  3. What does 'segregated client funds' mean in regulated binary options?

    Answer: Client money is held in separate accounts from the broker's operating funds to protect traders in case of broker insolvency

    Regulated brokers must keep client funds in separate bank accounts from company funds, ensuring traders can recover their money if the broker goes bankrupt.

  4. What is the purpose of 'regulatory capital requirements' for binary options brokers?
