Watch for
- Self-measured latency claims
- Tier 2 license implications
GC Exchange Limited is regulated by the FCA in the UK and the Danish FSA, focusing on institutional and professional clients. The firm offers services in digital assets, rolling spot FX, and CFDs but does not serve retail clients. Claims of ultra-low latency and liquidity quality are self-measured and should be evaluated critically.
