AI trading by country: who regulates it, and how you check
Almost every question about whether a platform is trustworthy resolves to the same two facts: which legal entity would hold your money, and which regulator supervises it. Both answers are public, free and country-specific.
These guides walk the verification path for the markets we cover, with links to the regulator’s own register rather than to our opinion of it.

This page is general education, not financial, legal or tax advice. Rules change, and what applies to you depends on your circumstances and on the legal entity you actually contract with. Verify every claim on the regulator’s own register before you deposit anything.
