The National Securities Market Commission of Spain (CNMV) has issued a warning notice to 12 different companies, including Bybit and Huobi. The warning has been sent to inform them of the failure to register with authorities.

Under the law, the CNMV has the right to execute such a warning as it is within their judicial powers. CNMV can sanction a company or give an appeal to the justice system whenever they see fit.
The 12 firms on the list are Crypto exchanges like Bybit, Huobi, Dsdaq Market, Markets Cube, Expertise Trader. This also includes Trading platforms like Markets EU, Profit Assist, and Financial Resident. The investment company Liberty Sky is on the list as well. There are other companies like the N2 Group and The Market Limited.
