Exness does not operate in the US due to stringent regulations enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). These bodies impose complex requirements, including registration, high capital reserves, and leverage limits, which are challenging for international brokers like Exness. Instead, Exness focuses on markets with less restrictive regulations, such as Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, where it holds licenses from authorities like the FSA (Seychelles) and CySEC (Cyprus). The Exness website explicitly states that it does not accept clients from certain jurisdictions, including the US, due to these regulatory constraints.
