Scope Prime (Scope Markets institutional / Rostro Group) — institutional liquidity provider
Scope Prime operates under MMCD Resources Ltd and is regulated by CySEC with a tier 2 licence. The firm provides liquidity in FX, CFDs, and multi-asset classes for institutional clients. Its self-measured claims of being a liquidity powerhouse should be approached with caution, given the absence of published venues and connectivity details.

Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.
