Voluntarily Renounces Its CIF License of CySEC
FXVC(https://www.fxvc.com/eu/) announced that it has applied to abandon its CIF license of CySEC with authorisation number 238/14 as of 20 January 2022 and ceased the offering of investment services to its clients as of 28 February 2022.
According to the notice, all open trades will need to be closed by the end of 28 February 2022. If investors do not close their open positions by the date, they will be closed automatically.
In addition, the company will not accept any new clients and existing clients who have eligible funds in their account will be refunded in accordance with the companys Terms and Conditions.
When checking on the CySEC register, we found the regulatory status of FXVC changed into under examination for voluntary renunciation of the authorisation. That means the FXVC‘s surrender of license is entirely voluntary based on the company’s decision and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action.

The reasons leading up to this decision remain unclear, but CySEC will certainly maintain supervision over the financial service company until it has taken care of its responsibilities under the license.
It's worth noting that another domain https://www.fxvc.com/int related to FXVC, is still available, and is offering investment services under the supervision of the Seychelles FSA.
In recent years, a new breed of retailer-focused trading firms has emerged: proprietary (prop) trading outfits that recruit individual traders to trade the firm’s capital under structured rules. Boasting low entry costs, clear risk parameters, and profit-sharing incentives, these prop firms are rapidly winning over retail traders, many of whom previously traded Contracts for Difference (CFDs) with established online brokers. As prop trading revenues accelerate, a key question arises: Are CFD brokers losing business to prop firms?
