Webinar: CySEC 2026 Conflicts Sweep - What We’re Seeing Across the Market
Location: Online Webinar
Date: Thursday, April 30th
Time: 15:00 EET
CySEC is shifting from reviewing policies to testing how firms operate in practice.
We analyzed 154 CySEC-regulated firms and their Conflicts of Interest Policies, representing the effective CFD/FX market.
What You’ll Learn in This Webinar:
Where firms are most exposed
What regulators are actually testing
Why “paper compliance” breaks under inspection
Learn More from Our Analysis:
What we found is a clear pattern:
The closer a control is to the client experience, the weaker its coverage in the policy.
Under ESMA’s 2026 Common Supervisory Action on Conflicts (“CSA”), we discuss findings into two primary focus areas:
Inducements & distribution (“CSA 1”)
Digital platforms and client interfaces (“CSA 2”)
Key Observations:
Strong performance in traditional areas (identification, internal controls)
Material gaps in:
Digital platforms and client interfaces; and
Inducements & distribution.
Fewer than 10% of firms demonstrate strong coverage in client-facing risks
What This Means
Conflicts are no longer just in policies — they are embedded in:
Platform design
Incentive structures
Distribution models
This is where regulators are now focusing.
