CySEC Withdraws ICF Membership From Three Firms Amid Regulatory Clampdown

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

November 14, 2025

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) announced a decisive regulatory action this week. In a significant enforcement move, the Investors Compensation Fund (ICF) has withdrawn its membership from three financial entities—BrightPool Ltd, VPR Safe Financial Group Ltd, and FIBO Markets Ltd. This step follows the recent CySEC decision to rescind their Cyprus Investment Firm authorizations.

Implications For Covered Clients

Despite the membership revocations, authorities have clarified that the rights of covered clients remain intact. Clients who had engaged in investment operations prior to the loss of membership will continue to be eligible for compensation, provided they meet the required conditions. The decision, therefore, does not impede the initiation of compensation procedures for impacted investors.

By enforcing strict compliance, the commission sets a precedent for financial accountability in the industry. Investors and market participants are advised to stay informed about ongoing developments as regulatory authorities continue to tighten oversight measures.

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
