing. CySEC is the financial regulator of Cyprus and is a competent authority under the European MiFID II framework. A CIF licence allows a firm to provide investment services across the European Economic Area (EEA) through passporting, subject to certain conditions. The licence number 458/25 is the one we have on file, and we quote it exactly as it appears in our records.
What does a CySEC CIF licence actually mean for a client? Under MiFID II, a CIF must meet minimum capital requirements — for a firm providing execution services, the initial capital requirement is typically €730,000, though the exact figure depends on the scope of services. The firm must also segregate client funds from its own operational funds, holding client money in separate accounts with credit institutions.
This segregation is a fundamental protection: if the broker becomes insolvent, client assets should not be part of the bankruptcy estate. Additionally, CySEC-regulated firms are required to participate in the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), which covers eligible client claims up to €20,000 per person in the event of a firm's failure. These are real protections, but they are not unlimited, and they do not cover investment losses — only losses arising from the firm's default.
However, there are nuances. The licence number 458/25 suggests a relatively recent authorisation — the '25' in the number typically indicates the year of issue, which would be 2025. That means the firm has been authorised for only a short period.
A new licence is not a red flag in itself, but it does mean the regulator has not yet had years of supervision to build a track record. We also note that our records list only one licence for PM MTF Ltd, and we found no evidence of any offshore or additional licences. The absence of offshore licensing is a positive, as it avoids the complications of dealing with a broker that operates from a lightly regulated jurisdiction.
In FXCanary's assessment, the CySEC licence provides a baseline of regulatory oversight, but the newness of the authorisation and the lack of user reviews mean that traders should approach with caution and verify the licence directly on the CySEC register.
Account Types and Minimums
Our records do not contain detailed information on PM MTF Ltd's account tiers, minimum deposits, or leverage offerings. The official website, mtf.perpetuals.com, does not appear to publish a clear breakdown of account types in the pages we reviewed. This is a significant gap in the information available to a prospective client. In the absence of verified figures, we cannot state specific minimum deposits or leverage ratios, and we will not import numbers from web search results, as those may refer to a different entity or be outdated.
What we can say is that the company positions itself as an institutional-grade trading venue, with a rulebook and policies published on its site. The rulebook, dated July 2025, covers topics such as membership, trading hours, margin requirements, and settlement — which suggests the platform is designed for professional or sophisticated participants. The presence of a 'Conflicts of Interest Policy' indicates an awareness of regulatory obligations, but it does not tell us about the retail trading experience.
For a retail trader, the lack of transparent account information is a practical obstacle. Before opening an account, a trader would need to contact the firm directly to learn about minimum deposits, leverage, and available account types. In our view, a broker that does not clearly disclose these basics on its website is not being fully transparent with potential clients. This is not necessarily a sign of wrongdoing, but it is a friction point that a cautious trader should note.
Trading Platforms and Technology
PM MTF Ltd operates a trading venue under the 'Perpetuals' brand, and the official domain mtf.perpetuals.com hosts the platform's website. From the web results, the platform appears to be a web-based trading interface, with pages for fees, terms of use, and a rulebook. We did not find evidence of a downloadable desktop platform or a mobile app in our records. The parent company, Perpetuals.com, markets a 'Kronos® Multi-Asset Exchange' as its core technology, claiming it is compliant with MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR. However, we cannot confirm that PM MTF Ltd uses this exact technology, as that is a company claim.
The trading platform appears to support a range of instruments, including spot crypto, perpetual futures, options, swaps, tokenized stocks, and pre-IPO contracts, based on the parent company's marketing materials. The rulebook for PM MTF Ltd covers 'Derivative Markets and Securities Markets', which aligns with those product categories. However, we must stress that these are the company's own descriptions; we have not independently tested the platform or verified the availability of these instruments.
For a trader, the choice of platform is critical. A web-based platform offers convenience and accessibility, but it may lack the advanced charting tools and execution speed of a dedicated desktop application. The claim of 24/7 trading is notable, as traditional exchanges have closing hours, but crypto and tokenized assets can trade around the clock. Whether the platform can deliver on that promise in practice is something we cannot verify. In the absence of independent reviews or a demo account test, we recommend that traders approach the platform with caution and thoroughly test it with a small amount of capital before committing significant funds.
Tradable Instruments and Market Access
Based on the official rulebook and the parent company's website, PM MTF Ltd appears to offer trading in a broad range of financial instruments. The rulebook, titled 'Derivative Markets and Securities Markets', suggests the venue covers both derivatives (such as futures and options) and securities (such as tokenized stocks). The parent company's marketing mentions spot crypto, perpetual futures, options, swaps, tokenized stocks, barrier certificates, and pre-IPO contracts. These are ambitious offerings that would put the venue in competition with established exchanges and brokers.
However, we must distinguish between what the company claims and what we can verify. Our records do not include a list of tradable instruments for PM MTF Ltd, and we have not been able to confirm the availability of any specific product. The rulebook is a legal document that outlines the framework for trading, but it does not guarantee that all instruments are live or available to retail clients. Some products, such as pre-IPO contracts and tokenized securities, are complex and may be restricted to professional or institutional investors under MiFID II.
For a retail trader, the breadth of instruments could be attractive, but it also carries risks. Trading complex derivatives like perpetual futures and options requires a high level of knowledge and risk tolerance. The leverage involved in such products can amplify losses significantly. In FXCanary's view, a trader considering this venue should first confirm which instruments are actually available to them, what the margin requirements are, and whether they understand the risks. The lack of clear, publicly available product documentation is a concern.
Deposits, Withdrawals, and Fees
The official website includes a 'Fees' page, but our records do not contain the actual fee schedule. The page appears to offer a downloadable 'Fees PDF', but we have not been able to verify its contents. This is a critical piece of information for any trader, as fees directly affect profitability. Without knowing the spreads, commissions, and any hidden charges, it is impossible to compare this venue with other brokers.
Similarly, we have no verified information on deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, or any associated costs. The parent company's marketing mentions 'self-clearing' and 'blockchain-based settlement', which could imply faster settlement times, but also introduces the possibility of cryptocurrency-based deposits and withdrawals. If the venue accepts crypto, that could be a convenience, but it also carries volatility and regulatory considerations.
In the absence of transparent fee information, we advise traders to request a full fee schedule from the firm before opening an account. A reputable broker should be willing to provide this without hesitation. If the firm is evasive or unclear about fees, that is a red flag. We also note that the 'Fees' page on the website requires consent for cookies, which is standard, but the actual fee content was not accessible in our review. This lack of transparency is a negative point in our assessment.
Who This Broker Suits — and Who Should Be Cautious
Given the institutional positioning and the range of complex instruments, PM MTF Ltd appears to be aimed at professional and sophisticated traders rather than complete beginners. The rulebook and policies are written in a legalistic style that assumes a certain level of market knowledge. A trader with experience in derivatives, crypto, and multi-asset trading might find the venue interesting, provided they can verify the regulatory status and fee structure. The 24/7 trading model could appeal to those who trade outside traditional market hours, such as night owls or traders in different time zones.
On the other hand, a retail beginner should be very cautious. The lack of user reviews, the newness of the licence, and the complexity of the products all point to a high-risk environment for someone just starting out. The absence of clear account information and fees makes it difficult to plan a trading strategy. Moreover, the involvement of tokenized securities and pre-IPO contracts carries unique risks, including liquidity and valuation uncertainties.
In FXCanary's assessment, this broker is not suitable for a novice trader. Even for experienced traders, we would recommend a thorough due diligence process: verify the CySEC licence on the official register, read the rulebook, request a fee schedule, and test the platform with a small deposit. The lack of independent reviews means there is no external validation of the trading experience, so the burden of verification falls entirely on the trader.
Risk Assessment and Safety Advice
Our FXCanary Scam Risk Score for PM MTF Ltd is 34 out of 100, which places it in the 'Guarded' category. This is not a 'high risk' score, but it is far from a clean bill of health. The primary risk flag we identified is 'No verifiable website or social-media presence'. While the official domain mtf.perpetuals.com is functional, and the parent company has a corporate site, we found no independent user reviews, no active social media accounts that we could verify, and no third-party commentary on the broker's performance. This lack of a digital footprint is unusual for a broker that claims to be operational.
The 'Guarded' rating reflects the fact that the broker holds a CySEC licence, which provides a baseline of regulatory oversight, and we found no evidence of clone sites or impersonation attempts. However, the newness of the licence, the lack of user feedback, and the opacity around fees and account terms prevent us from giving a more favourable rating. In our experience, brokers that are new and have no reviews are often either very new or have something to hide. We cannot determine which is the case here.
Our practical safety advice for any trader considering PM MTF Ltd is as follows: first, verify the CySEC licence directly on the CySEC website using the licence number 458/25, and check that the firm's name and services match. Second, read the full rulebook and policies on the official website to understand the terms of trading. Third, contact the firm with specific questions about fees, deposits, and withdrawals, and assess their responsiveness.
Fourth, start with a minimal deposit that you can afford to lose, and test the platform thoroughly before committing more. Finally, be aware that the Investor Compensation Fund covers up to €20,000 per eligible client, but only in the event of the firm's default, not for trading losses. If any of these steps raise concerns, it is safer to walk away and choose a broker with a longer track record and more transparent operations.
FXCanary's Final Verdict
In closing, PM MTF Ltd is a broker that presents a paradox: it holds a legitimate CySEC licence, which is a positive signal, but it operates with a level of opacity that is concerning. The lack of independent user reviews, the recent authorisation, and the absence of clear fee and account information all contribute to a 'Guarded' risk score. We cannot recommend this broker to retail traders without significant reservations.
For institutional or professional traders who are comfortable with complex instruments and have the resources to conduct thorough due diligence, the venue might be worth investigating further. The regulatory framework is in place, and the company's technology claims are ambitious. However, even for those traders, the burden of proof is on the broker to demonstrate reliability and transparency.
Our final advice is simple: do not trade with PM MTF Ltd until you have independently verified every claim, understood every fee, and tested the platform with a small amount of capital. If the broker cannot provide satisfactory answers, there are many other CySEC-regulated brokers with established track records and active user communities. In the world of forex and CFD trading, transparency and trust are everything, and PM MTF Ltd has yet to prove itself on either front.
