Regulatory Oversight and Voluntary Liquidation
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has executed a decisive regulatory move, announcing the dissolution and liquidation of Wanterfell Investment AIFLNP V.C.I.C. Ltd. The dismantling of the fund follows the full redemption of its units and adheres to article 132(1)(d) of the Alternative Investment Funds Law of 2018. Established as an Alternative Investment Fund with a Limited Number of Persons (AIFLNP) under License Number LPAIF123/2014, the fund’s external manager, T.C.R. International Ltd, proactively informed CySEC as mandated by article 63(8) of the law.
Strategic Enforcement Measures at Octa Markets Cyprus
In a separate but related directive, CySEC’s board determined that Pavel Prozorov, the ultimate beneficial owner of Octa Markets Cyprus Ltd, had compromised the company’s robust management standards. At a meeting held on August 25, 2025, CySEC invoked its authority under article 11(3) of the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law (Law 87(I)/2017). The board suspended the voting rights associated with Prozorov’s shareholding, which accounts for 95% of the company’s capital, and prohibited him from executing any management duties on the board of directors. These measures are effective immediately and underscore CySEC’s commitment to maintaining market integrity and safeguarding investor interests.
