Foreign exchange management requires strict adherence to domestic laws and international regulatory guidelines to maintain market integrity and prevent financial crime. In the United States, FX transactions are overseen by multiple regulatory bodies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA).

Regulators establish clear operational boundaries for retail and institutional FX platforms, mandating minimum capital requirements, clear pricing disclosures, and regular reporting lines to protect market participants from deceptive trading practices and predatory execution models.
