Has anyone else heard anything through the grapevine, or perhaps seen any formal consultations from national regulators? It's crucial for us to stay ahead of these developments.

    I haven't seen anything official yet, but it wouldn't surprise me. The current restrictions can be quite limiting for retail, especially on less volatile instruments. Let's hope for something sensible, not just more red tape.

    Interesting you bring this up. I did catch a mention of potential "policy reviews" in a webinar last month, but it was very vague. I'd be all for a more nuanced approach, especially for experienced traders.
