La clasificación por niveles usa la misma escala que el registro minorista: nivel 1 = supervisión tipo FCA/ASIC/CFTC, nivel 2 = tipo CySEC/FSC-Mauricio/MFSA, nivel 3 = registro offshore. Una licencia de nivel 2 es supervisión real sin fondo de compensación al inversor: nunca la confundas con la protección de nivel 1.
