  2. Get Marketing Ltd (midasglobe.com)
  3. Uniqueness and Faith PA Ltd (netobrokers.com)
  4. Binext Solutions srl and Binext Global Ltd (10trading.com)
  5. Vip Markets; and
  6. Nordic Pearl Limited

However, in fact, other global regulators have already issued public warnings about some of these companies. These regulators include the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Financial Market Authority from Austria, and Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spain).

As well as, other watchdogs, such as the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, and the Danish Financial Authority also have been warning about these firms. In addition, the watchdog published a list of those financial entities which are listed by other European financial regulators.

The Italian regulator follows in the footsteps of other authorities in Europe which have recently taken serious steps to curtail binary options activities and stem the flow of unregulated and non-compliant companies.

However, these steps aim to establish a hostile environment by imposing strict regulations, such as the French ban on all online advertising by binary options and forex providers. In some places , here is even an outright ban on the industry.
