ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise the International Financial Trading Championship (IFTC), conducted under the institutional governance of the International Financial Consultant Certified Institute (IFCCI), for achieving a significant regional milestone as the:
First and Largest Number of Portal-Registered Participants Within 4 Hours in a Global Financial Trading Championship Conducted Across 20 Licensed Trading Platforms Regulated by 10 International Authorities (1,027 verified participant registrations recorded between 10:00 and 14:00 on 27 February 2026).

– DFSA (UAE)
– ADGM FSRA (UAE)
– JFSA (Japan)
– MAS (Singapore)
– LFSA (Malaysia) - A centralised registration and verification system, ensuring transparency, auditability, and consistency of participation data
Speed with Structure: Demonstrating Controlled Scale
Achieving 1,027 verified participants within a four-hour window highlights the system’s ability to balance:
- High-speed onboarding

- Governance-compliant execution
This milestone demonstrates that scale can be achieved within a controlled and structured framework.
