B2Prime adds offshore Security Dealer license in Seychelles
Multi-asset Prime of Prime liquidity provider B2Prime has announced that it has achieved another significant regulatory milestone by obtaining a security dealer license in Seychelles. This marks the third license for B2Prime, following those in Cyprus and Mauritius. B2Prime also recently received initial approval for a Dubai VARA crypto license.
The company said that these jurisdictions serve as key hubs with a high concentration of brokers, and B2Prime is dedicated to serving regulated market participants not only in these locations but also throughout Europe. This latest license underscores B2Prime’s commitment to providing trusted and compliant services to its global client base.
Seychelles, recognised as a crucial offshore hub for brokers, provides B2Prime with a strategic platform to distribute liquidity locally across all regulated companies.
The newly acquired security dealer license enables the B2Prime group to engage in crucial financial activities, such as negotiating and entering agreements for acquiring, disposing of, subscribing for, or underwriting securities. Additionally, it allows to manage securities transactions, handle sales, and manage portfolios of securities on behalf of the clients.
B2Prime offers over 225 instruments across six asset classes in CFDs, including Forex, Cryptos, Spot Indices, Precious Metals, Commodities, and NDFs, all through a single margin account. B2Prime clients benefit from deep liquidity pools sourced from Tier-1 providers, which ensure tight spreads and ultra-fast execution. Connectivity options, including oneZero, PXM, Centroid, T4B, FIX API, and cTrader, further facilitate seamless integration and efficiency.
Eugenia Mykulyak, Founder & Executive Director of B2Prime said:
“Establishing our operations in Seychelles opens doors to our Prime of Prime liquidity and enhanced service levels for local brokers, hedge funds, money managers, institutional clients, and liquidity providers. This step forward aligns perfectly with our goal of providing top-tier financial services worldwide and enables us to offer even greater reliability and seize new opportunities in global markets.”

In the same period, shareholders’ equity rose by 8%, with year-on-year comparisons showing a 68% growth in total assets and a 64% increase in client assets held for trading.

The company said that these figures highlight a strong balance sheet and show B2Prime’s ongoing devotion to growth and reliability.
