PrimeXBT provides its services through entities regulated or registered with the following authorities:

• Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) - South Africa (License No. 45697)

• Financial Services Authority (FSA) - Seychelles (License No. SD162)

• Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales (CNAD) - El Salvador (Digital Asset Services Provider license)

This multi-entity structure enables PrimeXBT to serve clients worldwide while complying with regional regulatory requirements. The FSCA license, in particular, allows the broker to operate as an authorized financial services provider and strengthens its regulatory standing in emerging financial markets.

Security

PrimeXBT implements several security and risk-management measures designed to protect client funds, account data, and trading infrastructure.

The broker applies advanced security technology, including:

• Cold storage for the majority of cryptocurrency holdings

• Multi-signature wallet protection

• Two-factor authentication (2FA) for account access

• Hardware security modules (HSM) for cryptographic protection

• Encrypted communication and transaction monitoring systems

PrimeXBT also offers negative balance protection, ensuring that clients cannot lose more than their deposited funds during extreme market volatility.

In addition, PrimeXBT participates in dispute resolution and investor protection programs through the Financial Commission, which may provide compensation coverage in certain cases of broker misconduct.

Transparency

PrimeXBT maintains a transparent operational model supported by its regulatory licenses, legal disclosures, and compliance procedures. The broker clearly publishes its legal entities, licensing information, and applicable regulatory jurisdictions on its official legal documentation pages.

As a regulated financial services provider in South Africa and other jurisdictions, PrimeXBT must follow regulatory standards related to licensing, operational transparency, anti-money laundering compliance, and client verification procedures.

The broker also provides access to formal legal agreements, risk disclosures, and regulatory information, allowing traders to review their rights, obligations, and trading conditions before opening an account.
