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

Mo (@Ms54645010) reported@CMCMarkets not working - cleared the cache, tried other things. maybe the best fix would be to use another broker. the handling of this on a day like today is really bad

Bombaytonic (@bombaytonic717) reportedBelow is the biggest token utility story that nobody is talking about. The market at large is completely unaware of the impending supply demand tidal wave about to hit StrikeX’s $STRX. Here’s the gist: @CMCMarkets will be releasing a groundbreaking "Super App" which provides a bridge from tradfi, to defi, allowing their institutional and retail clients to seamlessly trade equities, derivatives, etc., alongside tokenized assets and other digital cryptocurrencies 24/7. One app. One account. One ecosystem. CMC will be migrating their entire trading business with $20B in daily volume to that platform, and STRX is the native utility token at the center of it all. A percentage of that $20B in daily flow is about to crash into a utility token with only 1B of supply... A token with only a 32M MC, and paltry volume AT BEST, is about to get at taste of what it’s like to be at the epicenter of a FTSE 250 UK diversified technology investment services business. Hence, a vicious supply demand tidal wave that should cause a massive repricing and long term price appreciation to an unknown and seriously undervalued and overlooked utility token, STRX. CMC has stated that the Super App will come in three phases with the first phase expected imminently. And the second phase, which will turn on the digital asset portion, is speculated to start Q1 2026. This has not been picked up on yet by influencers, pundits, or written about by any crypto specialists or news outlets. Outside the die hard StrikeX community, nobody is aware of what’s coming. The market, oblivious to quite possibly the biggest repricing event for 2026, is asleep at the wheel. However, at some point, it will be off to the races as things like this don’t stay hidden for long. Especially when the token will be needed by retail and institutional traders all over the world to trade digital assets on CMC’s Super App. $BNB $JASMY $SOL $ETH $BTC

Shane Green (@ShaneMG1991) reported@Cointelegraph StrikeX is primed. Way ahead of the game. @CMCMarkets customer base don't know how early they will access tokenised assets. 🔥

JB (@MrJJB) reported@LingwoodBen @CMCMarkets It’s been rising sharply since the outage: CMC is making money out locking out its users.

Mat (@MTradingX) reported@tacticalgibbon Anything NET negative to the customer, and that customer bounces. Hence why when CMCMarkets was the king in the 00s era (looks like you probably know the days) it got cannibilised by smarter players who offered A)better product and B) genuine incentives.

Trent Watson (@TrentWa79286162) reported@CMCMarkets This is costing me $1000's of dollars being down. Does the average trader wear the cost of a platform crash....? Not cool

Jasdeep (@jmadan) reported@IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

Michael Hewson 🇬🇧 (@mhewson_CMC) reported@fladgy @CMCMarkets I absolutely agree with you on that point but they've always been concerned about growth - you only have look at some of the stupid decisions they've taken over the past 15 years.
