AFM Signal Monitor

More signals about deception with cryptos and forex, less about CFDs


After years of increase, the number of reports to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) of misleading CFD providers fell sharply in the second half of 2021. The number of signals about possible misleading investments in cryptos and foreign currencies (forex) actually rose. This is stated in the new, half-yearly Signals Monitor. In short:

  • More signals about misleading investors in cryptos and forex
  • Number of signals about dubious offers of CFDs has decreased
  • People are increasingly approached through dating apps
