ASIC: one of the strictest regulators globally
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, July 11, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In April 2026, a piece of news garnered attention in the fintech industry -- Grand Markets officially announced that it had obtained a financial services license (AFSL) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), thereby being officially incorporated into Australia's financial regulatory system.
In the field of financial derivatives trading, a regulatory license is never just a certificate hanging on the wall. It serves as the last line of defense for investors' funds, provides legal protection for the compliant operation of the platform, and is even a core variable determining whether a financial technology enterprise can go far and steadily.
ASIC: One of the Strictest Regulators Globally
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is a globally recognized statutory financial regulatory authority with extremely stringent regulatory rules. Relying on the Corporations Act 2001, ASIC implements full-process, high-standard, and normalized supervision of licensed institutions.
In core areas such as capital adequacy ratio, customer fund segregation, risk management and control, information disclosure, anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and investor rights protection, it sets audit and operational thresholds that far exceed the industry average.
Grand Markets' successful passage through ASIC's rigorous review is attributed to the company's long-standing core operating philosophy of prioritizing compliance, coupled with its well-established internal governance structure, mature risk control system, transparent business processes, and professional operating team.
Obtaining an ASIC license means that Grand Markets must strictly adhere to Australian financial laws and regulations and accept ongoing supervision throughout the process.
Meanwhile, Grand Markets also holds a full Investment Dealer license issued by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. The license from the Mauritius FSC is one of the most highly recognized licenses in the international financial industry, covering compliant trading business in foreign exchange, contracts for difference, commodities, stocks, bonds, and other financial derivatives.
The dual-license setup enables Grand Markets to operate in multiple jurisdictions with a compliant status, providing legal protection for its clients.
Customer Fund Security: Segregated Storage, Independent Management
After obtaining ASIC regulation, Grand Markets strictly implements a system where customer funds are completely separated from corporate operating funds. The funds are deposited in dedicated segregated accounts at licensed banks in Australia, eliminating the risk of mixed use and providing comprehensive protection for user funds.
In terms of information security, the platform adopts bank-level SSL encryption technology to comprehensively safeguard the transaction environment and data privacy. All financial services, product promotions, and transaction processes comply with ASIC regulatory standards, ensuring transparent information disclosure, eliminating non-compliant operations, and guaranteeing fair and equitable transactions.
Risk Control System: Covering Eight Core Dimensions
Risk management is a core aspect of brokerage business. Grand Markets has established a comprehensive management system that covers transaction risks, customer risks, payment risks, operational risks, and compliance risks.
As a global provider of brokerage infrastructure and multi-asset trading services, Grand Markets offers a comprehensive risk management system for wholesale trading clients, supporting fully customizable alert thresholds across eight core risk dimensions:
Order size

Asset exposure
Liquidity depth

Grand Markets has also established a dual mechanism of internal risk control and external regulatory audit, regularly submitting operational reports to ASIC and actively accepting regulatory verification.
On-Chain Risk Control: Serving New Demands of Digital Finance
Against the backdrop of the rapid development of digital assets and blockchain technology, Grand Markets has proactively deployed on-chain risk control services to assist on-chain traders, platforms, or exchanges in avoiding high-risk trading users or capital behaviors.
