Markets.com is regulated by CySEC (Cyprus), FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), FSCA (South Africa), BVI FSC (British Virgin Islands).

Markets.com is a well-established, multi-regulated broker with genuine tier-1 oversight from CySEC and FCA, and a broad instrument range that suits most retail traders. Its commission-free pricing on forex is accessible for beginners, but the spread-only model (~1.3 pips on EUR/USD) makes it uncompetitive for high-volume scalpers who need raw-spread ECN access. The 90-day inactivity fee and the de facto closure of the ASIC-regulated Australian entity are meaningful caveats to flag; clients should confirm which entity they are onboarded to, as protections differ significantly between the CySEC/FCA entities (investor compensation, 1:30 leverage cap) and the offshore BVI/SVG entity (higher leverage, weaker protections).
