CFTC adds 45 entities to it's "red list". All of my old offshore brokers ar there.
From the prop space, only one is True Forex Funds
The red list is good in a way, they generally cannot threaten or shut these entities down, that is why they "must protect us from ourselves" through the red list.

-Yeah, I think we probably know why they made the list so quickly. The red list can also be considered a white list, depending on how you look at things.

Interesting. You would think that they wouldnt single out one firm and just go for all of them. Other than the WD issues what else has TFF done to warrant that ahead of everyone else?

Edit: I didnt have them on my bankruptcy bingo card

-Nothing that I know of. But that would be enough to get certain types worked up and start reporting them to authorities over here. It's ignorant, if you ask me. Anyone trading with an offshore broker or firm should do so knowing the inherent risks and plan accordingly.

other then a handfull of prop firms, majority are located in Europe or outside US. so what can the CFTC do about? even to the american citizens, warn them maybe but they can t ban them from investing outside US? atleast as far as i know. although it doesn t look 2 good to be on that list regardless of jurisdiction etc.
also, don t these props gathered enough money for a good lawyer and an accountant etc? if yes, then they should have already formulated the T.C. in such a way that keeps them out of trouble.
i dunno, i for 1 don t see any major regulations comin atleast for the next couple of years.

You are underestimating SEC and CFTC, same things happened couple of years ago with Binary options. They stopped binary options all together. They will force credit card companies and Deel (which is main mediator). Only difference here is prop firms can still use crypto to deposit and withdraw.

That's just it... what they cannot stop directly, they will try to suffocate by targeting fiat payment processors, banks and transfer systems etc.. Crypto has been the golden ticket, but since it is still not yet widely adopted, people still need on/off ramps to convert their crypto into fiat and vice versa. This is why recent calls for Gary Gensler's removal from SEC chair should be on every US traders' watch list at the moment; at least those that have taken their business offshore.

Long ago this CFTC list was the first step before the mass suing of brokers operating in the US without a license. But this list is not complete so there is more to it.

in order to do something like that i d imagine they d need a high nr of real cases (complaints) plus, they d have to prove that the prop firms are fraudsters? how else can they enforce something like that? it s just unreal imo atleast. there will always be cheaters, thiefs and so on, but u can t just set whatever laws u want. let s keep every1 working in factories then on minimum wage so there are no more investing issues joking ofc but seems highly unlikely that scenario.

Well they are angel guardian, look what they have done with Binance, forex in general, Coinbase (in canada you cant even wire money to coinbase only debit card with limit of 1-3K with high level verification). No body knows when Dodd franks soul gets reincarnated and start scratching prop firms ass at any time.

-Any broker providing services to US citizens that operates within the jurisdictional reach of regulatory groups and/or where reciprocity agreements/treaties et al. exist with the United States (i.e. where their rules and regulations can be enforced to some capacity).

This is why that are often accused of overreach and bullying, because not only do they drive business overseas, but then they go out of their way to try to bully anyone that dares to provide services to their citizens without playing by their rules and paying their fees etc.. It's a joke, really.

This is why so many brokers and exchanges do not offer services to US citizens (and others, for similar reasoning). The heavy burden and financial costs for compliance (or non-compliance) just isn't worth it in most cases.

Brokers, firms and exchanges etc. that set up shop outside of the reach of various regulatory groups are typically the ones that make the red list, nowadays, to help serve as a warning to US investors and the like. Because, after all, we need to be protected from ourselves.

Unelected federal bureaucrats in the executive branch have been setting whatever unconstitutional "laws" and regulations they want for well over a century in America. The legislative branch unlawfully delegated authority--without representation--to the executive branch to do so, and the judicial branch hasn't done much to stop it but slap their hand every now and then.
