CFTC Adds 22 Unregistered Foreign Entities to RED List
On August 24, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission added 22 unregistered foreign entities to its Registration Deficient List (RED List). A firm is added to the RED List when the CFTC determines that such firm (1) is not registered with the CFTC; and (2) appears to be acting in a capacity that requires registration, such as trading binary options, foreign currency or other products. The RED List is available here, and provides information about the listed entities and why the CFTC recommends individuals not engage in financial transactions with them.
