CySEC is a tier 2 financial regulatory agency from Europe. They are a modern and well-funded organization and often the first to make regulatory changes needed to protect would-be traders and maintain fairness in the CFD industry. Generally speaking, CySEC-regulated brokers can be considered safe. Still, some few CySEC-regulated brokers have a history of controversy, and the regulator has only taken limited action on behalf of clients and partners. But it is essential to look at the detail of each broker to find out what differentiates them from each other.
