What the record says
CySEC's own investment-firms listing titles the entity 'ABF Trade EU Limited (ex X Global Markets Ltd)', evidencing the company name change from X Global Markets Ltd.
ABF Trade's own Terms of Use state the company holds CySEC CIF Licence No. 171/12 with registration number HE 291958 and offices at 162 Fragklinou Rousvelt, Limassol.
Finance Magnates reported CySEC fined X Global Markets Ltd EUR 5,000; the article also describes the group's Vanuatu arm XGLOBAL FX Ltd as VFSC-regulated.
The brand's former xglobalmarkets.com domains no longer serve content and the business now operates via abftrade.com under the ABF Trade name.
