FxPro and FXTM are not binary brokers but they are reputable brokers.
Binary's are banned now in the EU. They should have been strictly regulated under a gambling commission and not promoted as an investment vehicle.
Furthermore, the practices of many of these binary companies was highly unethical. The way they were operating as a collective is what tarnished their industry. They were essentially robbing people.
This was something I didnt understand, the odds were so far in the binary companies favor. (much better than a roulette wheel for a casino) but they couldn't let the clients entertain themselves and lose their money by themselves 'legitimately'. They had to rob them as well.
There are many operating in Cyprus.
CySec has welcomed these operators into Cyprus whereas they are not allowed in the US, Europe or Australia.

Yes many of them were in Cyprus, however the scam was revealed by the way they (some, many) were operating as a business. At surface level, binaries are a product that can be regulated but in my opinion, they should be regulated by a gambling commission.
Nadex is a binary options broker operating in the US, licensed and regulated by the CFTC.
