Crypto Brokers in Macao, 2026
Tracked byIndependent review teamUpdated
Macao does not have a licensed retail forex or CFD industry. The AMCM regulates banks and insurance but has issued no derivatives-broker authorisations for OTC leveraged FX. Macao residents who trade do so almost exclusively via overseas brokers — typically Hong Kong SFC-licensed firms or offshore brands from Cyprus, Seychelles or Vanuatu — with funding through MOP/HKD bank accounts.

Macao does not levy a capital gains tax, and forex profits earned by individuals are not subject to Professional Tax unless trading constitutes habitual occupation. Complementary Tax applies only to commercial enterprises, with rates from 3% to 12% on annual profits above MOP 600,000.
There is no AMCM-set leverage cap because no domestic retail FX product is authorised. Cross-border outflows for personal investment are not capped under Macao law, but mainland-China-issued UnionPay cards funding offshore brokers are constrained by SAFE (PRC) annual limits. The AMCM publishes alerts on unauthorised entities soliciting Macao residents.
