Hey everyone, just came across this deep dive into Elev8 Broker breaking down the Seychelles FSA framework and wanted to get some of your technical takes on it. With the FSA tightening up capital adequacy rules, pushing risk-sensitive calibrations, and setting that hard deadline for mid-2026, I'm wondering how this is going to ripple through the sector.
Ngl, seeing offshore jurisdictions step up compliance and dodge the FATF gray list is definitely a positive for institutional confidence, but I'm curious about the micro-level impact. Do you guys reckon these higher capital requirements and annual attestation cycles are going to squeeze out smaller market makers? More importantly, could this shift in regulatory overhead affect order execution quality or liquidity depth for retail guys scalping the major forex pairs? Hold on—if brokers have to lock up more capital locally, does that change how they handle counterparty risk during high-volatility events around key support and resistance levels? Let me know how you guys factor regulatory news like this into your broker selection for short-term trading.
