Abstract:On Thursday, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) issued a fresh alert against IMS Crypto as it is an unlicensed company that is operating using false information to deceive investors.

On Thursday, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) issued a fresh alert on the operations of IMS Crypto, an unlicensed cryptocurrency company. The entity misrepresents having a CySEC trading licence, according to the Cypriot watchdog, by illegally using the information of the approved firm.
The ims-crypto.com website falsely claims to be operated by Initial Merit Secure Ltd. was placed on the warning list of CySEC on 9th February 2023 as it markets itself as a crypto fund managing company promising a monthly return of 15%.
According to the publicly displayed information on ims-crypto.com, not only is it licensed by CySEC, but it is also registered as a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) under license number 219/14. However, based on CySec's registration database, this CIF license actually belongs to Initial Merit Secure Ltd, thus proving that IMS is operating illegally as a clone.
As required by article 61E of the Prevention and Suppression of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Laws of 20071, as amended, CySEC officially informed the public to be aware of IMS as it is not a legitimate Crypto Asset Service Provide recognized by CySEC.
CySEC encourages retail investors to always confirm with the regulator's registry to validate the credibility of any company.

Have you experienced issues with Pepperstone deposit & withdrawal processing? From your experience, do you feel that the Australia-based forex broker causes losses to its clients? Did the brokerage entity freeze your account and give you a margin call? All these trading allegations have been rampant on broker review platforms such as WikiFX. This Pepperstone review article takes a close look at the user complaints, especially in 2026. Additionally, we have given an overview of the regulatory framework under which the brokerage entity operates.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.
