As the global forex market continues to move toward regulatory convergence and greater transparency, “trust,” a concept long and frequently emphasized, is gradually evolving from a subjective perception into a quantifiable and verifiable industry standard.
WikiFX announces that its industry initiative, “Let Trust Be Seen,” has achieved phased results, attracting broad attention and participation worldwide.
In the forex industry, trust is often closely related to platform compliance, trading safety, and investor protection. However, due to the long-standing lack of unified evaluation systems and information disclosure standards, market participants have typically relied on fragmented information, leaving information asymmetry a persistent challenge.
The core of this initiative lies a key question: How can trust be “seen”?
To explore this, WikiFX brought together more than 150 industry participants, including brokers, media representatives, IBs, and experts to conduct a systematic exploration through diverse content formats such as in-depth interviews, a micro-documentary, and opinion posters. From raising questions to expressing practical insights, the initiative seeks to define “verifiable trust”, Let positive industry efforts be seen, let high-quality risk education be seen, and let real investor feedback be seen.
This initiative has sparked widespread attention and in-depth discussion globally. Industry media outlets and content platforms have actively amplified the campaign, generating over 62.679 million impressions to date. becoming one of the most representative collective actions around “trust and transparency” in recent years.
As a key outcome of the campaign, the micro-documentary “Let Trust Be Seen”, which captures authentic perspectives and actions toward transparency across the industry, has been widely shared by major media outlets and platforms, including DailyForex and others. Industry media not only act as amplifiers of information but also play a vital role in advancing industry transparency.
At the same time, diverse voices from industry experts, brokers, and IB representatives have shared their perspectives on trust through social media:
Across these perspectives, a clearer industry consensus is emerging: trust must be visible and verified. To foster a more transparent and trustworthy ecosystem, industry participants are taking concrete actions:
In addition, several industry professionals have shared their own interpretations of trust:
Jimmy Chan (Founder of GMI) describes trust as “the most valuable asset”;Mohamed Lewaa emphasizes that “trust is the result of long-term behavior”; Lance (Founder of Brightwave Solutions) notes that “trust is not based on feeling, but on verification”; while Lê Minh Phương (CEO of V2X Solutions) views trust as “an invisible bridge.”
During the campaign, we found that more and more market participants are recognizing that a truly sustainable trust system must be built on verifiable data, transparent processes, and consistent long-term behavior. Through process transparency, data visualization, and standardized information presentation, the industry is gradually forming a clearer and more traceable cognitive framework, strengthening the foundation of trust among participants.
From brokers to media, from technology providers to experts, more and more participants are moving toward collaborative co-creation of trust. WikiFX, together with industry participants, would continusly bring trustworthy information into light, to let trust be seen.
The indispensable role of trust has become a key foundation in advancing transparency standards and building a healthier, more sustainable forex ecosystem.
When information is clear, decisions become rational. When transparency becomes the norm, trust can truly be established. WikiFX will continue to work alongside global industry partners and investors to promote transparency and explore more systematic trust evaluation frameworks, driving the forex trading ecosystem toward greater standardization and sustainability.

The rupee bounced to 95.20 but RBI's forex reserves took a brutal $8.1 billion hit in a single week — here is what every Indian investor needs to understand right now.
CMC MARKETS presents a mixed picture for forex traders, earning a moderate overall rating of 6.4 out of 10 based on 228 reviews and a "Use with Caution" designation. The broker demonstrates notable strengths that have resonated with the majority of its client base, particularly its user-friendly interface that simplifies the trading experience, responsive customer support that addresses initial inquiries effectively, and a solid reputation for safety that provides some reassurance to traders. These positive attributes are reflected in the sentiment distribution, where 150 reviews were positive compared to just 47 negative ones, suggesting that many traders have had satisfactory experiences with the platform. However, the 20.6% negative rate cannot be ignored, as it highlights recurring concerns that potential clients should carefully consider.

No, we are not kidding! The rupee has indeed hit this low, from 90 to 95 against the US dollar, the fastest in nearly a decade, highlighting the slump due to rising crude oil prices and global uncertainty from the series of adverse events related to the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. It just took five months for the rupee to weaken from 90 to 95, the sharpest five-point depreciation since the 2013 taper tantrum. During this period, the rupee declined from 60 to 65 within a month amid concerns over India’s current account deficit and large capital outflows.

While it was a flat day for India’s benchmark stock indices (Sensex & Nifty), there was a sort of recovery for the rupee in the foreign exchange market on May 21, 2026. Giving investors more reasons to enjoy was another bull run for gold, which is touching the 16K threshold for 10 grams. Taking three markets combined, the overall sentiment remains mixed for investors. Here is how the day panned out for investors across these markets.
