## About

Proprietary trading firm that funds traders who pass an evaluation challenge, covering forex, futures and stock CFDs.

## Activity summary

E8 Markets does not offer its funded-trader programme in Syria. In September 2026 it said the restriction is not solely regulatory: its payout and verification partners impose their own geographic limits, naming RiseWorks as one, and it would support Syria once those partners allow it.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-01 — Note. In a follow-up message the same day, E8 Markets named RiseWorks, its payout provider, as a concrete example of a partner that restricts Syria, and linked to that provider's supported-countries page. It said it would support Syria once it is able to do so fully.
- 2026-09-01 — Declined. E8 Markets replied that the restriction is not solely regulatory: its third-party payout processors and verification partners impose their own geographic limits, which the company says it cannot override. It concluded that it is unable to offer its services in the region at this time.
- 2026-08-29 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer asked E8 Markets to review its country restriction on Syria, citing the revocation of the comprehensive US sanctions programme and the rescinded state sponsor of terrorism designation. The exchange ran through the company's support channel over several days.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
