CySEC Issues Stern Warning On Unauthorized Online Investment Platforms

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has issued a decisive warning to investors regarding several online platforms that lack the proper authorization to operate as investment service providers in Cyprus. This move underscores CySEC’s commitment to maintaining a transparent and secure financial environment for all market participants.

Unauthorised Investment Platforms Under Scrutiny

CySEC has identified a number of websites—including amazon-forex.com, novatradecore.com, vall-fin.com, daoroyal.com, capitaldealhub.com/AI_app_es, digiteamagency.com/second-income, seamanfx.com, newfuturevip.com, trademarketcup.com, fxtrade.app, and mexc.com—that do not belong to any entity granted legal authorization under the current investment services legislation. These platforms are not permitted to offer investment services or engage in investment activities within the Republic, a fact that raises significant concerns for prudent investors.

Investor Caution Advised

In its statement, CySEC emphasized that these websites operate without legal permission, urging investors to conduct due diligence before entering into financial engagements. By verifying the legitimacy of any investment firm, investors can avoid potential risks associated with unauthorized financial activities. CySEC recommended visiting its official website at cysec.gov.cy to review the current list of licensed entities, ensuring that any engagement aligns with regulatory standards.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance

In today’s digital landscape, the proliferation of unauthorized investment services can undermine investor confidence and destabilize market integrity. This alert from CySEC serves as an important reminder that rigorous verification and adherence to regulatory guidelines are essential steps for safeguarding one’s investments. By taking proactive measures and consulting trusted sources, investors can navigate the complex financial terrain with greater assurance and confidence.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
