The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an urgent warning against 10 websites operating without proper authorization to offer investment or crypto-asset services in Cyprus. The September 4, 2026 notice identifies platforms including amazon-forex.com, novatradecore.com, and fxtrade.app as lacking licenses under Cyprus investment law and the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.
CySEC did not disclose the operators behind these sites or confirm whether investor complaints triggered the warning. The regulator emphasized that brand names, office addresses, or claimed license numbers alone cannot verify legitimacy. Traders and investors dealing with these unauthorized platforms fall outside CySEC’s supervisory framework, forfeiting standard protections available through licensed firms.
This warning continues CySEC’s established pattern of regularly flagging unauthorized websites, though these notices represent alerts rather than formal enforcement actions. The regulator directed market participants to consult its official register before engaging with any investment or crypto service provider.

Verify all platform licenses through official regulatory registers before depositing funds, as unauthorized operators offer zero investor protection or regulatory recourse.
