Verified facts
- The CFTC RED List page names Sway Markets, gives swaymarkets.com, states an origin of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and dates the entry 29 May 2025. The CFTC says the entity appeared to require registration for its U.S.-jurisdiction activity but was not registered. The CFTC also says listing is not a finding by the agency or a court that a legal violation occurred. Source
- IOSCO I-SCAN records the same CFTC alert under the exact commercial and corporate name Sway Markets and the swaymarkets.com URL. Its record identifies the national authority and alert date. Source
Each finding is limited to the exact name, entity, domain and scope stated in its cited source.
Broker or public-site claims
No broker-specific statement is published in this section without a source.
A provider statement is labelled as a claim; it is not regulator verification or an independent service test.
Regulation & legal entity
A regulator authorises legal entities for specific activities; a brand name or a related company’s record does not establish who would serve a particular client. Sway Markets’s client-facing legal entity, applicable permissions and account-specific jurisdiction are not established here unless a cited record above states otherwise.
Use the licence verification guide and the official regulator guides to check the exact counterparty and domain.
Regulatory evidence summary
Regulation summary
Entity records, brand relationships and customer coverage are assessed separately. An official entity record does not show which entity will serve a particular account.
| Jurisdiction | Legal entity | Company registration | Regulator | Licence / reference | Approved domains / trade names | Official entity record | Brand relationship | Client coverage | Last checked | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not identified | Not independently identified | Not recorded | IOSCO I-SCAN | Not recorded | Not recorded | Insufficient identifying information | Relationship not independently established | Not independently established | 2026-10-27 | Provider / public source |
The exact source and its scope control each finding. See the broker regulatory evidence database for coverage across the current directory.
Overall status: Insufficient identifying information. This is an evidence-coverage label, not a safety judgement or a brand-wide authorisation statement.

Official authorisation records
No formal official-register authorisation match is recorded for this profile.
Provider disclosures
No regulatory provider claim is recorded.
Provider disclosures remain claims until independently confirmed in the relevant regulator’s current record.
Official warnings and other regulator notices
- IOSCO I-SCAN: Cross-reference to the CFTC alert; not a separate determination.
A warning is a separate risk signal; it is not an authorisation match and is not extended to another entity or domain.
What remains unverified
The client-contracting entity, client-specific relationship to any named entity, current applicable permissions, account jurisdiction, and whether any cited record covers the reader’s product or client type remain unverified unless a source above expressly establishes them.
Informational risk note
How should I read this evidence?
“Official register matched” applies only to the named entity and linked regulator record. It does not confirm that the broker brand, website or a particular client is served by that entity. Warnings, provider claims, search gaps and risk observations are recorded separately.
Evidence sources are listed in the source ledger; checked dates apply to individual sources and records, not every statement on this page.
Safety & risk overview
