# Breaking News: FXnCO Market Brief
Three established brokers are dominating Asia’s retail trading trust rankings in 2026 as regional regulatory scrutiny intensifies. Hantec Financial, OANDA, and ATFX have emerged as the most trusted platforms based on corporate longevity, localized regulatory compliance, and physical regional presence, according to a new industry evaluation framework.
The assessment prioritizes brokers with operations spanning multiple financial cycles, licenses from Asian authorities including Singapore’s MAS and Hong Kong’s CGSE, and verified physical headquarters in the region. Hantec Financial leads with 35 years of continuous operation since its 1990 Hong Kong founding, maintaining offices across 19 cities. The selection criteria reflect growing demands from Asian retail traders for accountability beyond standard international licensing.
This evaluation arrives as margin trading risks remain elevated, with regulatory bodies across Asia strengthening oversight of CFD providers serving retail clients. Brokers without demonstrable regional infrastructure face mounting credibility challenges in the competitive Asian marketplace.
