Regulatory profile
Lirunex is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2018 and headquartered in Malaysia.
In our database Lirunex is matched to 2 licences from CySEC and Labuan FSA. Its strongest licence comes from the CySEC, which we rate tier 2: credible supervision, but with fewer safeguards than the very strictest regulators.
Like many international brands, Lirunex combines onshore and offshore entities. Clients in the UK, EU or other markets where it holds a strong licence are usually onboarded there, while clients elsewhere may be placed with its Labuan FSA-licensed company. The protections differ substantially, so check which company is named in your client agreement.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the CySEC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at CySEC).
Lirunex offers MT4 and MT5.

Lirunex regulation FAQ
Is Lirunex regulated?
Yes — in our database Lirunex is matched to 2 licences: CySEC (Cyprus) and Labuan FSA (Malaysia (Labuan)). Which of these protects you depends on the legal entity you open an account with. Always confirm the licence on the regulator's official register.
Is Lirunex a tier-1 regulated broker?
No. None of the licences we have matched to Lirunex is from a tier-1 regulator. Its strongest licence is tier 2.
Does Lirunex accept US clients?
Lirunex is not matched to a CFTC/NFA registration in our database. Only CFTC-registered, NFA-member firms may offer retail forex to US residents, so Lirunex generally cannot accept US retail forex clients.
Is my money protected with Lirunex?
Clients of Lirunex's CySEC-regulated entity may be eligible for statutory compensation (Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) — up to €20,000). Clients of other entities rely on segregation of funds and the firm's financial strength.
How can I verify Lirunex's licence?
Find the company name and licence number in Lirunex's client agreement or website footer, then search it on the regulator's official register (linked from each licence on this page). Confirm that the website domain you use is listed on the register, and check the regulator's warning list for clones.
