Authorised to operate a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) trading cash-settled Bitcoin index futures and options, restricted to Eligible Counterparty/Professional clients only -- no retail access, and the firm cannot hold or control client money. This is GFO-X's entire UK regulatory basis for operating the venue, not a separate, unrelated authorisation alongside a different crypto-specific registration.

Is GFO-X the best crypto exchange for you?

There's no such thing as the best crypto exchange in absolute terms — only the best fit for a given person's situation. The right choice for a business that needs a clean, auditable compliance trail is rarely the right choice for an individual just holding a small amount long-term, and both are different again from someone trading derivatives professionally. We don't recommend GFO-X, or anyone else — we give you what's independently verifiable so you can make that call yourself.

Here's what we've actually verified about GFO-X, specifically:

None of this tells you whether GFO-X is right for you — that depends on what you're trying to do, which jurisdiction you're in, your own risk tolerance, and practical details this register doesn't track (fees, product range, day-to-day UX). What it does give you is what's actually checkable, so you're deciding from facts rather than the exchange's own marketing.
