The Hellenic Capital Market Commission is the Greek securities regulator operating under EU MiFID II. HCMC-licensed investment firms benefit from EU passport rights and investor protection under the Hellenic Investor Protection Fund. Most international brokers serve Greek retail clients through CySEC or other EU passporting licences rather than holding a direct HCMC authorisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

HCMC is classified as a Tier 2 crypto regulator. Established AML/KYC and registration framework. Provides meaningful oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.

We currently list 2 crypto exchanges regulated or registered under HCMC. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall rating.

HCMC is based in Greece and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it requires AML/KYC registration and provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether the exchange holds additional licences.

Visit the official HCMC website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.

HCMC regulation primarily addresses licensing, AML/KYC compliance, and operational standards. Compensation for hacks depends on the exchange's own insurance fund or Proof of Reserves commitments, not typically a government-backed compensation scheme. Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
