Licences are matched from public sources and regulator registers, and entities change over time. A licence held by one company in a group does not cover clients of another. Always confirm on the official register.
Regulatory profile
EdgeClear is a futures broker (FX futures) founded in 2009 and headquartered in United States.
In our database EdgeClear is matched to 1 licence from CFTC / NFA. At the top of that list, the CFTC / NFA (United States) is among the regulators we classify as tier 1 — regulators that combine high capital requirements with meaningful retail protections.
None of the regulators we have matched to EdgeClear operates a statutory compensation scheme covering retail forex, so the safety of your deposit relies mainly on segregation of client funds and the broker's own financial strength. Retail leverage caps apply at the CFTC / NFA-regulated entities (for example 50:1 on major FX pairs, 20:1 on other pairs at CFTC / NFA).
EdgeClear supports its own proprietary platform.
EdgeClear provides access to currency futures listed on regulated exchanges such as CME Group, rather than spot forex or CFDs. Futures are standardised, centrally cleared contracts with different margin and tax treatment from spot FX.
