V Global Markets Launches Offshore CFD Brand Under Seychelles Licence

The operator of VantoFX, an offshore contracts-for-differences (CFD) broker, has unveiled a new sister brand, V Global Markets, which has obtained a Seychelles Securities Dealer licence. The licence allows the company to offer CFD instruments, onboard clients directly, and hold client deposits under regulatory supervision.

Arthur Kbejan, Founder and Group CEO of VantoFX, described the licence as a validation of the firm's standards. "Earning the trust of regulators and clients alike requires patience, structure and integrity. This licence is a testament to that approach," he said. However, Kbejan noted that V Global Markets will not onboard clients immediately, pending completion of operational and compliance preparations.

Industry observers note that offshore licensing remains a common route for CFD brokers. VantoFX's legacy brand operates under a Saint Lucia registration, which does not specifically license CFDs but is often used to facilitate such services. Seychelles, meanwhile, has attracted multiple CFD brokers who maintain high-leverage operations from the island.

Kbejan brings extensive industry experience, having worked with GFT, 26 Degrees, oneZero, MEX Exchange, and Tickmill. He previously served as Chief Information Officer at the MultiBank Group. His new venture reflects a continued trend of offshore brokers expanding operations under regional licensing regimes to gain regulatory recognition while serving global clients.
