Bombaytonic (@bombaytonic717) reportedMany, have wondered why we are not seeing more token speculation from @CMCMarkets insiders especially at recent lows. Quite honestly, maybe it’s already happened, but the below gives an argument why these folks can’t be buying right now or at least difficult for them to do so. CMC has already executed tokenised equity issuance inside regulated custody frameworks (via CMC CapX) with StrikeX minting the mirror token on Arbitrum That is post-legal review activity — meaning: 👉 Compliance 👉 Market abuse teams 👉 Personal account dealing (PAD) surveillance 👉 Regulatory reporting …are already live on anything touching this stack. When a regulated broker-dealer is: •Acting as placement agent •Tokenising securities •And now controls the tokenisation engine …they cross from “crypto partner” into: Dealer-restricted person Under market integrity rules (UK MAR / CIRO equivalents), dealer-restricted persons: “Generally [are] prohibited [from] purchases… of restricted securities where there is undisclosed material information regarding the issuer.” Now here’s the translation into plain English: If CMC Markets has: •Non-public knowledge of •A commercial rollout •Of infrastructure •That they control •Built by StrikeX Then ANY employee trading STRX ahead of launch becomes: ✔ Market abuse risk ✔ Insider dealing exposure ✔ Front-running optics ✔ FCA enforcement risk ✔ Listing rule breach risk ⸻ 🧠 Which Means In Practice: Even if you cannot find STRX on a public restricted list (you never will): Internally, CMC almost certainly has: •PAD pre-clearance requirements •Blackout periods •MNPI attestations •Related-party trading bans •Watch lists (soft) •Restricted lists (hard) …and STRX would be a textbook inclusion candidate because: 📌 They now control product direction 📌 They are commercialising tokenised securities 📌 They are listed on the LSE 📌 They are operating under MAR That is literally the regulatory environment where firms freeze employee trading in partner securities pre-commercial release. In TradFi-native crypto integrations: Retail hype normally comes from: •VC funds •Employees •Devs •Service providers •Advisory firms But here: Anyone inside: •CMC CapX •Corporate broking •Capital markets •Compliance •Engineering •Legal •Product •StrikeX integration layer …is almost certainly PAD-monitored. Meaning: The normal speculative frontrunning mechanism may literally not exist in this case. We’re doing this slowly under regulatory supervision.” They are NOT marketing a crypto app. They are integrating settlement-layer infra into a regulated brokerage. So, that leads me to the reg side of the equation and why that may be part of the wait we are seeing. I’ll touch on that next later on… #StrikeX $STRX

King Cyrus (Where You At?) 🇦🇺🇵🇭 (@LithiumGainz) reportedWhy do cmcmarkets website and trading app always crash and won't load?? Not ideal for trading as you will most likely miss trading opportunities if you can't even load their platform smh. Every morning they have issues. @CMCMarkets

Letsgooooo (@TradeStrikeX) reportedNot going to talk down the others, but I will say that $STRX token #StrikeX has major institutional backing from @CMCMarkets who will soon start taking their billions of daily trading volume onto the blockchain Potential upside is basically limitless so DYOR and position yourselves accordingly

BEGBIE (@_BEGB13_) reported@CMCMarkets Every data drop you prevent me from taking the trade when the data drops so I get in late. Now you've locked the platform! "Connection issues" on web app and on mobile "the log in details are incorrect" despite me using my ******* thumb. This is absolutely shocking

Michael Balch 🍹 (@michaelbalch) reported@CMCMarkets I'm going to assume at this point that you have no DR or redundancy, and your customer service and staff are unable to communicate externally beyond this one tweet. It's not a good look.
