Qamar Hussain (@Qamar12Hussain) reported@CMCMarkets As somebody who absolutely loves the #Forex market using the CMC platform as a retail day trader, i don't see much support for them from large brokers such as yourselves? When other brokers are funding leveraged accounts, why can't CMC offer a far better & meaningful facility?

Bombaytonic (@bombaytonic717) reportedMany, have wondered why we are not seeing more token speculation from @CMCMarkets insiders especially at recent lows. Quite honestly, maybe it’s already happened, but the below gives an argument why these folks can’t be buying right now or at least difficult for them to do so. CMC has already executed tokenised equity issuance inside regulated custody frameworks (via CMC CapX) with StrikeX minting the mirror token on Arbitrum That is post-legal review activity — meaning: 👉 Compliance 👉 Market abuse teams 👉 Personal account dealing (PAD) surveillance 👉 Regulatory reporting …are already live on anything touching this stack. When a regulated broker-dealer is: •Acting as placement agent •Tokenising securities •And now controls the tokenisation engine …they cross from “crypto partner” into: Dealer-restricted person Under market integrity rules (UK MAR / CIRO equivalents), dealer-restricted persons: “Generally [are] prohibited [from] purchases… of restricted securities where there is undisclosed material information regarding the issuer.” Now here’s the translation into plain English: If CMC Markets has: •Non-public knowledge of •A commercial rollout •Of infrastructure •That they control •Built by StrikeX Then ANY employee trading STRX ahead of launch becomes: ✔ Market abuse risk ✔ Insider dealing exposure ✔ Front-running optics ✔ FCA enforcement risk ✔ Listing rule breach risk ⸻ 🧠 Which Means In Practice: Even if you cannot find STRX on a public restricted list (you never will): Internally, CMC almost certainly has: •PAD pre-clearance requirements •Blackout periods •MNPI attestations •Related-party trading bans •Watch lists (soft) •Restricted lists (hard) …and STRX would be a textbook inclusion candidate because: 📌 They now control product direction 📌 They are commercialising tokenised securities 📌 They are listed on the LSE 📌 They are operating under MAR That is literally the regulatory environment where firms freeze employee trading in partner securities pre-commercial release. In TradFi-native crypto integrations: Retail hype normally comes from: •VC funds •Employees •Devs •Service providers •Advisory firms But here: Anyone inside: •CMC CapX •Corporate broking •Capital markets •Compliance •Engineering •Legal •Product •StrikeX integration layer …is almost certainly PAD-monitored. Meaning: The normal speculative frontrunning mechanism may literally not exist in this case. We’re doing this slowly under regulatory supervision.” They are NOT marketing a crypto app. They are integrating settlement-layer infra into a regulated brokerage. So, that leads me to the reg side of the equation and why that may be part of the wait we are seeing. I’ll touch on that next later on… #StrikeX $STRX

Gasino (@Gasino11) reported@Greg__Clark Referring to cash product at #cmcmarkets @CMCMarkets which was trading at $116.5 when I tweeted, on its way down aggressively and targeting below $115

RS (@rscxxv1) reported@CMCMarkets Your platform is down , cant log in on phone , imac or iPad
-
Michael Balch 🍹 (@michaelbalch) reported@CMCMarkets I'm going to assume at this point that you have no DR or redundancy, and your customer service and staff are unable to communicate externally beyond this one tweet. It's not a good look.

Graham Roberts (@MrGrahamAr) reported@CMCMarkets It looks like you will have customers who still can't login because their browser has cached invalid code/data. Let them know to either clear browser caches or use an Incognito/Private browsing tab in their browser.

nick smith (@nick_allied) reported@CMCMarkets platform down? Getting the login error again. Your phones are playing up as well just to add to the irritation.
-
Archie Sanford (@BookofCrusty) reportedFiled complaints tonight on cmc markets to ur regulators. @CMCMarkets is clearly adjusting their books while the platform is down every major american data report. costing you as you can't open/close positions. Get mad and take action. You see the pattern

Ben Lingwood (@LingwoodBen) reported@BookofCrusty @vdel13 @CMCMarkets It's not a worldwide crash its just cmc down
-
Mj (@Javad_2014) reported@CMCMarkets your platform is down
-
Kruz (@PKruzcontrol) reported@mhewson_CMC @CMCMarkets They have so much **** on their balance sheet, they couldn't raise rates even if they wanted to. Either it will end in hyperinflation and a following revolution. Or they will crash the system and issue cdbc to everyone so you can't escape. Probably the second.
-
Archie Sanford (@BookofCrusty) reportedOne of the craziest opens in weeks and @CMCMarkets was down again. Traders must be fuming 😤
-
Archie Sanford (@BookofCrusty) reported@cuspofliberty @VelliosMichael @CMCMarkets Nope. Always have multiple brokers. Don't trade just one account for these reasons. While CMC was down I was able to trade others and my day is done already. Be it forex, futures, options or straight stocks spread out ur capital Just some advice
-
Gasino (@Gasino11) reported@Specialcase332 @CMCMarkets Still down for us
-
Letsgooooo (@TradeStrikeX) reportedNot going to talk down the others, but I will say that $STRX token #StrikeX has major institutional backing from @CMCMarkets who will soon start taking their billions of daily trading volume onto the blockchain Potential upside is basically limitless so DYOR and position yourselves accordingly
-
Trent Watson (@TrentWa79286162) reported@CMCMarkets This is costing me $1000's of dollars being down. Does the average trader wear the cost of a platform crash....? Not cool
-
nearly_z-NFT (@NZ_NFT) reported@LingwoodBen @stokesbaytrader @CMCMarkets That is not exactly compelling evidence. 10 months trading with them, first time i've seen this. I certainly want to know if there are real issues though.
-
Perize 🚀 (@LePerize) reported@CMCMarkets @CMCMarketsSG y’all have the worst customer support and operation team ever. I have filed a simple request with evidence provided because of your data issue problem but I have been met with constant procrastination and delayed in response. Horrible service and broker
-
FonduDoge (@FonduDoge) reported@ZeusRWA StrikeX is the Institutional Settlement Layer owned by @CMCMarkets (a FTSE 250 Giant with $20B daily volume). Millions of banking clients will start trading tokenized assets on the CMC Super App (releases q2 2026). Behind the scenes, the #StrikeX engine handles the settlement (T+0). To do this, the system automatically buys and burns $STRX from the open market to pay the network fee. 1% of that cmc volume = strikex becomes the most profitable rwa.
