Regulation and Compliance

Sphinx MTF is dedicated to ensuring compliance and transparency, offering a secure and reliable trading environment for traders and businesses. Our regulatory framework is designed to meet global standards while providing seamless access to energy and commodity markets.

Initial Regulation with the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA)

Sphinx MTF is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, a globally recognized regulator for financial services and digital assets. This regulatory framework ensures that:

• Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures are strictly enforced, protecting the integrity of the platform.

• User data is managed securely, adhering to international data protection and privacy standards.

• Operational compliance is maintained through regular reporting and independent audits.

Operating under the BMA enables Sphinx MTF to create a safe and innovative trading environment while adhering to global best practices.

Future Regulation with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

Sphinx MTF is preparing to secure authorization from the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Regulation under the FCA will allow Sphinx to:

• Expand accessibility to global markets, particularly in Europe and other major trading regions.

• Meet the rigorous requirements of institutional traders with enhanced risk management, governance, and transparency.

• Provide traders and businesses with the assurance that comes from operating on a platform recognized by one of the most respected financial regulators in the world.

This dual-regulation strategy ensures that Sphinx MTF is positioned to serve a global audience while meeting the needs of both retail and institutional participants.
