Editorial notice
On 4 September 2024, ASIC cancelled the AFS Licence (AFSL 412871) of FXOpen AU Pty Ltd, citing inadequate human resources for delivering financial services and breaches of the 'key person' condition (ASIC media release 24-194MR; licence had been held since 12 December 2011). FXOpen AU applied for review with the Administrative Review Tribunal on 25 September 2024; the appeal process remains underway.

How to read this comparison
The facts below come from InvestorTrip's current broker database and linked review pages. They are a screening aid, not a claim that a broker is available, cheaper or safer for every country, account type or legal entity.
Quick Take
Both rows currently show low listed minimum deposits. XGlobalMarkets is listed with CySEC, BaFin, CONSOB and MiFID II labels, while FXOpen is listed with FCA and CySEC labels and a broad set of forex, commodity, index, crypto and equity-CFD descriptions.
Regulation And Entity Checks
Check which legal entity would open the account and whether the listed regulator label applies to that entity, product and country. Do not assume group-level labels carry across every account route.
Cost And Market Checks
Compare account type, platform access, spreads, commissions, swaps, market availability, withdrawal terms, conversion costs and complaint process from current documents before funding either broker.
Verdict
XGlobalMarkets and FXOpen both screen as low-minimum-deposit broker comparisons with CySEC-related context. XGlobalMarkets lists more European regulator labels, while FXOpen remains relevant for forex and CFD breadth; entity and costs should decide.
