期货和衍生品行业监管动态

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today issued a customer advisory
warning the public to thoroughly research potential investments in over-the-counter

foreign exchange (OTC forex). The new advisory, Eight Things You Should Know

Before Trading Forex, provides potential investors with eight cautionary tips about

the risks of trading OTC forex. To help protect themselves against fraud, the advisory

encourages potential investors to thoroughly research an OTC forex dealer before

making any deposits or sharing personal information. It also outlines what forex

dealer registration entails, and why it matters, as well as common signs of fraudulent

OTC forex websites.

The CFTC has seen a growing number of complaints from customers who

deposited money into accounts with unregistered retail OTC forex dealers, but later

were unable to withdraw their principal or earnings. There are several tactics

fraudulent dealers commonly use, including, soliciting customers on social media;
requiring payment in bitcoin or other digital assets; manipulating currency prices and

trading results; offering unusually high leverage; and refusing or ignoring customer

withdrawals.

Checking registration and disciplinary histories is especially important when

researching OTC forex dealers because customers trade only against their dealers in

over-the-counter trading. When a customer buys, the dealer is the seller; when a

customer sells, the dealer is the buyer. Dealers also control the information customers

see on trading platforms and apps, including prices and account balances.
