In 2026, 18 brokers hold both ASIC (Australia) and CySEC (Cyprus) licenses. This combination is particularly common among brokers targeting both the Asia-Pacific and European markets simultaneously.

ASIC is consistently ranked among the world's top regulators for retail trader protection, with strict capital requirements and client fund segregation. CySEC provides EU passporting across all 27 member states with ICF compensation up to €20,000. Together, they provide a strong regulatory framework covering two major global trading regions.

Brokers with ASIC+CySEC dual regulation typically operate multiple entities to serve different client bases with region-appropriate protections, leverage limits, and risk disclosures.
