The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has decided to ban the offering of binary options and to introduce restrictions on the sale of CFDs (contracts for difference). ESMA is taking these measures in order to protect retail investors.

The FSMA issued a Regulation in 2016 establishing a framework for the distribution of binary options and CFDs. More information about that Regulation.
