《February 2026 FOREX MARKET Monthly Report on Compliance Monitoring Observations》

At the start of 2026, the compliance environment for the FX and CFD industry is undergoing a deeper structural shift. Regulators are no longer satisffed with whether policies exist on paper; attention is moving toward whether governance is veriffable, systems are auditable, and cross-border coordination is operationally enforceable. This issue of FX Market Tracker follows two core threads: ffrst, using the DIFC confficts-of-interest thematic review as a lens to observe how regulators evaluate"veriffable governance"; second, focusing on CySEC’s CP-01/CP-02-2026 fee consultations to assess how an upward shift in CIF and PRIIPs cost structures may reshape brokers' operating models. We also compile key developments across SupTech, MiCA/DORA implementation, and AI live testing, alongside broker dispute cases involving Taurex, HTFX, and HFM.

Preface

The forex and CFD industry is entering a phase of foundational regulatory transformation in 2026. Regulatory priorities are shifting from simply having comprehensive rules in place to ensuring verifiable governance, traceable systems, and enforceable cross-border coordination.

This edition of Forex Market Watch focuses on three key pillars-new regulatory benchmarks, cost restructuring, and institutional credibility-to present an authoritative outlook on the major trends shaping the industry at the start of 2026.

Key Highlights of This Issue:

1. An analysis of DIFC's conflict-of-interest review, clarifying new benchmarks regulators are using to assess compliance.
2. A breakdown of CySEC's fee consultation, examining how rising CIF and PRIIPs costs may impact brokerage firms.
3. A summary of regulatory developments, including SupTech, MiCA, and DORA, alongside a review of recent disputes involving trading firms.
