Cyprus has become a significant hub for online investment and Forex activity, attracting investors from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Alongside legitimate operators, however, a substantial number of cases involve unlicensed platforms, clone companies falsely claiming a Cyprus presence, and boiler-room structures targeting foreign clients.

Cyprus companies are widely used as holding, investment and commercial vehicles by investors from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Although these structures are often stable, disputes between shareholders arise frequently — particularly where foreign investors rely on local directors, nominees or partners to manage Cyprus-based entities.

Online investment platforms claiming a "Cyprus connection" have increased significantly in recent years. Many present themselves as regulated, EU-compliant or professionally managed, yet closer examination often reveals unlicensed structures, fabricated credentials or shell entities with no genuine presence in Cyprus.
