Regulation
Indication Investments Ltd is licensed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission under license number 164/12.[4] This authorization permits the company to provide cross-border services throughout the European Economic Area and Switzerland under the EU's Markets in Financial Instruments Directive framework. The company is also registered with Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) for cross-border activities.[6]
In August 2021, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission partially suspended the license of Indication Investments Ltd, citing concerns regarding the company's compliance procedures.[7] Libertex stated it was operating in full compliance with regulatory requirements and the suspension was lifted in late August 2021 after the company addressed the regulatory concerns and well-ahead of the deadline of September 17th imposed by CySEC.[8]
